TeeGee what is the height measurements between your shelves. i want to build some new staging and i am not sure what is the ideal height for light to get to the lower shelves.

OK, but that was just rubbing it in :P Until the back end of last year i had limited space to grow seeds. Now i have an allotment the world is my mollusc. Gave the old blokes a laugh on the allotment site as i had a pick and mix of potatoes.

Quotewhat is the height measurements between your shelves.

They are a modification of standard greenhouse staging.

My greenhouse is a 10' x 8' Alton timber greenhouse.

When I purchased it, it came with standard full length 32" high staging and 13" top shelves.

I added the bottom shelves using 4" x 1" laths.

The height was made to allow me to put 70 litre bags of compost under.

I get 6 bags under the shelving and I have two bags standing vertical.

To do this I did not fix a lower shelf under my potting area and this makes easy access to the bags.

The high shelf to the left sits on the upper standard 13" shelf and is propped off the standard staging. I have made this extended shelf with the sides of my grandchidrens cot once they had outgrown it.

My 6' x 2'-6"hot bed sits cross ways on the two standard staging sections.

The high level shelf above the hot bed sits on the high level 13" sections.

I hope that all makes sense here is a sketch of the sizes and if you look again at the pictures you might understand it all better.
