Yellow Pine Bleacher Boards And How They Are Found

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 Southron is home to a group of pines that are called by a collective name. Southern yellow pine bleacher boards are made from trees like these, which grow from west in Texas and right up east to Virginia state. These are different pine species that grow on the red clay found in much of the South, including specie like the shortleaf, longleaf, slash and Loblolly pines.

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.

Seats are best made from fine grained pine wood, and it has a well deserved reputation for being strong, good looking and durable for people like furniture makers and the like. Hardwood is much stronger, but when done properly it will probably last very long out in the open. A new bleacher installation made of pine built now may probably still be there for another generation.

Climate concerns notwithstanding, Southern yellow pine bleachers cannot be found just anywhere. The best thing to do is contact a reputable outfit producing the boards in question. Plus, you can make do with all pine products produced in other states for bleachers, and this will include ponderosas and Jeffrey pines found in the mountainous western parts of the nation.

Every day, bleachers crack and get broken, and those unfortunate enough might experience this happening on that important game. Schools, for instance, might do well to check out their bleachers long before the season starts so they can replace weakened boards. These might or might not be made from pine, but if they are, they will need that manufacturer of the genuine article.

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.

Your company may be located somewhere distant and inconvenient, but the thing is to have a local builder doing your bleacher project. These manufacturers may have great delivery services, and if your order is large enough, may offer some good discounts. The boards can be used in other ways, and their quality should be considered for other uses.

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.
