To add top shelving to both sides of your Riga IIIs, you will need to purchase two units ($379.99 × 2 = $759.98 for full double-sided top shelving).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIf the Riga IIIs and Riga III top shelves have the same dimensions, are they interchangeable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot necessarily. While both top shelves share the same 10\" × 10'4\" dimensions and price, they are engineered with frame attachment points specific to each model. We recommend ordering the shelf designated for your exact greenhouse model to ensure a proper fit. Contact us if you have questions about compatibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use the top shelf and bottom shelf together in the same Riga IIIs?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — the Riga IIIs top and bottom shelves are designed to work together as a two-tier shelving system. The top shelf sits higher in the greenhouse for seedlings and small plants, while the bottom shelf provides a wider surface at regular working height with storage space underneath. The polycarbonate inserts in the top shelf allow light to reach the bottom shelf and floor below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does the top shelf have polycarbonate inserts?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe polycarbonate inserts allow natural light to pass through to the plants and shelves below. Without light-transmitting inserts, a solid upper shelf would cast shade on everything beneath it — reducing growing conditions on the bottom shelf and floor. The polycarbonate inserts maintain light levels throughout the greenhouse interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this shelf compatible with other Riga models?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis top shelf is engineered specifically for the Riga IIIs footprint (10'4\" interior length). Other Riga models have different interior lengths and require their own model-specific shelving. Contact us to find the correct top shelf for your specific Riga model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is free shipping only available when purchased with a greenhouse?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe shelf ships free when ordered together with a Riga IIIs greenhouse because it can be included in the same freight shipment. When ordered separately, it ships as a standalone item and an additional shipping charge applies due to its size.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Exaco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59517640802590,"sku":"RIGA-IIIS-TOP-SHELF","price":379.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1078\/1802\/5246\/files\/RIgatopandbottomSHelf.webp?v=1786482314","url":"https:\/\/rigagreenhousekit.com\/products\/top-shelf-for-riga-iiis-10-wide-x-104-long","provider":"Riga Greenhouses","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
