Plant/pot shelf source (from Lowes)

[ThunderSRQ]

I was wondering if there are any other good options for outdoor (plastic) plant shelves -- I have been looking around and, so far, the only type I've found are made by US Fence (it's their "Powershelf" merchandising system -- I saw them in use at the Lowes garden center and contacted the manufacturer but there's no distributor anywhere near me).

Although the type I found do look very good (very sturdy black plastic grid and lots of sizes/configurations), I would have to order them directly from Ohio and the shipping cost adds about 30% to the cost for what I want.

Anyone else have a better/closer/retail source for good, quality plant/pot shelves? (and, if anyone wants specific info. on the shelf units I found, please let me know -- I didn't find any web site link but I can fax info. from the catalog I have).

Thanks...

Under my shade cloth area, I simply use cinder blocks and weather/insect treated 2x12's. Been working great for over a year and easy to move/replace at will.

I have never ordered because we have a supply house 5 min from here but try www.growerssupply.com

Did some searching from past threads and found a source that might be helpful.

Wow -- thanks so much for those links!  I'll check into how the pricing compares but the "Structural Plastics" units look very similar to the US Fence products (and that Grower's Supply site has lots of great stuff -- awesome resource!).  

As an FYI, the unit I was thinking would be best for my needs is a 4' long, 3-step version and it costs $105.35 (before tax & shipping) direct from US Fence (small enough to be very portable and fit where I want it but in a 3-tier configuration to maximize the holding capacity).  I'm going to see what this exact unit costs from these two sources -- if I had more linear space and didn't need to stack things up, I'd do the cinder block & wood set-up as that really makes sense, as well.

Thanks again...
