Since I want to start seeds indoors again this year, I need something to keep the cats out of the trays. I found this and bought one today.

Now if you enter the code 50297237 you can get another $6.00 off the price. The total cost for me with shipping was $33.40
Once it gets here I will look into getting some shop lights to hang above each shelf for the lighting part.

I did get a few of these a few years back and they worked well...but...I wasn't able to hang lights inside of them to keep the seeds going well. They did OK...but think I am going back to my wooden plant stand with lights and place plastic over it all. A few of my more intelligent cats manage to get inside but I need to be one "paw' ahead of them this year. I will use the enclose green houses too and switch them around to the overhead light too.

I have a couple of these. The covers wear out quickly

I made another one with a shower curtain and duct tape... Found mine at Big Lots I think

If you live in an area with any wind, they will want tie-downs.

My friend bought his to start seeds in the house. He has it in front of a window for sunshine and warmth for his starting seeds trays.
