Building Shelves in the Greenhouse
In the Greenhouse Build Series, the focus shifts to constructing shelves and benches for the greenhouse. These shelves are built using framing lumber and are attached to cedar stud walls. They are designed to have flexibility, being easy to build, mount, remove, and reposition. Additionally, the shelves are topped with a heavy wire grid allowing for drainage and light penetration.
Shelves made of framing lumber
The shelves in the greenhouse are crafted using framing lumber. This material provides a sturdy base that can withstand the weight of plants and pots.
Attached to cedar stud walls
These shelves are attached securely to cedar stud walls in the greenhouse. The connection ensures stability and support for whatever is placed on the shelves.
Easy to build, mount, remove, and reposition
The design of the shelves allows for straightforward assembly, installation, removal, and repositioning. This feature adds versatility to the greenhouse layout.
Topped with heavy wire grid for drainage and light penetration
To enhance functionality, the shelves are topped with a heavy wire grid. This grid serves multiple purposes, enabling proper drainage of water from pots and allowing sufficient light to penetrate through to the plants.

Installation of Shelving
The process of installing shelving in the greenhouse is described, highlighting key features and methods used for stability and functionality.
Design allows for easy installation and removal without legs

Supported by wall studs
The shelves are firmly supported by wall studs, ensuring a secure attachment that can withstand the weight of plants and pots.
Made from standard SPF kiln-dried framing lumber
Standard SPF (Spruce-Pine-Fir) kiln-dried framing lumber is used to construct the shelving. This material provides strength and durability for long-lasting use.
Wire mesh grids for water drainage and light penetration
To facilitate proper drainage and light passage, wire mesh grids are incorporated into the design of the shelves. This feature ensures that the plants receive adequate water and light for optimum growth.
Brackets attached to studs using lag bolts
To secure the shelves to the wall studs, brackets are attached using lag bolts. This heavy-duty fastening method ensures stability and support for the shelving units.
Future Plans for Shelves
Plans for expanding and enhancing the shelves in the greenhouse are outlined, including upcoming episodes covering various aspects of greenhouse construction.
Additional shelves planned for East wall
Future plans involve adding more shelves to the East wall of the greenhouse. This expansion will provide additional space for plant storage and organization.
