I am not sure as to how long they will last, but I covered some GH bench
frame using concrete reinforcing wire.

Don't you get a lot of 'bounce' from that covering?

We started making benches with the following dimensions, four legs at 2O"
tall, 3 cross members at 16" wide. These dimensions allow you to cut up one
8foot long 2x4x8 in "no waste" segments. We then rip a landscape timber in
half proving the two lateral support sides.

Sorry, Van, I have to ask everything. What are the dimensions of your top? (8x16?) What is the advantage of ripping the landscape timber? Where do you find them chemical free?

Thanks!

Can someone remind me: does Andy Lee recommend Day Ranging for broilers?

Also, does anyone know if Tim Shell et all ever made the bred-for-pasture broiler chicks avail. on a commercial basis?

Thanks

Don't you get a lot of 'bounce' from that covering?

not really too concerned about the bounce.

We started making benches with the following dimensions, four legs at 2O"
tall, 3 cross members at 16" wide. These dimensions allow you to cut up one
8foot long 2x4x8 in "no waste" segments. We then rip a landscape timber in
half proving the two lateral support sides.

not >Sorry, Van, I have to ask everything. What are the dimensions of your
top? (8x16?)

I don't think I explained very well. I do NOT produce one bench from one
2x4x8. You can get four 2" legs and one 16" cross section. Thus you need two
more additional 2 x 4x16" to complete the short bench pieces. The ripped
landscape timbers make the lateral sides.

What is the advantage of ripping the landscape timber?

A treated 2x4x8 costs about $2.6O down here whereas a LST costs about $1.99.
You rip the LST in half to reduce your costs and the ripped half is thicker
than a 2x4x8, possibly reducing warping.

Where do you find them chemical free?


I am growing plug trays on top so any leaching of chemicals will erode
beneath and not impact my plants.

Thanks!

-Allan
