Rolling bench sizing

Bench

Quantity

How many matching bench units would you like to include? The estimated total multiplies the per-bench amount for the same width, length, material, and foundation.

Whole numbers, 1–500

Understanding the results

The sizing tool prices by bench width, section length, top material, foundation (where applicable), and quantity—the same inputs used in our equipment configurators. Indicative totals are for planning; sales confirms final packages.

Pair bench planning with mechanical ventilation, unit heaters, or other equipment using Add to quote request on each tool, then submit one combined request.

Equipment overview

Portable greenhouse benches

Portable Benches

Flexible, move-anywhere growing space.

Portable benches are ideal for growers who need adaptable layouts for propagation, seasonal crops, retail displays, or smaller greenhouse spaces. They are easy to reposition and do not require permanent installation.

Best for: Smaller greenhouses, propagation areas, retail spaces, and flexible growing layouts.

Stationary greenhouse bench runs

Stationary Benches

Permanent bench runs built for consistent production layouts.

Stationary benches are designed for growers who want a clean, organized layout that stays in place. They are a strong fit for production houses, research facilities, and retail environments where aisle spacing and workflow are planned in advance.

Best for: Production houses, research facilities, retail displays, and long-term greenhouse layouts.

Rolling benches in a greenhouse

Rolling Benches

Maximize usable growing area without expanding the greenhouse.

Rolling benches reduce the amount of floor space lost to permanent aisles. Benches move side-to-side on rails, allowing access where needed while keeping more of the greenhouse floor dedicated to crop production. The rolling bench calculator prices by bench width, section length, top material, foundation, and quantity—the same inputs as stationary benches, with no greenhouse dimensions required.

Best for: Commercial growers, schools, nurseries, and anyone trying to increase production per square foot.

Bench materials staged for shipping

Palletized Benches

Project-ready bench packages for efficient shipping and installation.

Palletized bench systems are packaged to simplify freight, staging, and field assembly. They are useful for larger projects where delivery coordination and installation sequencing matter.

Best for: Large commercial projects, multi-house builds, and logistics-heavy installations.

Real configurations (30×96 example)

Three Conley's bench setups in the same 30×96 greenhouse footprint—portable, stationary, and rolling—with example totals for planning context.

Portable greenhouse benches arranged in a flexible educational layout, 30 by 96 feet

Scenario 1 · Educational greenhouse

Educational greenhouse with portable benches

Setup
24 portable benches, 4 ft wide × 12 ft long, Dura Bench plastic tops
Coverage
1,152 sq ft of growing space — 40% of the greenhouse floor
Total cost
$12,432 ($518 per bench)

This example reflects an educational program that prioritizes flexibility, accessibility, and community use alongside growing space. The priorities, and the resulting coverage percentage, vary widely across school greenhouses.

Stationary greenhouse benches with expanded metal tops in a production environment, 30 by 96 feet

Scenario 2 · Commercial nursery

Commercial nursery with stationary benches

Setup
10 stationary benches, 5 ft wide × 44 ft long, expanded metal tops, legs mounted in concrete piers
Coverage
2,200 sq ft of growing space — 76% of the greenhouse floor
Total cost
$17,120 ($1,712 per bench)

This example reflects a commercial nursery operating as a dedicated production facility. The crew works the same layout every day. Consistency matters more than flexibility, and the layout doesn't need to change because the operation doesn't.

Scenario 3 · Commercial production

Commercial production with rolling benches and ebb & flow

Setup
10 rolling benches, 5 ft 6 in wide × 44 ft long, ebb & flow trays, mounted on slab with adjustable leg brackets
Coverage
2,420 sq ft of growing space — 84% of the greenhouse floor
Total cost
$25,150 ($2,515 per bench)

This example reflects a commercial operation prioritizing growing area and automation. Each bench top rolls side-to-side on its own frame, so the working aisle moves wherever access is needed. Five benches across a 30-foot greenhouse can be packed tightly when no one is working them, then rolled apart to create a 23-inch aisle wherever the crew needs to be.

Frequently asked questions

Can I mix bench types in one greenhouse?
Yes. Many growers combine portable staging areas with stationary or rolling production runs. Size each type separately and combine them in one quote request.
How does bench installation affect the greenhouse build schedule?
Benches are often installed after the structure and covering are complete, but foundation choices (embedded vs mounted) should be coordinated with floor and footing plans early.
What's the difference between Dura Bench and expanded metal tops?
Expanded metal is a durable open mesh top. Dura Bench is a plastic top option. Ebb & Flo trays support flood irrigation. Choose based on crop, watering style, and maintenance preference.
Is there a palletized bench calculator?
Not yet online. Contact us for a quote on palletized bench packages for large or multi-house projects.
