Removing Staging...

[bradlo]

Maybe a silly question ...but !
How many of you remove the staging in your greenhouse, in the summer, to make way for more pots/grow-bags etc?
My staging goes about 3/4 the length of one side of my 6 x 12 ....
Cheers.

I just remove the shelves and leave the framework in place - and use it as support for the tomatoes.

Keeping mine in, I'll be growing chillies & aubergines on mine, they like it a bit warmer apparently

This is the first year I've had any staging - home made of course. It'll have to go - greenhouse is only 6'x6' and I need the space!

Edit: If my greenhouse was the size of yours I'd probably leave it in.

I take my shelves out as well apart from one shelf that I grow chilli plants on.

Good idea VC...think I will probably do something similar!

Mine is across the end of the greenhouse so it stays in for chillies etc.

I don't have staging in the greenhouse but I do have it in the shed. In the GH, I use suspended shelving instead.

I have a wooden greenhouse with the staging affixed - so it would be a bit of a beast to keep removing it.

What I do with toms is to grow them in pots on the floor, and train them up behind the staging around twine. Then chillis and peppers get grown on the staging leaving a good foot at the back for the toms to breathe.

I also have shelving made from deck boards, sat on 2 shelf brackets - which are there all winter until the tomato twine gets put up, then the boards get taken across to the other side, and used on the non tomato side of the greenhouse, to house seedlings all summer. Then back again once the toms are taken down. The brackets obviously stay in position.

The plan is to remove the staging in the tunnel except for the bit at the end which is the potting bench with a bit of staging either side. We will see

my proper staging is coming out this summer, but i will leave the frame/shelves of a 4 tier blowaway in there because i'll still be sowing through the summer ....

[lottie dolly]

i leave them in,in all mine,i put chilles peppers and aubergines on the top and under,

The staging in my greenhouse is 4 or 5 lengths of metal fixed to the side with cantilever supports. I think it might have been a mistake because there are a million nuts and bolts to take out to remove it.

Does anyone else have this type and how do they manage it in the summer?

Exactly what I do, mainly as I've nowhere to put it once I take it out.
