Canadian Tire Fail

I have been unable to locate an indoor greenhouse similar to the one that [livejournal.com profile] fearsclave has (picture can be seen here: http://pics.livejournal.com/fearsclave/pic/001dxd53) or, even a staging rack such as [livejournal.com profile] ai731 has (picture here: http://ai731.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/seed_rack_mar24_09.jpg?w=420&h=512).

Both claim to have gotten theirs at Canadian Tire.

So I went and explored today. I got blank stares from the employees, and no amount of searching on the intert00bz has revealed anything at any of my local stores. A few American websites have turned up some staging racks, but at a pretty high cost. Same with Lee Valley, which is stupidly expensive.

I am most put out. :P

Maybe I'll just commission one of my handier friends to build me one, and buy some heavy-duty plastic to cover it. That still won't resolve my immediate problem of having nowhere to stage my seedlings.

Home Depot?

That was my first thought too, but I looked and couldn't find anything on their website.

We ordered one for Rich's mom from... the Bay, I'm pretty sure, about six or seven years ago.

Couldn't an inexpensive alternative be shelving (either ikea, or reno depot) and cover with plastic, just a thought. Ebay has one at 86.58 cad here is the link http://cgi.ebay.ca/New-Garden-Greenhouse-Tower-Indoors-or-Outdoors_W0QQitemZ160324463874QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item160324463874&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1215|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318
