Retractable, or recessed bleachers, are one of the most traditional systems of seating for basketball arenas and school gymnasiums. This system utilizes a tiered seating structure and a pocket in the wall that houses the bleacher when closed. The bleacher is hidden away from sight, generally under a balcony or mezzanine when the seating area is needed for other purposes. Each platform conveniently stores under the one above it to create minimal storage area.

Only minimal clearance is required for the bleachers to fit comfortably under the balcony overhang. When bleachers are stacked, floor space is utilized to maximum capacity. This system is available with 24 rows. Upper and lower tracking guides and removable end rails can accommodate custom transition steps to the balcony when needed. Here are some additional advantages the recessed seating system can provide for your sports facility:

• Optimum use of facility space
• Savings on land and building cost
• Increased revenue potential
• Fast and resourceful seating arrangements
• Comfort and optimum viewing for patrons

Recessed platforms are outfitted with upper and lower tracking guides, removable end rails, and can accommodate custom transition steps to the balcony when required.These systems can be customized to meet the ongoing and changing needs of your basketball facility while maximizing capacity. Automatic power options can also be added for easy operation.

After a game of hoops, oftentimes facilities need to make space for another event. Telescopic gymnasium bleachers offer the best of both worlds. When your facility needs to open up your space for another sporting event, your bleacher system can retract into a compact storage position, maximizing the facility floor space. All rows move at once to a closed position and provide either a flat fold front or closed back, increasing usable floor space.

Telescopic bleachers in your basketball gymnasium can be installed with many options including:

• Manual or electric friction operation
• Forward-fold, reverse fold, and mobile systems
• Floor-attached, wall attached, or recessed foundations
• Self-storing, removable end rails
• Self-storing, removable or folding aisle rails
• Optional platform chairs

After completing a stadium system, any of the aluminum and steel components, including rails, fences, benches, risers, and treads, can be finished with a variety of coatings and technologies, or they can be left unfinished. 

Steel Finishing

Steel finishing is often used in stadiums for support structures, fencing, or railings. Galvanizing is also done to enhance the look and durability of the steel when it makes sense. Chain link fencing can also be enhanced through vinyl coating.

Aluminum Finishing

Aluminum coating is a cost-effective way to finish off a walkway. Traction finishes can also be added to make tread extrusions more slip-resistant. Anodized aluminum can help protect other surfaces from temporary stains, while painted aluminum brings a more high-impact colorful addition to risers, backrests, fences, and rails.
