Time to start the benches!

They're on order. I have three 6' x 24' rolling benches which should arrive within the next week, if they are on schedule.

What are rolling benches?

What are rolling benches?

The polycarbonate is available in 4ft wide and 6ft wide sheets, but the 6 ft. width had to be special ordered and was more expensive per square foot. For this reason, the trusses were set on two foot intervals to support the 4 foot wide polycarbonate.

Rolling benches have tops that roll sideways across the support frame. The advantage of these benches is that they maximize your bench space by requiring only one walkway between benches that shifts as you roll the bench.

Don't think that'll work for me. Julie's has a black belt in Tae Kwon Doe.

Oh, in that case, they're great for blocking while running away from irate wives!

I hoping the greenhouse will replace the "dog house" for me. I can set up a cot in the corner and.............

I love rolling benches.

They do seem to increase the bench space tremendously compared to fixed benches. Knowing I was limited in area, I chose to spend the extra money on rolling benches. These have wire tops as opposed to rolled metal, which makes them about $900 less.

Bloody awesome, the whole deal; rolling benches...looks like the perfect dog house to me. Maybe you can get a cot and a little fridge for it just in case. :rollhappy:

 

[likespaphs]

lookin' groovy!
just remember to keep the weight on the benches balanced....

 

[Ross]

Project will be on hold for a few days while we wait for the polycarbonate to be delivered.

Thanks for the info and pic of rolling benches! What a great idea to get more space!

 

[Mrs. Paph]

Rolling benches really are great! I bet you were like a kid in a candy store designing this greenhouse! But at some point you remember you're an adult and you're paying for it, but still fun!

 

[NYEric]

Put a couple of cots, a grill, and a TV and we could both stay there!
