Warranty

Design

Seating shall be designed to support, in addition to its own weight, a uniformly distributed live load of not less than 100 pounds per square foot of gross horizontal projection of the facility. All seat and foot plank members shall be designed to support not less than 120 pounds per lineal foot over a 6' span, multi-span condition. Facility shall be designed to resist with or without live load a horizontal wind load of not less than 30 pounds per square foot of gross vertical projection. Structure shall also be designed to resist, in addition to the live load, sway forces applied to the seat in a direction parallel to the direction of the seat planks of 24 pounds per lineal foot and separately in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the seats of 10 pounds per lineal foot of seat plank.

Support Structure

Support structure shall consist of welded aluminum angle frames set on no greater than 6'-0" centers. Aluminum angle bracing shall be installed in all bays to support wind and sway loads. All aluminum angle is ALLOY 6005A-T6 or 6061-T6 mill finish. Each frame shall consist of vertical aluminum angle, diagonal aluminum angle, and horizontal aluminum angle welded to form an 8" or 6" rise and a 24" tread depth unless otherwise specified or required. Seat plank shall rest on a seat support with a minimum bearing surface of 8-1/2" for optimum resistance to torsion stress. All welded connections shall be by certified aluminum welders. All parts shall be welded on all sides for optimum strength. Configuration shall provide for applicable rows of seating For transportable units, all frames shall be modified to receive a tongue at a height 6" above ground level of bleacher.
