Grow Room Shelving ID Request

Hey everyone, I'm planning out the shelving for my 8x8 fruiting room and came across this image.

Any idea where to get my hands on these shelves? So far my searches haven't turned them up. I'm interested in the design as they look effective and easy to clean. I'm also considering the classic wheeled wire racks or metal framing studs and conduit DIY option. Other recommendations are appreciated too!

That looks like the green epoxy wire shelving. They're great but expensive. I just ended up buying a bunch of the black powder coated wire shelving from Walmart. Still expensive but not as bad as the epoxy. They chip off and rust after a few years but it's no big deal
Between colonization and fruiting I have quite a bit of money in wire racks but I don't regret it a bit. Having shelving that rolls is very convenient. I'd rather go in debt buying rolling racks than building them out of 2x4 and conduit. Sounds like a real pain in the ass to keep clean and deal with

Thanks, I'm loving the wire racks for colonization and I'm leaning towards using them for fruiting as well. The larger bars on the shelves pictured, as opposed to the high gauge wires, look easier to clean though. If I can't source them, it'll just be a wishlist item for the future.

You can get them from uline or a restaurant supplier. They're pricey but hold up well. All wire shelves are hard to clean. I just accept it as part of the job

I feel like conduit is easier to clean. If I had a bunch of wire racks I'd invest in a power washer.

Do you mean regular wire shelving or the ones that I have pictured? I have a lot of wire shelving in my production already; I'm specifically trying to source the shelving pictured in the OP. It has five parallel bars per level rather than dozens of thinner wires. If they sell it on Uline, can you provide a link? Thanks!

Totally, I feel the same way. I have the standard wire racks in my smaller tent right now and to scrub them to the point where I'm confident that they're actually clean is very time consuming. It seems like the major pro of the racks over conduit shelving is mobility, though, so I'll have to pick my poison if I can't find another solution.
