Quick answer
Use a soil saving floor in 32-inch tall beds to cut soil volume by over half, and add a fixed top shelf in your greenhouse to keep trays and tools within reach without sacrificing workspace.
Why these accessories work together
A soil saving floor reduces the amount of soil you need to fill a tall raised bed, which lowers both cost and weight. A fixed top shelf uses vertical space in a greenhouse, freeing up the bench below for larger pots or workspace. Together, they make growing more efficient without expanding your footprint.
Both are add-ons designed to fit specific Vego configurations, so check compatibility with your bed height or greenhouse size before ordering.
Things to consider before installing
The soil saving floor is custom-made for 32-inch tall Classic and Extra Tall beds, so it won't fit shorter models. It reduces soil use by 53%, but you still need enough depth for root growth—this floor leaves plenty of depth for healthy roots, so it's safe for most vegetables.
The fixed top shelf is designed for greenhouses and pairs with a bottom shelf for a two-tier setup. Measure your greenhouse width and check the available size option before purchasing.
Step-by-step: Install and use these accessories
- Check compatibility: Confirm your raised bed is a 32-inch tall Classic or Extra Tall model for the soil saving floor, and measure your greenhouse width for the fixed top shelf. Order the correct size option. Double-check your bed height and greenhouse dimensions before ordering.
- Install the soil saving floor: Place the floor inside the empty bed at the desired height, ensuring it sits evenly on all sides. It should fit snugly without gaps where soil could escape. Make sure the floor is level and fully supported before adding soil.
- Fill the bed with soil: Add soil on top of the floor, leaving enough depth for your plants' root systems. The floor reduces soil volume by 53%, so you'll need significantly less than a full bed. Don't overfill—use the saved space to reduce weight and cost.
- Mount the fixed top shelf: Attach the shelf to the greenhouse frame at a height that leaves comfortable headroom. Secure it firmly so it can hold trays and pots without sagging. Test the shelf's stability with a light load before placing heavy items.
- Organize your greenhouse workspace: Place seed trays and small pots on the top shelf, and use the bench below for larger containers or potting tasks. Pair with a bottom shelf for a two-tier setup if needed. Keep frequently used items at eye level to reduce bending and reaching.
