Some Things To Know About Yellow Pine Bleacher Boards

By Sandra Hall


Pines are among the strongest of wood types and are often used for installations that are built for hard weather exposure and with little maintenance. Of course, these will be painted over with one or two coats of protective paint. But other than that and perhaps some occasional repaintings, these things will be left alone, perhaps on the old high school playing fields.

The South plays host to a general type of pines that grow well on its acid red clay. Southern yellow pine bleacher boards are made from these trees, and they grow from Virginia and west to Texas. However, these are more or less different species that are found all over the South, like longleaf, slash, Loblolly or shortleaf pine.

The authentic items that are made from Southern yellow pine can come from a number of companies that make and market them. These could be things that are custom ordered or presized and fabricated, delivered according to the number of items needed by a client. The board are best used for things like collapsed bleachers by the playing field.

The pine tree wood has an even grain that works best for bleacher seating, while its strength and durability are legendary among experts and manufacturers. It is not hardwood, but when varnished or finished properly, it can withstand constant open air exposure for years on end. This means that the new bleacher installation built now can serve the next generation of sports fans.

Climate issues aside, these are bleachers that may not be found in all places. A good outfit producing products in this line should be the company to contact for the needed boards. And you may also access other species of pine found in the west for these bleachers, the Jeffrey and ponderosa that are found on the hills and mountains of the Western US.

Bleachers break down or are damaged daily, and there might be those unfortunates who drop from boards that break during games. For schools, it might be best to check their outdoor seating before the start of the season, replacing those boards that seem weak or are damaged. These can be made from other stuff, but when these are, they need to have the stuff from genuine manufacturers.

Online is where you can find this company easily, just by using the relevant search subject on your browser. If you know your woods, you can tell just from looking at the boards that are being displayed on a website which are genuine and which are not. If you cannot tell the difference you might consult with an experienced local carpenter you know.

The company that makes them might be far from your location, so the install needs to be done by a conveniently located builder. But the deliveries can be made by the board manufacturer, and the larger the order is, there will be discounts that can be availed of. These boards are great for all kinds of installations, not just on bleachers.

Products like these boards are premium, companies might have hordes of clients, or you should simply place an order long before the products are needed. Establishing excellent communications with one such company will be great. In this way, you can really prepare for all your bleacher maintenance requirements, and can even do prestocking to answer urgent repair needs.
