Strawberry Board Shelving
Depth of 358 when gable mounted, 300mm when side mounted
from £460 per metre*
Strawberry boards facilitate enhanced growing conditions, as well as maximising the space in the pitched roofs of our glasshouses. They can be eaves or gable mounted, and the concept dates back at least to the Victorian heyday of glasshouse growing.
The closer the plant is to the glass, the more it benefits from the sun’s rays and solar energy, which is particularly valuable during periods of lower light, such as spring and autumn. By growing close to the glass, it also discourages the plants, especially strawberries, from becoming too “leggy”.
As well as creating precious extra space in the busy growing season, strawberry boards pose as a decorative display shelf all year round.
