Post by: Amazin on February 03, 2008, 20:40:54: Normie, you're a star! I think I've just ordered 4...

Each one's a twin pack, i.e. two sets of 4 shelves, right?

Yup, I've ordered it twice.

How many (full) seed trays do you think each one can hold?

2 per shelf lengthways = 8

3 per shelf widthways = 12

The shelves aren't as deep as a seed tray's length, though, so some overhang.

Post by: Amazin on February 05, 2008, 21:25:26: Becky, looks like you're right. Why not try going into your local store and searching for it on their stock machines? The catalogue number is:
720/1424 Greenhouse Staging (Twin Pack)

Post by: tomatoada on February 05, 2008, 21:48:44: Does anyone know if the covers at wilcos will fit these shelves by any chance?
Title: Re: Argos: Greenhouse "staging"
Post by: Amazin on February 05, 2008, 22:44:33: No, the staging is longer and narrower than the shelving in the mini Gs
Title: Re: Argos: Greenhouse "staging"
Post by: beckydore on February 06, 2008, 13:32:34: I went into the Solihull town centre store earlier and picked up the last one from there. There are none at Solihull Sears retail park.

Birmingham - apparantly there were 1 or 2 in Kings Heath, Small Heath, Stetchford, Pallasades. From the screen it looked like there were 12 in one of the city centre ones.

I think there were also a couple showing in Coventry.

On people asking about covers going over them - 3 shelf covered ones in Poundstretcher for £9.99.l
