How can I choose the best greenhouse shelves?
Greenhouse shelves are a key part of a fully functional greenhouse. A typical house will require several different types of greenhouse shelves, because different shelves are required for plant growing areas than necessary for work surfaces and general storage. When buying greenhouse shelves, the consumer should consider the materials from which shelves are constructed, whether the shelf system is mobile or permanently mounted and what function the shelves should serve.
The greenhouse shelves are generally constructed from both plastic metals. Plastic shelves have several advantages. It is impermeable for water, which is the main advantage in the greenhouse environment. Plastic shelves are also generally quite light, which makes installation and movement easier. Although modern plastic greenhouse racks are quite durable, it is not as strong as metal shelves, which is more suitable when load is needed.
SOLID-MEREGALS TAL are made of metal plates supported by the frame structure. Metal greenhouse shelves are also often inYrobeny from a wire or expanded metal. The wire shelves are designed by a welding durable metal wire in a solid cage and sometimes coated to withstand corrosion. The extended metal shelves are made of sheet metal, which has been extended or stretched in such a way that it has diamond -shaped holes in the leaf. It is then held in place with a metal frame. Metal shelves for expanding aluminum offer excellent balance between resistance to moisture, weight and force.
When selecting greenhouse shelves, consider the shelf function. Plants shelves should allow water drainage, so they should not be made of solid material in general. The side shelves, especially shelves that could double as a watering work area, should be solid. This offers the protection of stored materials under the greenhouse shelves and allows them to hold free ground.
If the greenhouse shelves are to be permanently mounted in the glassIt should be compatible with the framing material of the house. In general, if the greenhouse is made of plastic, the plastic shelves will be easiest to mount. The producers of some small greenhouses sell special shelves specially designed to work with their houses. If you work with a metal frame of the house, metal racks may be a better choice, often easier to install, as it is generally easier to safely attach metal to metal than metal on plastic.
