well draining growing tables
 

Hi,

I'm looking for a UK or continental source for tables with drainage.
Basically a good candidate would be

http://www.aaagreenhouse.com/single_...er_display.htm

the "Grid top single level display." The purpose is for growing on
young trees in pots that range between seedlings to around 15 l. So the
tables have to be able to hold some weight, and I'm afraid if I just
drill holes in PVC tables it won't be strong enough. Material isn't
important (although price is since I need several) but they will be
watered so PVC is a good choice. The pot plants are mostly Acers so
drainage is super important.

I've tried looking for garden tables or greenhouse supplies but with no
luck.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

-E

If you know what you want and do a thumbnail sketch with dimensions, go to a
Window Replacement Company who make their own windows and see what they can
do. The ones I have seen being made have an aluminum box section for
strength.

Just an idea which I would use.

Rhino greenhouse are purported to have the strongest greenhouse and
benches so you could put a drilled thick heavy top on their staging?
They do show lots of bags of compost being stored on top of their
staging and my greenhouse from them is certainly a lot stronger than
some I know.

Don't think this would be any use for Emery. I have stopped using them since
their carriage charges to the Scottish Highlands have trebled!!!

Look for greenhouse staging, not tables.


Thanks Janet, it will help to search for the right term!

Good tip Phil, thanks. The stuff is quite dear as is... :(

Get a couple of Saw Horses, some 4x2 and some 3x1(or even tile battening) and some nails, cost about £35 for 3 metres of trestle. Put the saw horses about 2 metres apart.

I'd get a couple of sheets of reinforcing mesh cut or get it cut down
the length, get metal frames made with legs, paint , then cover with
wire netting to stop small plants falling through, cower with polythene
and there are your benches.
