- Non-Overlap version is used primarily on 4′ wide benches – the 4′ length lays down going across the width of the bench
- Substructure frame can be made from metal, wood, or pipe
- Substructure frame cross supports are placed on incremental intervals of 16″ or 24″ centers based on the weight of the plants per sq foot
REPLACES

Most greenhouse bench manufacturers and those in current use have outside dimensions, for example, of 2, 4, 5, 6 ft and have raised edges such as welded wire and expanded metal are sized smaller to fit inside the bench. THE DURA BENCH PRODUCTS ARE EXACTLY 2 FT X 4 FT SECTIONS. We offer ready made benches designed for the Dura Bench, meaning that the bench holds the 2 x 4 ft insert and is slightly larger to accommodate the product.
