When it comes to increasing spectator capacity, improving fan experience, and creating a professional sports environment, modular grandstands have become the preferred solution for clubs, schools, universities, and event organisers across the UK.
Whether you manage a football club, rugby ground, athletics facility, school sports field, or outdoor event venue, investing in a custom grandstand can significantly enhance both the appearance and functionality of your facility.
At Artimex, we design and manufacture bespoke grandstands, offering flexible seating solutions tailored to the specific requirements of each project.

Why Modular Grandstands Are Growing in Popularity
Traditional stadium construction often requires substantial investment, lengthy construction periods, and limited flexibility. In contrast, modular grandstands provide a cost-effective and scalable alternative.
Modern modular systems offer numerous advantages:
Fast installation and commissioning
Flexible seating capacities
Expandable configurations
Lower construction costs
Reduced site disruption
Long service life
Easy relocation or expansion
As sports clubs continue to grow and spectator expectations increase, modular seating systems allow venues to adapt quickly without major infrastructure projects.
Custom Grandstands Designed Around Your Venue

Every sports ground is unique. Available space, spectator capacity, accessibility requirements, and future expansion plans all influence the design of a grandstand.
This is why Artimex specialises in custom grandstand design, creating structures tailored to each client's specific needs.
Our bespoke solutions can include:
Seating capacities from 20 to several thousand spectators
Covered grandstands with cantilever roof systems
Open-air spectator stands
Integrated wheelchair-accessible seating
VIP and hospitality areas
Press and media platforms
Custom branding and colour schemes
Stairways and access platforms
Safety barriers and handrails
Each project is engineered to maximise visibility, comfort, and operational efficiency.
Applications for Sports Clubs and Public Venues

Community sporting events
Athletics and Multi-Sport Facilities
Modular grandstands provide excellent viewing areas for athletics tracks, tennis facilities, cycling venues, and multi-purpose sports centres.

Covered Grandstands for Year-Round Comfort

The UK's weather can be unpredictable, making covered grandstands a highly popular option.
Roofed spectator stands provide protection from:
Rain
Wind
Excessive sunlight
In addition to improving spectator comfort, covered seating areas often encourage higher attendance and create a more professional venue appearance.
Artimex offers cantilever roof systems that provide unobstructed views without the need for front support columns, ensuring every spectator enjoys excellent sightlines.
Safety and Accessibility
Safety remains one of the most important considerations in grandstand design.
All Artimex grandstands are engineered using high-quality structural steel and durable seating systems designed for intensive public use.
Key features include:
Galvanised steel construction
Anti-slip walking surfaces
Safety handrails
Guardrails and perimeter protection
Accessible seating locations
Companion seating areas
Clearly defined access routes
Accessibility is integrated into every project, ensuring all spectators can enjoy sporting events comfortably and safely.
