Greenhouse staging, shelving and potting benches
Staging lifts seed trays and pots to a height where you can work without bending, and where they get more light. In spring you need far more surface than floor space, so shelving pays for itself. Later in the year you clear one side for tomatoes in growbags.

What to look for
- Put staging on the side that gets less sun, and keep the sunny side for tall crops in summer.
- Slatted or mesh shelves let water drain and air move around the pots.
- Measure the gap between the door and the frame before you buy. Wide units do not always fit through.
