Botanicare Low Tide LT Black Tray 3ft x 3ft | 3.5in Low Profile, 15 Gal

The Botanicare Low Tide 3x3 Tray Sits in Its Own Footprint

A 3x3 tray that measures 41 inches outside is not a 3x3 tray in any way that helps you. This one runs 37 in x 37 in outside over a true 36 in x 36 in floor. It lands under a 3x3 canopy without stealing aisle width. The sidewall is 3.5 in and capacity is 15 gallons. That catches a runoff cycle or a fitting failure without turning the tray into a reservoir you have to lift. The grid runs diagonally and pushes water to the outlet.

Using It as a 3x3 Flood Tray, and When Not To

Growers who search for a 3x3 flood tray usually want one of two things, and it is worth knowing which. If the job is catching runoff under drip or hand-watering, this is the right tray and the low profile is the feature. If the job is a real ebb-and-flow cycle with pots sitting in two or three inches of solution, 3.5 in is tight. The seven-inch ID tray gives you room to work. Set a slight pitch toward the drain. Check the grid for grit between runs, since a shallow tray shows debris faster than a deep one does. The edge is trimmed rather than flanged, so it stacks and stores flat. Recycled and recyclable plastic, BPA free, made in the USA on solar energy. At 15 gallons it also empties into a bucket by hand, which no eight-foot tray will ever do.

Key Features

• True 36 in x 36 in inside floor: A real 3x3 of growing space at a 37 in outside footprint.
• 3.5 in low profile sidewall: Runoff catchment without the height, weight or cost of a full-depth flood table.
• 15 gallon capacity: Enough to hold a runoff cycle or a failed fitting, and light enough to lift and empty by hand.
• Diagonal drainage grid: Moves water to the outlet rather than trapping it in pockets under the pots.
• Trimmed edge for flat storage: Stacks and stores flat between runs instead of perching on a flange.
