Often regarded as the ornamental
flower garden, kitchen garden or vegetable patch nerve centre, the
greenhouse can easily get cluttered, disorganised and generally
become a mess without the provision of greenhouse
staging – and that
kind of chaos is bad news for gardeners but good news for
pests!
Greenhouse staging gives you the
space – both storage and growing – to keep the
greenhouse in a tidy and ordered state; and a clean, organised
greenhouse is not the kind of place the vast majority of garden
pests will want to hang
out. But before you invest in a set of greenhouse staging, how do
you know it’s going to do the job?
Horror stories of greenhouse
staging collapsing or leaning over precariously, Tower of
Pisa-like, when stocked full of seedlings and equipment abound at
allotments and kitchen gardens across the country. There are plenty
of weak, poorly designed and manufactured low budget greenhouse
staging units on the market but if you want to avoid a costly
staging-based disaster then there’s only one place to
shop!
We’ve spent a great deal of
time researching the greenhouse staging market, and about the same
duration in thoroughly testing our design. Our greenhouse staging
has been put through its paces at Stephanie’s
Kitchen Garden and
although our customers were more than satisfied with the build
quality and strength of our staging units, there was one
outstanding question we still hadn’t answered – what
weight will it hold?
Perhaps it’s not key to a
successful unit – our customers would probably place
strength, value for money, rigidity and ease of assembly above
load-bearing on any staging attribute tick list – we thought
we’d find out, and the result of our testing was
amazing!
We plucked one of our two-tier,
173cm (5’8”) greenhouse staging units off the shelf,
put it together and started to load it up with bags of compost.
Two bags per module (the 173cm long unit consists of three modules)
became three, then the lower tier came into play until finally...we
ran out of compost! But that’s not before we calculated that
each module was supporting a heavyweight 77kg of compost, far in
excess of any ‘normal’ greenhouse load.
When you admire this impressive
feat of staging strength, and throw in the other high specification
details below, it’s not hard to understand that we’re
justifiably proud of our greenhouse staging – and, as we
said, if you want an incredibly strong yet lightweight, durable,
anti-corrosive, reassuringly rigid, top quality staging unit for
your greenhouse, then you’ve come to the right
place!
