Sports facilities can have intense amounts of pedestrian traffic, so suitable stair systems for these properties will be critical. The best stairs for sports venues must be sturdy and capable of handling various weather conditions. Our professionals at REDD Team can help you create new stairs for whatever sporting venues you operate.
What Should Go Into Sporting Venue Stairs?
The stairs at your sports venue should include several important features:
- The stairs should be wide enough to handle enough people going in both directions.
- There should be enough handrails around the entire stair surface. In addition to rails on the sides, you can include another rail in the middle to divide up and down traffic.
- Each stairwell should include platforms that are wide enough to handle multiple people. There should be enough turning radius to allow people to move between surfaces safely.
- You’ll also require a strong metal material to handle all the weight your stairs will likely encounter.
- Weather conditions can change at any point at your venue. An outdoor venue can experience hot and cold conditions, while an indoor venue could see some changes depending on the climate requirements for a sport, especially if ice sports are involved. Your stairs should be capable of managing all these sudden changes.
Aluminum Makes the Difference
Our sports facility stairs at REDD Team differ because we use aluminum for all projects. Aluminum is lighter than most other metals, but it remains one of the strongest in the industry.
The reasons why aluminum is perfect for these stairs are plentiful:
- Aluminum is easy to shape in different forms. We can create stairs in any layout or shape you prefer.
- Aluminum can also handle intense weights. Our OSHA-compliant aluminum stairs can handle at least five times the anticipated weight you expect to encounter.
- The metal also doesn’t rust or weaken over time, so it will last longer.
- The surface keeps the same shape in all conditions. It does not expand or contract like wood or other materials. This point is critical for outdoor sporting venues that might experience dramatic weather changes.
We Design the Best Stairs
You can trust us at REDD Team when preparing a new stair surface for your sports facility. We will review your space and identify a suitable plan for your stairs based on the following:
- The amount of room available in your venue
- The vantage point of the playing field where the stairs will lead
- The approximate amount of weight you expect your stairs to handle at a time
- Accessibility and safety points, including how the handrails and guards will work
Our team will prepare your stairs based on OSHA standards, including stairs wide enough to handle enough people going up and down, which is necessary for entering or leaving the venue, especially in emergency evacuation situations.
