Are your bleachers looking old or dirty? Do they have problems going in and out? Are they safe and secure? If you answered no to any of these three questions, your bleachers may imply a safety risk to spectators.

Storms have been rolling through the Kentucky and Southern Indiana areas lately. We’ve had tornado warnings (and some confirmed touch-downs), flash flooding, damaging winds, and severe thunderstorms. It’s been a rough ride so far, and we’re really just at the beginning of the storm season.

All of the things listed above could be bad news for outdoor sports equipment and grandstand seating. High winds could be damaging to equipment and sometimes make seating a safety threat for fans and spectators.

Along with providing and installing this type of equipment, we also service it. If you even have a question about the safety of your bleachers you should complete safety inspection for all of your outdoor equipment, please contact us for a complete safety inspection. It’s better to be safe than sorry, especially after all the storms and high winds we’ve experienced.

There are a number of ways you can get in touch with us and set up an appointment:

• Use our contact form online. We have a 24-hour guaranteed response system in place so you can be sure someone will follow up with you promptly.
• Fill out our maintenance and safety interest form.
• Give us a call at 502.241.6010.

We look forward to making sure your seating and equipment is safe and in good working condition.

In recent months, our business has grown. It became apparent to us that our web presence wasn’t what it should be. We wanted our customers to be able to find us easily online and connect with us in a variety of different ways. We also wanted to be able to provide the kind of information you’re searching for on the web.

In order to accomplish these things, we’ve launched a new website. This site is interactive and will hopefully provide a better online experience for our visitors.

Here are some things you can expect:

• Regular blog posts covering new happenings at Toadvine and industry-related news.
• Videos, interviews, and other media that will help you get to know us on a more personal level.
• Other ways to connect online, like links to our social media accounts.
• The ability to sign up for our monthly newsletter or subscribe via RSS feeds.
• Easy-to-navigate pages and links to vendors.
• More online content for education and enjoyment purposes.

Thanks for checking out our new site. If you have any questions or if there’s a certain topic you would like to see covered on our blog, you can submit comments through our online form. Let us know what you think!
