Beds in a greenhouse. Comparison of materials and prices
In order to work comfortably in the greenhouse, it is necessary to correctly and efficiently arrange the beds. Their design will give the greenhouse a well-groomed appearance, and when watering, weeding and other household chores, the soil will not lose its shape.Most often, gardeners make two beds on long sides, along the walls. Using the example of a 3x4 greenhouse, we will show you several options for beds made of different materials, calculate their cost for September 2021, and share our experience.
Galvanized beds
The most affordable way to design beds. They are easy to install, resistant to corrosion, but their appearance is quite ascetic.
The cost of galvanized borders for 2 beds is 80 €*
Cons: the maximum height is 17 cm, and for more comfortable work, we recommend beds higher. For example, with a bed height of 30 cm, you can take care of plants while sitting on a high chair.
