Green House Staging

Greenhouse staging in aluminum offers several advantages over other materials. For starters it is portable. It is also robust, able to withstand varied weather conditions. Aluminum is also waterproof. These elements make it a worthy investment and one that will last long.

Tier Models

These aluminum units are set up in different ways. There are single, double and triple tier models to choose from. These models also come in different sizes and various accessories can be added. These accessories include tray racks and foot plates.

Single Tier Units

The single tier units are about 81cm (32″) high. The length usually ranges from 59cm (2″) to 343cm (11′2″). The depth of these units also varies from 46cm (18″) and 91cm (26″).

The size variety will depend on the manufacturer too. A natural aluminum finish is recommended so it will be lightweight and durable.

These single tray units are equipped with lift out trays. For safety reasons, it is be best to go for the double folded and safety edged types. If you want to harden the plants, look for staging units with removable trays.

Double Tier Units

The two tier units are ideal for those who need additional working space. Their sizes may range from 46cm/18″ to 91cm /36 (width) and 59cm/2″ to 3.4m/11′2″ (lengths). The two tier units will provide more room for the trays.

This type of greenhouse staging in aluminum is also made for carrying heavy loads. Trays and slats may also be fitted on the staging unit. Aluminum trays for double tier units can give more working space. For good air circulation you can use 5.5cm wide (2″) aluminum slats.

Triple Tier Units

The triple or three tier aluminum units are best for those with limited greenhouse space. These are about 122cm/48″ high and ideal for both professionals and hobbyists. You can get the most value by getting units made with non-corrosive aluminum.

Like the single and two tier units, there are trays and slats available for these units. The slats are particularly useful for cultivating plants on the trays.

Accessories and Paraphernalia

Seed tray racks allow you to store several seed trays. This will allow you to grow plants even if the greenhouse is full. With their covers, they can function as mini-greenhouses.

Tip: only get aluminum racks; the steel types are of an inferior quality. Most of the racks are available in three to four tier set ups.

Shelving will also provide more space for the greenhouse. There are also heavy duty staging units you can buy. Staging foot plates will prevent the staging units from sinking on soft surfaces.

They can also be used on surfaces that are uneven (gravel, for example). If you have a large staging unit on uneven grounds, these foot plates could be important.

If you are buying greenhouse staging in aluminum, it is best to do it online. You get a varied selection plus discounts are common. You need to think of your requirements thoroughly though, so you can get the right sized unit.
