To add top shelving to both sides of your Riga V, you will need to purchase two units ($549 × 2 = $1,098 for full double-sided top shelving).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use the top shelf and bottom shelf together in the same Riga V?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — the Riga V 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 25\" 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\u003eWhy is the Riga V top shelf more expensive than the IVs\/IV top shelves?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Riga V has a longer interior length (17') than the IVs and IV models (13'10\"). The top shelf is sized to match each greenhouse’s interior length — the V top shelf at 17' is longer and therefore more expensive ($549) than the 13'10\" top shelves for the IVs and IV ($439 each).\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 V footprint (17' interior length). Other Riga models have different interior lengths and require their own model-specific shelving. See the series table above for all available top shelf models.\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 V greenhouse because it can be included in the same freight shipment.
