Rent Covered Bleacher Seating


Covered bleacher seating is an excellent choice for many outside events.  Some reasons to choose covered bleacher seating over open air seating would be to protect your guests from the sun during the summer season, shield people from the rain if the event is scheduled in a wet season or just provide shelter from the elements during the event.  Another reason would be to use the bleachers for a private event in which case a larger tent or structure can be used and closed in to make the event feel more indoors.  Whatever the case covered bleachers can add a great deal of protection and comfort for event seating.  

If you decide to use a tent to cover the bleachers you need to make sure they will be large enough to accommodate the bleacher seating. If using a 10 row bleacher system the tent need to be at least 12’ tall to start in order to clear the back fence height and allow for people to get to the highest seats.  The depth of the tent must be at least 20’ but larger is suggested if you would like to have a little covered space in front of the bleachers.  As always we are available by phone or email to assist you with your event layout and design and help make the right decisions for the events needs.  

While we do not carry tents or shade structures in our inventory, our network of vendors spreads across the US and no matter the area we can find a qualified company to assist and provide quality cover for the bleacher seating.

Rent Bleachers for Little League Baseball and Rec Sports

Don't forget to rent bleachers in time for little league baseball, youth soccer, etc, as well as bleacher rentals for tennis tournaments!

Here comes the spring and with it rec sports! All different types of sporting events will start happening over the next few weeks. From little league baseball and games to soccer events and tennis matches. All sports have a tie to the community and people who participate or spectate during the events. The spring sports definitely teach children valuable life lessons and sometimes the parents as well.

One of the commonalities between the sports is that everyone needs a place to sit and watch the practices and games. Sometimes fields or events do not have adequate spectator seating for the games, and that is when they call Rental Bleachers Inc to fill those needs. Our custom aluminum angle frame bleachers for rent are used throughout the sporting industry for events as small as a backyard baseball game to an SEC swim meet or even a nationally televised fitness competition.

Every event we provide bleacher seating for has benefited either by adding additional revenue by selling seats or just making the guests more comfortable while they watch their children play the game. Next month in Rome Georgia we will be providing rental bleacher seating for the Rome Braves baseball club during an exhibition game and we are very excited to be a part of such a great event. The seating will be for over 1000 additional fans and the game should be amazing.

Bleacher Rentals in Atlanta Georgia

In 2013 RBI completed numerous projects in the Atlanta area for clients ranging from schools requiring additional seating for football games and other sporting events to movie productions using our bleachers to make magic happen on set. Being based in Florida may seem like it would be hard to provide competitive prices for bleachers in the area however our unique bleacher design and installation process allows us to not only compete but offer some of the best pricing for events all across the State of Georgia.  

During a corporate event in Centennial Olympic Park this past spring we installed 1,200 total seats for a one day event and the installation took 6 hours.  We came into the park after dark and when the sun had risen the bleachers were ready for the games.

What to expect when renting bleachers for your event!

When you are trying to find bleachers to rent for an event, the first question is always "How much does it cost to rent bleachers?".    The challenge with this question is there are many different factors that determine the cost for an event that needs rental bleachers.    Here are some of the questions you should expect when you contact a rental bleacher company (ideally Rental Bleachers, Inc.!).

  • Where will the event take place?   You will need to know at least the city and state for the event.  At RBI, we can provide rental bleachers in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. 
  • Will the event be indoors or outdoors?   This will determine the type of bleachers and the amount of work needed to prep the area to set-up the temporary bleachers.
  • What type of surface will the bleachers be placed?   Is it level, is there enough room?  If we need to level the area for the bleachers, there could be additional costs.
  • How will the installers access the area to deliver the rental bleachers?  A key factor in cost can be if the bleacher installation team needs to carry the materials, or if they can drive up to the location where the aluminum bleachers will be installed.
  • How many people are you seating at your event?   Usually bleachers are based on a "per seat" basis, and the more seats you rent, the less per seat the cost would be.  If your event is charging for seats, it may be most cost effective to rent more bleachers and have some extra space.
  • When is the event, and how long will you need to rent the bleachers?   Bleacher rentals are available for one day, one week, several weeks, or even months.
  • Will the city or local government where the bleachers will be rented require engineer drawings of the bleachers?   Most do not, however, some may require this based upon the size of the bleacher seating.  Some may even require plans for the project.   We can provide all of this, but it is an important factor.

In Charge of Event Seating? Here's What You Should Know

If you're in charge of planning seating for an indoor or outdoor event, you'll want to contact companies that provide bleachers for rent. Aluminum bleachers come in numerous sizes and configurations and are lightweight and quick to set up. If your event is to be held outdoors, make note of the type of ground the bleachers will be placed upon, and take pictures if possible. At Rental Bleachers, Inc. we can provide aluminum bleachers for just about any event.

