Botanicare OD Black Tray 3ft x 6ft | 36in x 72in Outside, 56 Gallon

Three by Six Is an Awkward Size, and the Botanicare OD 3x6 Tray Owns It

Not every room divides into squares. A 3x6 lands where a bench is narrow and long. Along a wall, down the middle of a small room, or on the top deck of a rack. This tray is 36 in x 72 in x 6 in on the outside, which is the measurement that decides whether it fits. Inside it runs 34 in x 70 in. Capacity is 56 gallons, more than the 4x4 in the same line despite the smaller footprint. Length does more for volume than width does.

Draining and Supporting a 3x6 Flood Tray

Six feet of tray wants support under the middle. Two end stands and nothing between them is how a loaded tray develops a permanent bow. The diagonal drainage grid runs water to the fitting rather than pooling it. It works better with an inch of pitch toward the drain end than dead level. Rolled edges stiffen the shell, which matters more on a long tray than a square one. Black ABS with a 90% recycled core under a virgin UV-resistant cap, BPA free, made in the USA on solar power. One caution worth stating: at 72 inches this is a two-person carry when it is empty and a no-person carry when it is not.

Key Features

• Exactly 36 in x 72 in outside: Sized to the footprint its name states, so it fits a 3x6 bay without overhang.
• 56 gallon capacity: More volume than the 4x4 in the same line, since length adds more than width at equal depth.
• 6 in sidewall: Deep enough for a real flood cycle around pots rather than runoff catchment alone.
• Diagonal drainage grid: Moves solution to the drain fitting instead of leaving it standing under the pots.
• Rolled edge on black ABS: Stiffens a long shell that would otherwise flex, over a 90% recycled core with a UV-resistant cap.
