Topic: The Bleachers


  
  Welcome to MARS Inc. - Manufacturers Applied Renovation System Inc. - Bleacherman
Many bleachers pose a significant fall hazard for children because they were built and installed where building codes did not require guardrails and allowed openings large enough for children to fall through them.
Install bleacher guardrails as a safety precaution and as an indication that the bleachers are fully extended.
When bleachers are used adjacent to a wall that is at least as high as the recommended guardrail height, the guardrail is not needed if a four-inch diameter sphere fails to pass between the bleachers and the wall.

 Welcome to MARS Inc. - Manufacturers Applied Renovation System Inc. - Bleacherman
Bleachers generally fit into one of four categories: permanent/stationary, portable/movable, telescopic/folding, and temporary (those stored in sections, erected for special events and then stored again).
While the frequency of bleacher inspections in your district will depend on how often your bleachers are used, the CPSC recommends at least quarterly inspections to identify any structural damage or degradation "that could compromise safety." Naturally, all problems should be corrected immediately and remedies documented.
Since bleacher maintenance can be somewhat specialized, it may be a good idea to have the vendor perform the maintenance and inspections.

Bleachers is a short tale about the lives of american football players who have been touched by their coach, even after his pupils stop playing the game.

Bleachers is a 'nice' enough tale, but I feel it lacks any substance and the desire to turn the next page.

 McCook Daily Gazette: Story: Fairboard issues ultimatum on bleachers
In the ongoing saga of the bleachers in the Kiplinger Arena on the Red Willow County fairgrounds in McCook, the county's fair board has given the manufacturer of the bleachers 15 days to prove to McCook City Manager John Bingham and City Building Inspector Doyle Wineland that the bleachers comply with Nebraska building codes.
The bleachers were built by the D.G.J.D. Co., owned by Gordon Maatsch of Jefferson, Colo. The bleachers were purchased in October, 2003, for $15,500, which was a low bid when fair board members were shopping for bleachers for the arena.
Bingham has said in the past that if the bleachers were to fail due to code non-compliance, he and Wineland could face personal fines and imprisonment, and that the county and city could be sued for damages.

 Bleachers Sports Bar - 118 Preble Street, Portland, Maine
t was a perfect Bleachers day (if only we'd had a beach ball) when we plopped ourselves on the outside deck to enjoy some sun, food, and microbrew beer.
It was just like being at a ballgame…only without the game…and the huge crowds, and… well, it wasn't really like a ballgame other than that we were out in the sun drinking beer.
At Bleachers, we were pleasantly surprised to find a varied menu, even for the finicky vegetarians among us, and the cheap prices weren't reflected in the quality of the food.

 Murphy's Bleachers Review by Sean Parnell
Murphy's Bleachers is located across the street from the entrance to the Wrigley Field bleacher section, at the corner of Sheffield and Waveland Avenues.
Previously, the place was a dive bar known as "Ray's Bleacher's," which was opened by Ray Meyer in 1965 and became renowned as the ancestral home of the original "Bleacher Bums" who mysteriously surfaced during the Cub's race for the pennant in 1969 and disappeared the next year when the Cubs tanked early.
Prior to that, the establishment was known for a short time as "JB's Bleachers," and a drive up hot dog stand-turned-tavern named "Ernie's Bleacher's" that sold beer by the pail in the 1930's (ah, the good old days).

It is true that "bleachers" is a distinctively American coinage, and I, for one, am proud of it.
"Bleachers" are usually defined as a roofless set of benches for the seating of spectators at sporting events.
For the benefit of anyone out there who has truly never seen "bleachers," they're probably best described as a framework of long benches set at escalating heights, like an enormous set of stair steps.
