Hello,

I have a small greenhouse and find the commercially available staging
unsuitable & expensive. I want to design & build my own in order to
optimise
the available space. I am thinking of using aluminium tubing with with
nylon/plastic corner fittings for the frame, and wire or steel mesh
shelves.

Has anyone tried this? Any advice or suggestions? Any recommendations
for
suppliers?

Many Thanks

I tried this question on Rec.DIY because I thought they might have
some good answers based on lateral thinking but no one answered.

In terms of lateral ideas, I solved this problem extremely cheaply a
number of years ago (10 to 15 ?) whan a B& Q superstore was opened in
Edinburgh. They had in stock long plastic covered wire shelves, like
dish racks; they were called 'laundry shelves' and have been ideal
just suspended from the roof members with stout wire and hinged off
the wall struts. Has anyone seen anything like these recently as they
are no longer stocked as I could well do with a couple more ?

Having trawled through this thread I really don't see anyone
suggesting anything as cheap, totally effective and as flexible as
this.

You won't believe this but I have done just the same this afternoon.
I got the shelf racks at B&Q as they were reduced to £1 each.

I've got some where to put my new bedding plants etc now.
