A seated grandstand provides every spectator with an individual seat, making it ideal for longer events where comfort is a priority. Standing grandstands allow significantly more people in the same footprint, but offer less comfort and are better suited to shorter events.
Options include bench seating (economical and functional), bucket seats (a versatile standard solution), tip-up seats (improved comfort and easier row access), and premium upholstered seats for VIP areas. All variants are available in a wide range of colours and can be individually numbered.
As a guideline, each seat requires approximately 50 cm in width and 80 cm in row depth. The step height is typically around 25 cm to ensure clear sightlines. Exact dimensions vary depending on the seating system chosen and local regulatory requirements.
Yes. Seat shells for outdoor use are made from UV-resistant and weatherproof polypropylene. If required, the grandstand can be fitted with a roof cover to protect spectators from rain and direct sunlight.
Yes. Accessibility requirements vary by country and local regulations, but as a general standard at least 1% of total seating capacity should be designated for wheelchair users, with companion seats alongside. These spaces must be clearly signposted and easily reachable.
Yes. Seat shells are available in many colours and can be printed with logos. In addition, fascia panels, cladding, and handrails can all be designed to match your corporate identity or event branding – ideal for sponsor activations or branded experiences.
Clear sightlines are achieved through the stepped arrangement of rows and careful calculation of the riser height. This ensures every spectator can see over the heads of the row in front. The angle and rise are tailored to the distance from the event area and the overall height of the structure.