Use Past Event Data to Estimate Crowd Size


If this will be the first time the event takes place, you'll have to do more guessing about crowd size. If it's an annual event, look at several years of data on crowd size to help you estimate how many people will need seating. Take into account the type of weather to expect if you're planning an outdoor event, and see if you can gather crowd size data from similar events if this is a first-time performance.

Measure Seating Space Carefully


If the event is to be held indoors, find out exactly how much space is set aside for the performance or participants so you'll know how much space you'll have for seating. Bleachers for rent come in a range of sizes, so you should be able to accommodate the space you have available.

Evaluate Access for Seating Providers


Particularly for indoor occasions, you need to measure doorways and find out exactly how the seating provider will access the space. Taking photos of the doorways will be helpful too. Outdoors, determine how close the delivery truck bringing your aluminium bleachers can get to where they will be set up. Also make note of obstructions like trees and gates.

Ask for Input About Number and Location of Aisles


The more people you need to seat, the fewer aisles you should have. Two smaller bleachers won't seat as many people as one larger bleacher in the same place. At Rental Bleachers Inc. we have extensive experience providing seating for indoor and outdoor occasions, including those involving limited physical access for delivery trucks. The more information you can provide your bleacher rental firm, the better.

Bleachers Make Your Next Event a Success

Sometimes bleachers are needed for a one-time event, such as a charity golf tournament or a marathon. People are less likely to attend if they know they have to either bring a folding chair or stand during the event. Bleachers provided by Rental Bleachers, Inc. serve the Southeast with bleacher seating in numerous configurations. Taking care of something as simple as seating can make the difference in the success of your sporting event.

Need Seating for Soccer Season?


Some situations require a longer term rental. If your community has new soccer fields, for example, but permanent seating is not yet in the budget, you can rent bleachers for the duration of your sporting season at a reasonable cost, a move that will encourage more participation and spectators. Look for rental companies with staff who are knowledgeable about all current seating and bleacher safety codes.

Political Rallies and Aluminum Portable Bleachers


Are you in charge of getting people to come out to a political rally? Providing bleacher seating is a sure way to get more people to show up. Lugging a fold-up chair around or knowing they'll have to stand for a couple of hours makes many people choose to stay home instead. Provide bleachers and you encourage not only more participation, but a sense of community among participants.

Have a Cultural Festival Coming Up?


Your Renaissance festival or street fair may benefit greatly from temporary installation of bleachers. Choose a provider that offers safety features such as chain link safety fencing around the back and sides of your bleachers to ensure the comfort and safety of spectators.

Bleachers for Dance or Theatrical Events


There's nothing like a "Shakespeare in the Park" night or a Fourth of July talent competition to bring a community together. You can rent bleachers for these events to help ensure a better turnout and make the performances much more enjoyable. At Rental Bleachers, Inc., we have experience providing bleacher seating to every type of event, from sports to plays to political rallies. If you're in charge of an event, find out how rental bleachers can help it succeed.

Ask the Right Questions to Get the Most from Bleacher Seating

The best way to keep seating costs appropriate for your event is to have a variety of bleacher sizes to choose from so you can match seating to the expected number of attendees. We at Rental Bleachers are one of the top bleacher seating providers and have many sizes of bleachers available so you can be confident of sufficient seating without paying for more than you need.

Can You Explain All Charges and Fees?


Everybody is budget conscious these days, and nobody likes surprises when it's time to pay. If you're renting, for example, aluminum bleachers for an outdoor concert, you need to know all the charges and fees and what they're for. We'll be happy to explain the costs, including delivery, set-up, and take down charges.

Can You Place Bleachers on a Dirt (or Sand) Surface?


Bleachers need a firm foundation, and when we talk to you, we'll ask you about the type of surface on which the bleachers will be placed. We've been in business long enough to understand that we can't make a qualified recommendation until we understand what type of surface you'll be placing bleachers on.

Have You Provided Seating for This Type Event Before?


It's best if your bleacher rental company has worked on events similar to yours before. Do they know the best type of bleachers for a parade, graduation ceremony, or concert? Can they help you determine if you need a center aisle or not? Can they get to the setup site in plenty of time before the event? At Rental Bleachers, we've worked on all types of events, and likey have the experience needed for yours.

Can I See the Engineering Drawings?


If you're a city event coordinator and you need seating for a parade, for example, you may feel more comfortable if your city engineer looks over the engineering drawings for the aluminum bleachers you want for the event. Some events require engineering drawing inspection before a bleacher contract is signed. At Rental Bleachers, we're happy to accommodate requests to look at engineering drawings.
