What setups have you got for hanging Nepenthes in your greenhouses?

Thanks - though it's a rather taller greenhouse than what I can easily get here! I think the idea of a frame to take the load is a great idea, I'm not convinced of the load bearing capacity of the aluminium extrusions that form the greenhouse structure. Wish I had my TiG welder here, I could knock a frame up quite easily with that.

 

Out of curiosity, what watering method have you got? I'll probably attach misting heads to whatever contraption I Frankenstein up, but I'm always open to new ideas

Usually I water by hand and with a lance on a hosepipe, it gives you a chance to check each plant for problems as you water. I did set up a spray/dripper system with a timer for holidays in hot weather but prefer not to use it routinely as things can easily too wet/or too dry.

The wood is actually the greenhouse not a separate frame, most aluminium frames should be able to take a decent amount of weight, most of the pots really aren't heavy.
