Default Greenhouse staging renewal

Was going to add this question to the other thread about greenhouses but
thought it ought to be in it's own and it's not strictly about
greenhouses.
I have an Alton 10 x 8 greenhouse about 26 years old.
Some of my staging I have had to take out as it's now rotten though
cedar and treated regularly. Trying to find some new staging that will
be strong enough to take much weight is proving really difficult. Do I
go for more cedar/wood or do I opt for aluminium. I know it's a wooden
greenhouse but just thought aluminium might be cheaper and less likely
to rot.

I want to put a hot 'tray' on the top which takes four full sized seed
trays and I would need another shelf underneath. So about 5 foot long.
Not very DIY minded though I could follow DIY plans if there were any
for free standing staging.

On the other side I have just bought a plunge bench with soil cable and
no filled with sharp sand but the legs seem a bit flimsy, though it's
taking the weight of four bags of sharp sand and some pots.

All advice gratefully received.
