Need ideas for a self made water table (ebb and flow)

I got a 1m x 1m space in a small tent where i want to experiment with ebb and flow.
However buying a table isnt really a option as everything i can find on local shops is not deep enough.

I've seen people advise using self build sandbox with pond liner as bottom..But i don't understand, how to properly attach drainage hoses onto pond liner without getting leaks etc?

I tried to be creative and think outside the box, so i found a child pool (non inflatable) which has the right depth and size for the job, however same problems with drainage holes accure here as well.

any ideas?

Or use this one that's a bit,bigger. 20"x28".

Yeah, I've converted big totes into flood tables. They're pretty inexpensive. I use 1" ebb and flow fittings (Amazon) for a bulkhead drain.

Easy peasy

At the big home improvement stores here, they have these big plastic tubs called Plantainers. They work great and are about $20 US. I have a few round ones that are probably 1m diameter and about 30 cm deep.
