Greenhouse shelving/staging

scottishminnie

I've been fortunate enough to be given a very good condition 8x6 greenhouse. The base will be ready this weekend and I should be ready to go very soon. I'm planning to use one side for grow bags for my tomatoes etc and though it would be sensible to have shelving on the other side.
Where is the best place to buy freestanding shelving -either online or in store? I will admit to having a real aversion to Dobbies however that is the only place I won't consider.

I'm a complete novice on the greenhouse front but was thinking a bench type arrangement with a single shelf above would probably be sufficient however I'm open to advice and comments from more experienced gardeners.

The greenhouse was free so don't mind spending a bit on the shelving.

Thanks

I've got a hexagonal greenhouse so shelving a bit different but I have in my 4.5 m2 two shelves above each over on one side and one jumbo freestanding staging unit with a tray with a selfwatering type mat on top. The shelve below is excellent for pots and other bits of storage and the mat keeps the plants watered got it from Harrolds if you search for Self Watering Tray Kits you will find the tray.

I should say I don't have a shed so use greenhouse for storage. Love mine and although I've spent a lot on it I can grow everything from seed and so early as well.

I have this one it folds down so it easy to store away when not in use

I've got a couple of old kitchen units and the old worktop on top of them. Cost ....... Nothing.

Thanks for the suggestions guys - will have a look at those.


I do receive the Harrold catalogue however I usually bin it immediately to avoid temptation so will pay attention to the next one


Tallgirl - I drive past a garden with a hexagonal greenhouse and I've lusted after it for years. Mine is just a plain rectangle but when it's free I guess I can't complain!


Sailorsam- I did ask hubby if he could construct me something from all the spare wood/steel etc he has in his workshop to save cash however he has plans for it all apparently. Hmmm.....
