Title basically says it all....been planning on rebuilding for couple cycles now tried to plan perfectly.....but in a nutshell wanting a 8x8 canopy on two 4x8 rolling benches.....botanicare didnt make them that short and i couldnt fit bigger so went with fast fit.....they had a trellis support optional so i thought i was good.....but upon further research it isnt for the rolling benches.....need some idead for trellis support my only thought would be something out of pvc that fits the tray.....any better ideas anyone?

Galvanized or black pipe? Tons of fittings available and cutting and threading is free when you buy it at most home improvement stores

well shoot some pics when you get them, with the trays on them so I can see if the tray sticks out farther than the metal. Likely you can isntall some uprights using EMT and two hole clamps.

3/4 inch EMT conduit (cheap) and two hole strap clamps. as long as the trays don't stick out past the metal

With a sturdy rig you can pull the trellis really tight, use 8 inch zip ties (UV rated). Then you can get it really tight. Only use the good plastic trellis not the cheap string shit

I've been down that road before and it's really a good strong solution. I love strut channel, when I wanna hang lights I like to just mount or hang strut channel, then I can have mounting points anywhere along it's length, move them easily if I want to change spacing so some point like new lights. Hang big dehumidifiers up where they are more efficient and out of the way. It's a growers friend.
