Greenhouse: Greenhouse Benches, 1 by oldmudhouse

We built ours too, but only the top slats were made from redwood. We ripped those slats from 2x6 redwood. The bench posts went into the ground so those were pressure treated pine, the rest was pine, fir, whatever we had (or whatever was cheap.) I stained it all with a redwood stain so it looked the same.

The shelving is the closet shelving from Lowes. It does sag with heavy pots, so we added a piece of wood to the front of the shelf to strengthen it, and added vertical posts to transfer the weight to the benches below, in addition to using shelf brackets mounted on the wall. Main downside I can see to this plan is my benches are not movable, so I really thought long and hard about the configuration! So far I love them.
