dori...I think you oughta get something a bit stronger than chicken wire....under weight it will easily bend, plus it also will rust very quickly in a greenhouse. I've used galvanized fencing for some of my table tops...the mesh is two X four inches and holds up well. (If you get the larger mesh some pots will either sit cock-eyed on it or fall thru. (I've also used hardeware cloth, a.k.a. "rabbit wire" but it is pretty expensive and tends to "unravel" on the ends and invariably pokes me!) If you want to use a table as a heat mat then use solid plywood as the top with a few holes drilled here and there for drainage. This way you can buy one of those heat wires, or heat tapes, and zig-zag it on the table, cover it with a bit of potting soil and set your flats directly on it. (They come with built-in thermostats that keep your soil temp around 74*.) (<-unless you g-house temps drop WAY down.) Hope this helps!

I was just given four sets of plant shelves..the kind they use in walmart and other garden centers. I must find a truck to get them moved here. When I do, I will explain the dimensions and how they are built
