Are you finding that you have the same response when it comes to bleacher safety and renovation, “we need more funding”? Now is the time to start thinking outside the box. Hussey Seating Company offers features to help make it happen with the support of others – you just have to get creative. For example, think about Safety End-Closure Curtains. The purpose is to block unauthorized access to the bleacher understructure which prevents both vandalism and injury liability. The End-Closure Curtain opens and closes with your telescoping bleachers and is durable for long-term wear with its water and UV resistant material. So, even if a slushy is spilled down the side, your curtain will withstand it! This is a must-have item when it comes to bleacher safety. So how do you make it possible on low funds?
You find support from local companies and fundraisers. A great feature of the Safety End-Closure Curtain is that the design you select for your curtain can be 100% personalized and can bleed off the edges (the image takes up the entire design space). You can feature your school mascot, your colors, photos, and even sponsor logos. That’s right. You can design your curtain to include the people that make contributions as a way of saying thank you. Think of it as a banner that you never have to take down. You can also charge the booster clubs or students to hold a fundraiser and design contest to design the image that could be featured in your facility. What better way to support our future leaders than to give them a creative outlet to share with others? What’s better – if you have openings on both sides, you can choose two different designs!
There are additional options that make safety look good and can be personalized – you can opt for Top Closure Curtains that stop the temptation to climb on the bleachers to retrieve the basketball during gym class and you can cover the aisle ways completely while in the closed position with Aisle Closure Curtains. In the photo below – see the open space that is a tempting ladder? It shouldn’t be climbed on in the closed position. Doing so will damage the understructure of your system and cause premature ware and hazardous to the person doing the climbing.
Logo placement doesn’t stop with curtains though. You can also personalize the logos that adhere to your CourtSide Seats. You could have a VIP section sponsored by organization “A”, a student section sponsored by organization “B”, and the band section sponsored by organization “C.”
So get outside the box, approach students and parents for creative fundraising ideas and dream up the image you want to reflect your school spirit while thanking others for their support. Don’t hesitate to contact us with questions or quotes – we’re here you help you not only to keep safety in mind – but to make it priority!
