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 |

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. Mike -- .................................... I'm an Angel, honest !

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. -- Janet Tweedy |

Look for greenhouse staging, not tables. Thanks Janet, it will help to search for the right term! |

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. |
