Pressure Treated Wood Shelving
    #23568187 - 08/23/16 05:41 AM (7 years, 5 months ago)

For my grow room, I am trying to find the best, most inexpensive way for my shelving, I plan to have it at least 2 foot wide for my 5-6 lb blocks to grow one behind the other.  I don't have a welder nor know one, so I wanted to see if anyone knows if there will be any contamination issues with this?  All shelves I find on commercial grows are with metal shelving, probably because of the convenience I assume, but I Wanted to make sure that's all that it was.

I know that pressure treated wood does just fine in a garden.  Just wanted to see if anyone had any negatives with this

Use galvanized conduit. You can use pressure treated wood for the uprights if you dont have access to a welder.

Are you suggesting welding the conduit?

Just drill holes in wood and run conduit through them. Maybe like an A frame?

why not?

my shelves are pairs of 1/2" conduit with supports in the middle.  The uprights are metal studs for drywall.  It's not structural materials but so far it works and doesn't rust after a couple years.  If you wanted to go beefier you could use wooden uprights and cross bracing with conduit.  The wood may only last a couple years tho.  and you'll never get certified organic with the treated wood tho.

That was supposed to say just drill holes in wood. For some reason I thought he wasn't wanting to weld. Metal or plastic would be best.

Yeah I don't have access to a welder anywhere.  I also definitely want to be certified organic down the road, as all of my materials I use will be.  How much roughly did those shelves run you to make?  Commercial beams are a good idea for supports, I can run galvy pipe across any support and secure them in some manner.  That's a pretty impressive room there, how long you been growing?

Your pictures always make me pine for the day when I can do something like that. Your fruiting chamber is more than half the size of my current house, lol.

Yea i welded some 1" conduit for the uprights and cross beams, 1" conduit is 2x as much as 1/2" but like 4x stronger FYI. Conduit cost me like $400 for the entire chamber, fits around 400 5 lb bags total

I use old shelves from a closed down target - they were $100.00 each and can hold 128 5lb blocks and they are epoxy coated so they will never rust or wear down in any way. find some stores closing down somewhere and ask for their backroom shelving.

Yeah I can build cheaper than that, thank you though.  I really like the idea you have their Grower, I think that's pretty much what I'm going after, just will have to build the posts since I don't have a welder.
