DURA-BENCH Plastic Greenhouse Bench Tops
DURA-BENCH Plastic Greenhouse Bench Top is a smoother and longer lasting growing surface for your plants. Designed to replace traditional wood, wire, and expanded metal bench top, DURA-BENCH panels are made from durable, non-porous polypropylene plastic. The DURA-BENCH Plastic Greenhouse Bench Top eliminates problems like corrosion, rust, and sharp edges typically seen from expanded metal or wire tops.
