  • Smooth stair grabrail transition to grade.

  • End caps completely close all ends of extrusions.

  • Bench seating can be upgraded to our Venue I chair seating with no modifications to the deck or understructure.

Welded Decking System

  • Rigid solid deck that is comparable to concrete.

  • Does not require the annual maintenance required of concrete.

  • Proven System. This system has been around since the 1980's.

  • Eliminates trash build-up commonly found between the footboards of a standard designed grandstand and designed to minimize maintenance.

  • Eliminates insect infestation, stench, and possibility of fire created with litter and water shields.

  • Minimizes water leakage.

  • Slope of 1% directs water and clean-up to the front of the stand.

  • Reduces the amount of erosion under grandstand caused by standard decking designs.

  • No oil-canning of the deck as is commonly found in aluminum and steel plate decks.

  • All welded is in a controlled factory environment.

  • All joint sleeve inserts have a structural threshold far spanning comparable closed or interlocking decking systems.

  • Eliminates rattle commonly found between closed or interlocking decking systems.

  • Top-side welded seams create a top-side seal, thus eliminating channels or valleys. Prevents water from seeping into concealed crevices that will lead to splitting and cracking of deck members during the freeze/thaw cycle.

  • Drip edge on riser portion of system creates a shingle effect to push water toward the front of the structure.

  • Risers are mechanically fastened six inches on center creating a complete structural system. Also eliminates rattle between riser and horizontal deck members caused by heel kicking and foot stomping by spectators.

  • Designed to give you the option of riser mounted benches and chairs to aid in the cleaning of the grandstand.

  • All welds are factory cleaned prior to shipment to prevent those non-removeable black water stains.

  • Normal joint spacing of 37'6" versus the normal concrete joint spacing of 28' and 24' of other welded deck systems.

  • All fasteners on decking system are concealed. Avoids hole elongation of bolt through design on aluminum plate deck because of expansion and contraction.

  • Will not rust unlike galvanized steel plate decks.
