Dura-Bench Original Greenhouse Bench Top is Designed to replace traditional wood, metal and wire bench top, Dura-Bench offers a tougher, longer lasting growing surface while eliminating problems associated with other bench top materials.

Dura-Bench plastic bench top is engineered to replace wood, wire, and expanded metal on greenhouse benches. The 2’x4’ (8 sq.ft) non-porous polypropylene plastic panel is designed with 1.1” x 1.1” square holes for easy cleaning, and is engineered to interconnect with other Dura-Bench panels to create a smooth, flat bench surface. The Dura-Bench is durable, smooth, non-porous, and allows trays, flats, and pots to slide across the surface without snagging. The panels will not rot, crack, or splinter like wood products; and it will not corrode, rust or have sharp edges like expanded metal or wire tops. Dura-Bench is peak load tested at 630 lbs. and will not dent or warp. Attaching the Dura-Bench to metal, wood, or a pipe substructure is fast, and easy using #10 stainless steel screws. With countersunk pre-molded holes, the screws pull down and hold the panels from moving on the bench top.


NON-OVERLAP DESIGN


The Dura-Bench Non-Overlap design is 2’ wide by 4’ long with interlocking tabs running along the 4’ side. The Non-Overlap design is primarily used in 4’ wide benches where no connection is made on the 2’ side of the panel.

Weight: 6.32 lbs. (2.87kg)


OVERLAP DESIGN

The Overlap design interlocks on all four (4) sides of the panel allowing any combination of bench sizes to be designed and fabricated. The flexible design allows for 1’ wide to 8’ wide benches. The Overlap design is 2’ wide by 4’ long with interlocking tabs running along the 4’ side, and uses an overlap connection along the 2’ side of the panel. The Overlap design allows two panels to be connected on the 2’ side while utilizing only one cross support for the two panels. This is most common for 2’, 3’, 5’, 6’ and 8’ bench widths.
