4x2 ft drip tray advice wanted...

[Bomber]

Growing in a 4x2ft for some time.

I have the most basic setup, but it works well, except for the watering....

I have to remove the plants from the tent every time I water them, to prevent the runoff sitting in large saucers I have placed underneath the steel mesh floor, but I have recently moved and this is not as convenient or safe any more.

Is there a drip tray with a raised floor to sit the pots on, 4x2ft in dimension, that has a pipe at one end that will allow the runoff to feed through a hose or something, then out the tent??

Ive seen those circular "Drain Away" goodies, but would prefer one big unit rather than two or three of those, or is that something to consider?

Thanks in advance !!

sounds like something you could maybe diy if you're handy?

Bunnings have a wet vac for $50, sounds like a jet engine, does the job.

Yup, and I’m not too bad overall, but water and pipe work and waterproofing ain’t my bag, so thought I’d ask the experts!

Thanks for that, but was thinking of something a bit more passive!

These might do the trick if you have the height and don't want to make anything yourself.

I might Sus a few out. I've got a 140x60x210 here in the box still and they would go well in there.

I use a4 x 4 plastic tray in one of my tents ,,also had to make a stand for it.

I Made a tray for a 90 x 90 tent Bout 4 yeas ago coz I couldn’t easily source a plastic one that size ,,still working fine but probably cost the same as a plastic one ,,once you buy the wood and waterproofing,

Crazy thing about it. 15-20 years ago you could pretty well walk into any Hydro shop and grab whatever size you wanted. Nowadays they seem to be far and few between. Admittedly though, Flood and Drain kits were popular back in the day.
