Tiers Added to Greenhouse Bench
 
Have been wanting to do this for awhile, since I had them in the old greenhouse. Not only do the tiers help to display the flowers better, they actually open up bench space!

Gorgeous! What a display! And I love the cute little yellow Dendrobium hanging above all the plants, and I like what you did with hanging your Tolumnia's! I may have t steal that idea!

Beautiful, so colourful. And is a staghorn fern at back, it is huge. Love how you have it mounted.

What wonderful orchids! Makes me just itch to get my own greenhouse one day! We rent. :(

Very nice - I have done a similar thing with outside shelving for summer displays of plants in flower - but in wood. I suppose in the green house one could use those shelves they sell for stacking canned food so you can see whats at the back of the cupboard..

where did you get those benches? they look sturdy.

Bayard 03-09-2011 08:32 PM

Got the materials from Greenhouse Kits, Garden Centers, Hobby, Commercial and Aluminum Greenhouses from Growers Supply

I couldn't find 30 inch benches pre-made, so I used their 1.5 inch galvanized square rectangle conduit and fittings.

The bench tops are the 13 gauge galvanized. All were cut with a metal cutting circular saw blade. Just be aware that they will be quite heavy!

Here's a shot of a completed bench:
