Bleacher Maintenance and Repair Checklist
GT Grandstands builds high quality stadium bleachers and grandstands. We build facilities used by hundreds of thousands of people in their lifetime. To ensure the highest level of safety and to allow our grandstands and bleachers to last, we recommend regularly repairing and maintaining them. Annually, your staff should perform a periodic inspection and tightening of bolts. We also encourage our customers to have a professional engineer or registered architect perform a biannual inspection.
