"Portable" Greenhouse benches

[nick the grief]

These can be used in the spring then packed away for the summer & are about 1/5th the price of the comercial ones!!!

No me neither, nor did 690 and I would genuinely like to know.

It seems they threw a wobbly. I've reloaded them if they still don't work I'll post them on my site & link to there.

Actually, the idea of th elegs came from a visit to the local Model Railway club, they used something similar & I thought - That would make a greenhouse bench

It's officially called "sharing of ideas" (or some other technical term!) methinks - or if you come from round here yep! pinching someone else's good idea! DDL

Looks like a good way of using pallet wood?

[Earthbabe]

Ah but have you got a foolproof not to mention splinterfree method of getting the wretched things apart. The ones we get are so well made they need blasting.

[nick the grief]

You need a nail remover Earthbabe. The nails they use on pallets usually have rings on them to help bite into the wood.

All my staging is built with ranalised roof laths by th etime you've taken a pallet apart you could have built it all !! & it won't rot in a rush.

Pallets are best used for compost bins I think.

I've never have much trouble really....bust up a few lats but not many! You can also re-use the nails if you have a good claw hammer. I normally dismember them with a 'mash' hammer (short shafted approx 4lb weight)

I can't really explain how I do it, it's a bit like trying to explain how to use your feet on the pedals when driving a car...I just do it! Bit like Luke Skywalker "Use the power of the force Luke"

A very useful commodity pallets!

Don't listen to them, Nicolas- you done good, son. I suppose yon are hinges at the top?

Berr.

There's a retired joiner on the next allotment to me who pounces on all the pallets that become available! He has two tressels stored behind my shed made from pallet wood. I imagine when his tomatoes are finished he'll drag them into his greenhouse and set up a propagation bench. Very knowledgable fellow Billy. Most of the stuff I learn on this site makes me say "Ahhh, thats why Billy does that!!"
