How to raise 4x8 flood tables

canope · May 9, 2020

Hey guys I have a room that I'm packing with 15 flood tables all 4x8. The budget is getting kinda tight and I'm looking for an idea to keep those tables oof the ground. So far, cinder blocks seems likte the best option, 12 blocks per table would probably be fine. Any other ideas?

Build some frames on caster wheels that house the tables.

that way you also have mobility of each table?

i used to use 5 gal buckets but they get squished sometimes.

i put a 4x8 plywood under the tray from home depot. and under the each 4x8 plywood i put 5 cinderblocks. 2 top 2 bottom 1 in middle.

i found some free ones on craigslist in the free section needed 8 4 on each side and i had room to fit my reservoir under it.

I built my reservoirs out of 2x12 lumber and lag screws. Then line that with pond liner. Add some cross braces for the tray to sit on. Just like that, you have a large capacity low profile reservoir that the tray sits directly on.
