Felton Industries’ new sheltered grandstands deliver safer, more inclusive and customisable spectator seating for schools and sporting clubs across Australia.
Felton Industries has launched its new Sunsafe Select and Sunsafe Comfort sheltered grandstand range, designed to lift comfort, safety, and inclusivity for spectators across Australian schools, clubs, and community venues.
The Sunsafe sheltered grandstands are engineered for all weather conditions and offer seating for up to 60 people, with protection from harsh UV rays and improved access. Enhancements include wider footwells, additional length options, and new accessibility configurations to better meet varied site and community needs.
“Inclusivity, structural integrity, and climate adaptability were central to the development of this range,” said Mr Simon Clayton, product marketing manager at Felton Industries.
“Our customers are increasingly looking for outdoor seating that both protects their communities from the elements and meets evolving safety and certification requirements. This range answers that need, with options to suit both standard and high-wind regions, plus flexible sizing and wheelchair accessibility.”
Available in four-metre and six-metre versions, the range now includes integrated guardrails for added structural integrity and user safety. The six-metre model features extended batten-style shelter supports and is bolt-fixed to the ground to resist high winds.
For regions with stricter compliance requirements – such as coastal Queensland and parts of Western Australia – Felton also offers an optional Wind C-certified version. All configurations are structurally certified, reflecting Felton’s emphasis on quality, compliance, and long-term performance in public spaces.
A key point of differentiation is the wheelchair-accessible configuration, which provides a dedicated cut-out space to accommodate wheelchair users without compromising comfort, visibility, or safety.
Across the range, marine-grade aluminium construction delivers a weather-resistant, low-maintenance, and rustproof solution suited to Australia’s diverse climates.
The grandstands have been engineered without structural poles embedded in the seating area, maximising usable space and spectator comfort. Wider footwells improve circulation, helping spectators enter and exit easily and reducing contact with the seat or knees of the person in front. A new stairwell option is also available on selected Comfort models to further enhance access where required.
Schools and clubs can align their seating with their identity via customisable frame, guardrail, and end cap colours, available in red, blue, green, yellow, orange, and purple. For safety and longevity, the seating planks remain uncoated (metallic silver standard).
Designed and manufactured in Australia, the range continues Felton Industries’ reputation for delivering safety, quality, and community value. Felton is ISO9001 accredited and an Approved Local Government Procurement Supplier, with more than 20 years supplying Australian-made premium aluminium outdoor furniture –including grandstands, tiered seating, bench seating, tables and chairs, shelters, bin enclosures, and change room furniture – for schools, parks, councils, clubs, and organisations nationwide.
