EXCELLENT STAGING FOR GREENHOUSES
Polytunnel staging can make working inside incredibly easy. Staging for greenhouses involves constructing shelving inside the polytunnel so you can set up areas to work as well as place pots and seedlings at each stage of a plant’s development. In commercial-sized polytunnels, you can also use staging to display the plants and seedlings to show them off and make it easier for your customers to see what you have to offer. Polytunnel staging is one of the many ways you can optimise your polytunnel to grow plants and your business. This equipment also works perfectly as staging for greenhouses, why not try our wooden greenhouse staging and take it to a new level.

How do you stage a Polytunnel?
There are a few different ways you can stage a polytunnel. You can use full-length staging supports made from metal tubing and then place boards over these to give you a durable, flat surface to work on and display your plants. These can be added along the entire length of your polytunnel so you can effectively use every square inch of space.
If this doesn’t suit your needs, you can also set up trestle-style potting benches or individual staging supports. Call our experts on 01282 601253 for advice on the best way to stage your polytunnel.
What can I use polytunnel staging for?
Staging provides a raised surface for seed trays, pots and young plants, as well as a useful area for sowing seeds and potting on. It helps organise your growing space and keeps plants within easy reach for watering and checking.
Which type of staging should I choose?
Can I use your staging in a greenhouse?
Yes. Our range includes staging suitable for greenhouses as well as polytunnels. A freestanding potting table can provide a practical work surface without attaching to the greenhouse frame. Check the product dimensions against your available space before ordering.
Can I fold the staging away when it is not needed?
Our Trestle Potting Greenhouse Table folds away for easy storage. It can be assembled without tools or screws, making it convenient when you need extra space for seed trays in spring and want to reclaim the area later.
What size is your trestle potting table?
Our trestle table measures approximately 1.8m long, 0.53m deep and 0.77m high. The lower shelf sits approximately 27cm above the floor, providing additional storage beneath the main working surface.
Where should I position staging in my polytunnel?
Choose a position where plants receive suitable light and you can reach them easily. Leave enough room for walking, watering and moving trays, and keep doorways and ventilation openings clear. Allow for nearby crops growing taller or spreading during the season.
How do I clean and maintain polytunnel staging?
Remove loose compost, fallen leaves and plant debris regularly. Brush down the surfaces and wash them with warm water and a suitable mild detergent, then allow them to dry. Check supports, fixings and timber periodically, following any care instructions supplied with your staging.
