Greenhouse staging

[Acanthus]

Got the staging up yesterday, it's now full, and still have so much to plant today

I need to buy some more, which is easy to erect and dismantle. The one I have is many years old,and can't remember where I got it from,but it's just slot-together tubing with metal mesh shelves and was very cheap.
Anyone have any tips? I can't afford too much and don't want anything permanent

Thanks for any advice

I have two methods of staging in my greenhouse. I had one of those little mini growhouses with the plastic cover. The cover ripped a few years ago so I put it into the greenhouse to use as staging.

I also purchased brackets that attached the greenhouse frame and put them down both sides of the greenhouse. I then asked a builder for an old bit of perimeter fencing that he had thrown in the skip to make the actual shelves. Now when I come to put my tomato and pepper plants in the greenhouse, I simply remove the shelves and leave the brackets in place and they don't get in the way.

I use two carpenters saw horse's with 5 planks on. When I have finished with them the saw horse's fold flat for storage.

I use seed tray racks then when I don't need them to hold the seed trays the rack themselves get left in place and help support my cucumbers and toms.

Mine were made from metal secondary glazing window frames. Cut a window in half, along its length, turn them through a right angle and you have a long piece with two legs. Attach the two lengths together with more lengths of window frame - to whatever width you need, with some bracing bits at the corners. Mine were made to a width that fit exactly the large plastic trays. These drop onto the frame and are removed when tomatoes are growing underneath. If anyone is interested I'll take a photo, if you're not I won't! And no, I didn't make them, my husband did. I wouldn't know where to start!

I gave him the ideas and he put them into practice! Partnership! A second structure to this design was covered in chicken wire and became an extension to the chicken run. Now it is used to keep birds away from my seedlings.

Me and a mate knocked some staging up from old pallets last year. First year of using it so don't know how good it is yet. But it was free.

Lovely job there!

If you load it up with pots (like I do) you might find it sags and will need extra support.

Mine did and I added another set of legs in the middle
