Reasons And Benefits Of Using Wooden Bleachers Instead

By Lisa Allen


Unlike outdoor concerts, where the audience might prefer to sit on grass in all their hippie glory, sporting events have fans that are almost always engrossed on the competition. They want to somehow participate by collectively screaming and chanting. This is why bleachers have become popular in gyms, stadiums and arenas, for the comfort they provide and the encouragement of some form of solidarity with other fans.

These seats are seemingly mundane structures that go unnoticed. All that is know is how they have just always been there. Whether it may be a closed arena or an open one wooden bleachers are a staple. There are many advantages to using wood for the seats.

Some of these seats have a metal framing to ensure safety and durability over time. More often than not, wood gets damaged easily when exposed to humid areas, or really just water, even when coated with varnish. But what makes this material more preferable than plastic, vinyl and rubber is how wood can either just naturally degrade or be re purposed. There is little waste in its usage.

You can find so many projects online that can teach you how to build something out of used lumber from bleachers. They also have a myriad of ideas regarding this that would go perfectly with any interior. The rustic looks is a great addition whether you are going for contemporary or industrial interior design styles.

The bleacher themselves look great in any gym. It is best to pick these types of stands for indoor use since this material tends to deteriorate faster in humid places and anywhere else that gets it exposed to water. Many of these seats are also portable in case there is a need to keep them or reposition them from one side of the room to another.

Just make sure their planks are varnished and coated to avoid splinters and chipping. While the argument remains that other types of materials such as vinyl, plastic and rubber are more durable, anyone can attest that wood also is, it looks great and it can be recycled. Parts like the planks and bolts can be easily replaced. Imagine having deteriorating lumber and just taking them off to be used and then bought for some other purpose.

The base of these structures are often made of metal so that replacement of planks and other parts become easier. Plastic also lasts long and they are one of the most durable materials out there, but re using them is very difficult to make look charming. It also is nearly impossible to turn plastic bleacher seats into anything else other than, well, seats.

You can be guaranteed that they got sold by bulks to people who have a list of ideas for re purposing these materials. There are just so many things you can make with a saw, some nails, a hammer and some wood. The recycling and decomposing property of wood makes it an ideal material without compromising aesthetic. I

This is one versatile material that is used for many things. Whether you have floors, doors or a house made of wood, you are guaranteed that the value of your property and furniture will rise. This can be because of the specific type of board used or for using it again as an element of some other furniture. It decreases the waste that comes from many synthetic products.
