How To Maximise Comfort and Capacity With Your Outdoor Seating

Grandstands are a common seating solution for sporting grounds/facilities, schools and community spaces around the country. Identifiable by their tiered structure, grandstands provide every spectator with an optimal view from every angle. While in large entertainment/sporting facilities, grandstands are typically made up of rows of singular seats, something like this isn’t always feasible for smaller community-based organisations and sporting clubs. You need a grandstand solution that will not only be comfortable for your spectators but also provide enough seating for everyone while not requiring a large-scale build and being too harsh on your budget. This is where freestanding aluminium grandstands edge out the competition.

Extra Leg Room

Sporting matches or other forms of entertainment aren’t necessarily short activities they often run for hours at time so comfort and having enough space is essential in the seating you choose. While it might seem like other seating options such as bench seating would give people more room to stretch out over longer periods of time, with no support it can become uncomfortable. Unlike sitting in rows of general seating the tiered structure of a grandstand provides a good amount of that much needed leg to ensure that your spectators are comfortable for the entire duration of the event.

Unobstructed Views

Have you ever been to an event where all the seating is on the same level, and you’ve been the unlucky person who had someone tall sitting in front of you? It’s not much fun when you can’t see what’s happening. Grandstands eliminate this. The staggered tiered design of grandstand seating is specifically engineered to enhance your viewing experience, ensuring that everyone has a clear line of sight. With multiple levels of seating, each row rises slightly higher than the one in front, creating a cascading effect that provides optimal viewing for anyone sitting in the grandstand. The tiered levels offer just enough height difference to guarantee that your view won’t be obstructed by someone tall sitting directly in your line of sight.

Space Maximisation

When it comes to an event, whether it’s sporting or cultural, you need to ensure that you have plenty of seating for all your attendees. While other outdoor seating options like bench seating are popular at sporting facilities as they can be places close to the action, such as around the edges of the oval, there often isn’t enough to cater for everyone due to how they are designed. When you compare this to the design of a grandstand in a similar amount of space that would be occupied by the bench seating, a grandstand can triple, if not even quadruple, the amount of spectator seating in your space. Opting for a grandstand over standard bench seating, you can efficiently maximise your space and ensure no one has to struggle to find seating. While grandstands are designed to accommodate large groups of spectators, if you place multiple grandstands next to each other, you can accommodate even larger groups, which can help foster an even stronger sense of community.
