![complete-bleachers-country-day-school](https://blog.sportsystemscanada.com/hs-fs/hubfs/complete-bleachers-country-day-school.jpg?width=800&height=432&name=complete-bleachers-country-day-school.jpg)

When it comes to designing your new bleacher system, the process should be filled with excitement and anticipation. Envisioning the roar of the crowd and the energy of the game can be thrilling as you plan this new project for your school or athletic facility. While the process may seem daunting at first, with the right guidance and support, it can be an enjoyable and rewarding experience.

As North America’s leader in [bleacher systems](https://www.sportsystemscanada.com/bleachers/outdoor-bleachers/) for over 40 years, we have a proven track record of designing, manufacturing, and upgrading beautiful aluminum outdoor bleachers. We understand that each facility has unique needs and preferences, which is why we offer a wide range of customization options to add flair, function, and aesthetic appeal to your new bleacher build.

We work closely with key stakeholders from various organizations to ensure that our bleacher systems meet their specific requirements. Many of our most popular upgrades were actually suggestions from our valued customers. By listening to their feedback and incorporating their ideas, we have been able to perfect our processes and offer a wide range of customization options on almost every bleacher that leaves our factory.

Here is a list of some of the most sought-after upgrades that our clients have chosen in recent years:

**Vertical Pickets:**

Vertical pickets provide a classier look compared to chain-link fences. They enhance the overall aesthetic of the bleachers and add a touch of sophistication to the sports field or stadium.

**Front Façade:**

A front façade gives a finished look to the bleachers, similar to what is seen at Carleton University. It not only improves the visual appeal but also serves a practical purpose by preventing stray balls and wandering children from going under the front of the bleachers, enhancing safety and security.

**Fully Closed Deck:**

A fully closed deck adds strength to the floor planking, making the bleachers more durable and long-lasting. It eliminates the need for cleaning under the bleachers, reducing maintenance efforts and keeping the area beneath the bleachers tidy and free of debris. Additionally, it prevents items like phones and tablets from accidentally falling under the bleachers, providing peace of mind to spectators.

**Back Rests:**

Adding backrests to bleachers significantly improves the comfort of spectators, especially during long games or events. Backrests provide support, allowing spectators to sit in a more relaxed and comfortable position for extended periods, enhancing their overall experience.

**VIP Folding Seats:**

For those paying spectators who demand extra comfort, VIP folding seats can be a great addition. These seats offer enhanced cushioning, armrests, and cup holders, providing a premium seating experience for special guests, donors, or sponsors.

**Drink Rails:**

Take advantage of the current spectator's desire for more open space and areas to socialize, with easily accessible places to rest their drinks.
