Coir & preparation · WITH COBY
Plan around the complete loaded system, including wet media, plants and equipment. A dry substrate weight is not a structural load assessment.

Cocopeat gains mass when hydrated, and the support must accommodate its working condition and distribution.
01 / OBSERVE
02 / NARROW IT DOWN
Choose the closest observation for a suggested next check.
Measure representative working weights and seek a structural assessment where needed.
Ask the manufacturer or a qualified professional before increasing the load.
Review distribution as well as total weight; local overloading can matter even when the total seems acceptable.
03 / TAKE THE NEXT STEP
Record the approved loading arrangement and keep it available to the growing team.
Do not infer a safe load from how a bench looks or from past use with a lighter crop.

Check the supporting surface before changing the substrate. An uneven bench can create a repeated wet or dry pattern along otherwise similar bags.
