10 Things to Consider From HOVE International When Buying Benches

1. Size and shape of the rooms: try to avoid long and narrow rooms

2. Small rooms will leave you with too much unused surface; try to make them 750 square feet or larger

3. Vegetable rooms can be smaller, when you go double or triple tier

4. Know your pot sizes, plant sizes, plant spacing, and height of the plants

5. Watering of the plants: ebb and flow, drip irrigation, hand watering, or other ways

6. Inside your bench: plastic liners, steel mesh, gutters

7. Available height of the greenhouse/warehouse ceiling, light fixtures, plant and working height will give you a bench height

8. Width of the walkways between and around benches, use of cart or trolleys and their sizes

9. Regulations: fire department, emergency doors, and routes

10. Efficiency: Every unused square foot that is heated, cooled, and lit is a waste of money
