I have some staging (76 cm wide) which came to me secondhand with ill fitting wooden slats.
I am looking to replace these with aluminium slats or trays and can't seem to find any suppliers except Two Wests made to order which will cost a fortune for the 30 ft length required.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Chris.

Replacement aluminium slats for staging?
Joined Havering branch 2006, although have been growing on and off since the age of ten!
Have a large balanced collection of both cacti and succulents but enjoy growing cristate, monstrose and generally anything a bit weird!

There's some of these on EBAY, but they are steel.

Most greenhouse trays now seem to be plastic.

Aluminium trays are likely to be expensive though

I found this place useful when I built my greenhouse. https://www.aluminiumwarehouse.co.uk/

Throw up a photo Kid.
I wouldn't discount wood as a possibility.

Hi,
We bought this staging last year and it's been excellent.

It comes as self assembly so you could use slats for your old one. It's very robust and has not rusted. We thought it good VFM.
