I have just added new shelving to my greenhouse that I am very happy with. Bought it at Lowe's for approx. $25. per unit. Each unit has five shelves made of plastic with pvc piping as the riser poles. Each shelf is 18 inches high but you can alter heights by using 1 1/2 inch piping to do so or using connectors with the piping supplied with the unit.'. I have made some units with spaces of 36 inches to accommodate outside planters that I am overwintering. Shelves are 18 inches wide and four foot long. Each unit is made to interlock with each other for added strength.

These units will last forever and allow light through as much as possible. I think this is going to work out well for me. On the unit closest to my door, I just used two shelves and made a nice work bench just the right height. bob
