Were the sides 2x4s?The coolest custom table for a tray I've seen was also the simplest...4x4s bolted together to make a frame for the tray to sit in, with six casters mounted to 4x4 blocks for the legs. They were super low profile and also slightly raised on one end for drainage...runoff went into an even lower profile plastic tote and got sucked up with a buckethead when full.
are you going to use poly as a liner? or water sealer? sounds like the build is there. but wont water damage the plywood after a bit, maybe warping it or something?Hi this is my first post :) I'm looking to build a table for a 4x8 hydrofarm tray. I'm thinking just a table made from 2x4s with a plywood top? I'd cut a whole for the drain in the plywood. Is this a decent plan? I'd appreciate any and all help.
Yes I was thinking the same. I figure I'd throw a couple coats of paint on it,but I could use 1x4 pine for the top ( like a futon frame ) ???are you going to use poly as a liner? or water sealer? sounds like the build is there. but wont water damage the plywood after a bit, maybe warping it or something?
i would get some sort of sealer instead of paint but thats just me. added protection i guess. that way no suprise mold or anything like that.Yes I was thinking the same. I figure I'd throw a couple coats of paint on it,but I could use 1x4 pine for the top ( like a futon frame ) ???
i believe you are correct!!!:bag::banghead:I may be mistaken but I think @burn4me is thinking you're building a bed but you're just wanting a table to put they 4x8 on right? In that case you wouldn't need any sealer.
I wouldn't build a table either I'd just build the frame and put a stud every 24" to distribute the load
This is what I'm looking for. Except I'm doing one 4x8 and one 4x4 for my L. I will also be hitting it with kilz. You don't have any pics do ya?I build mine out of 2x3's. A few bucks cheaper and since I don't flood the trays, i'm not too concerned about the weight. The legs are 4x4 but I used to do a 2x3 butted up to a 2x6 making an L shape. But the casters don't screw into that to well. I start with a rectangle frame and cross brace three times across the site dimension. Center brace gets a leg and casters too. They then get sprayed with Killz. PVC uprights get attached to the legs and hold the trellis. Table is a few inches larger on each side than the tray.
Thinking about getting away from trays and doing something like that also. My trays are 2x4 and 2x2, made the stands out of 1" pvc. One inch is working was thinking bigger but the store only had the corners i wanted in 1" size.nice set up in the below link.

I just built a 4X8 flood table not quite complete yet. I sealed it with a rubber thick type of sealant. I have a drain in my garage that I will run the excess water into right under it. I have to mount a drain plug so I can just turn the handle and it all runs into my drain.Hi this is my first post :) I'm looking to build a table for a 4x8 hydrofarm tray.
