By now, the fans have gone indoors to cheer on basketball and the outdoor bleachers are left empty in the cold of winter. The first official day of winter (Friday December 21st!) brings with it new concerns for your outdoor bleachers come spring. With freezing temperatures comes expansion and contraction of your aluminum causing hardware to loosen.
Bottom Line: Even if you got an Outdoor Bleacher inspection and completed preventative maintenance in the fall, you’ll want to check it again in the spring when the weather turns warm again, including tightening all of your hardware.
And just for fun, check out some Winter Solstice Facts including:
- Why do we have solstices?
