Do your bleachers arrive already assembled?
-
The answer
this question is no. They are not hard to assemble however. Our
bleachers come with instructions and there are no special skills or
tools needed to assemble them. 99% of all the bleachers we sell our put
together by an end-user that never built bleachers before. There are a
few basic things that need to be assembled on all bleachers and that
would be the planking and end caps. Are bleachers, pre-welded and
predrilled making assembly easy. Simply take a clip which is a small
piece of flat metal with a hole in it insert a bolt into the whole
slide the clip into the channels that are underneath the plank line it
up with the whole that is predrilled in the frame and tighten the two
together with a nut washer and socket wrench. And caps are simply
slipped over the end of the planks. In some instances there will be
optional equipment to be attached such as bracing, hand rails,
chain-link fencing, or handicapped ramps. All of these optional items
are not difficult to install and can be installed by just about anyone
who has some mechanical ability. A good rule of thumb to use to
calculate what will be necessary in terms of man-hours for the assembly
of your project. Is to multiply the number of seats that your bleacher
or
bleachers
contain by 0.35. This will give you the approximate man-hours needed to
assemble your project. For example let's say the seating capacity for
the bleachers you've decided to choose is 70 per set. You've decided to
purchase three of these sets. The total seating capacity for all three
cents is 210. Multiply to 10 x 0.35 = 73.5. This is the total amount of
man-hours needed to assemble the bleachers in this project. Let's say
you have six people that are going to help assemble the bleachers for
your project simply divide 73.5 x 6 to arrive at 12.25 hours per
person. So for this project you have six people the work a little over
six hours per day for two days to assemble your project that will seat
210 people. The multiplier of 0.35 used in the above example is an
average of smaller and larger bleachers with varying difficulty factors
erring on the higher side of the difficulty range therefore multiple
smaller bleachers of less complexity may take less time to assemble
than described above.
- The answer is no. It is standard throughout the bleacher industry that orders come unassembled. The reason why they're not sold preassembled is that they would be very prone to damage in transit.
- The next most commonly asked question then is are they hard to assemble?
