FINALLY decided on a permanent orchid set up
 

Picture this

1 unit of aluminum shelving (24 inches deep, 44 inches wide, 3 shelves)

In between,

Two 24 inch deep, 45 inch wide stainless steel potting benches. This particular model of potting bench has a 24 inch deep 31 inch high table, then it has a second level that is 9 inches wide and 45 inches long. It is approximately 14 inches higher than the main table. I plan to put smaller orchids on there so that they aren't overpowered by the big ones.

1 unit of aluminum shelving (see above).

I plan to run an aluminet shadecloth from one shelving unit to the other, so as to cover the orchids that are going to be on the potting bench.

I have to order the second shelving unit, and just ordered the potting benches.

So, ob'ers, how does that sound?

sounds like a plan! show us some pics when you get it set up! I am sure your orchids will love it, I love to see your pics, you have some great plants!

Yes, show us some pictures. I might "steal" this idea from you.
