Some time ago I blogged about a construction project where we made up a number of pairs of rails to take steel sliding trays for my nursery, Stanmore Horticultural and new Clivia buildings for the collection. Finally we’ve started to assemble these for the various areas. In total there are now over one thousand galvanised steel trays each 1.8m x 1.2m, sliding on more than a kilometer of rails. Images attached show a tray in use with collectibles on it, and some construction shots. We have also moved the first two 6 meter sections into place on a recently completed full sun pad.

This is the area for the new Clivia Shade house. Due to the slope, it will need 4 retaining walls to give level pads going up the hill. The size will end up approximately 48 meters x 10 meters.

Construction of steel trays has also been completed.  The galvanized steel trays are 1800mm x 1200mm and will slide on portable legs.  This image shows the stack of rails which sit on the legs and allow the trays to slide.  Ignore the trays of last year's seedlings...
