Southwest Agri-Plastics announces its newest product line, Dura-Bench Ultra Greenhouse Bench Top. Designed to replace traditional wood, metal and wire bench top, Dura-Bench Ultra offers a tougher, longer lasting growing surface while eliminating problems associated with other bench top materials.

The new Dura-Bench Ultra plastic bench top is engineered to replace wood, wire, and expanded metal on greenhouse benches. The 2’x4’ (8 sq.ft, nominal) non-porous polypropylene plastic panel is designed with 1.1” x 2.1” rectangular holes for easy cleaning, and is engineered to interconnect with other Dura-Bench Ultra panels with nylon clips to create a smooth, flat bench surface. The Dura-Bench Ultra 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. Attaching the Dura-Bench Ultra to metal, wood, or a pipe substructure is fast, and easy using stainless steel screws. With (2) pre-molded plastic rails the length of the part, the part can easily be screwed to supports where needed to fasten the top securely to its frame.

DURA-BENCH ULTRA DESIGN

The Dura-Bench Ultra design connects 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 Dura-Bench Ultra design is 2’ wide by 4’ long with (4) nylon clips along the 4’ side allowing parts to be connected, and uses a (4) tab system that inserts into the opposite end along the 2’ side of the panel. This design allows panels to be inserted into each other to get any length bench needed regardless of where the supports are located.

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 (see figure 1).

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 (see figures 2 & 3). This is most common for 2’, 3’, 5’, 6’ and 8’ bench widths.
