HydrogardenGarland 80 x 80cm Square Tray, Black

Ordered to put under a 60 cm x 60 cm leaking washing machine. Was going to cut the front side, to help access for washing machine and drainage, but in the end managed to get washing machine in to tray, without buckling the side (side was strong enough to have washing machine resting on it).Outer dimensions of tray are 80 cm x 80 cm, but inner dimensions at inner base are only 71.5 cm x 71.5 cm, due to sloping sides. So, fitted washing machine with ~6 cm clearance all round. Realised I needed access to a drainage panel at front, so pushed washing machine to back of tray, giving ~13 cm clearance at front.Height of tray is ~12 cm.Test runs have seemed to work okay. The tray + washing machine is quite easy to slide (which is handy), and the machine does NOT seem to move around when running (if this was an issue, I suppose anti-slip pads could be added).Delivered in the biggest Amazon box I have ever received!I feel quite a useful tray to have, for many purposes.NB.Amazon description + comparison table says that Material = Vinyl Alloy Steelbut I don't think this is right.Label on tray says: '100% recycled plastic'; 'injection moulded tray' and 'Tough rigid plastic - resistant to all garden chemicals and oils'.(No real idea of thickness of plastic(?) throughout, as I didn't cut it; and thickness may vary in injection moulding, but edge lip thickness measured (roughly) at 3mm thick)

I ordered one of these trays at first for my tomato seedlings which I started off in my kitchen and as they shot up in size I bought another tray to keep them on. They've been perfect for me because they fit exactly onto my worktop and prevent any dirt and water from getting onto the surface below. They're made of strong plastic and I think, they are going to last for years. I managed to get a lot of plant pots on them and now the tomatoes have been transferred to the greenhouse, I've kept them on the trays on the floor to keep the cold off. I shopped around and it was the excellent price as well as the correct size which attracted me to these. The robustness and quality exceeded my expectations. The packaging was great too.

Good strong tray which works well for my purpose intended. However, the plastic used has a very strong smell which was rather off-putting. Other wise Good.

I got this tray for using with paint pouring as it is a messy hobby.The tray at a meter square was big enough we could have 2 canvases inside and room to place bottles of paint too.The sides are a decent height in this tray, and it’s really sturdy, worked great for not only catching paint dripping off the canvases but preventing it from covering the kitchen as we used straws to blow paint across the canvas as well.It cleans up nice, and will certainly be used again. I am storing is side on currently, saves space, and the tray is fine this way not going out of shape or anything.I was looking for a standard try but none were big enough, this one looks great they have various diff sizes, and could easily be used for a number of different things, I would buy again if I needed, and if I had a green house or something would certainly be looking here first for plant trays, these are great trays.My only complaint is not about the tray itself, but that the box it was sent in was huge, and so much paper wrapping inside, totally unnecessary, it could have been shipped as it was in some plastic film or something. So the tray is great, the enormous box and packaging total waste (we have recycled it but even so).

This is a huge tray and very sturdy. Despite the size, it doesn't bend and the bottom and sides feel nice and solid. It seemed quite expensive for a plastic tray but actually, it's not, for one this size. I imagine it will hold quite a bit of weight and still be solid and not bend. It's almost too large for one person to lift with contents, so you'd probably not be moving it about much anyway. It took a bit longer to arrive than normal prime deliveries, probably due to the size. I will be using it to create a heated propagator using a soil warming cable, hoping it's the right size for a 5 m cable laid out 8 cm or 3" apart (think my maths is correct!). It's just about deep enough for that, at about 4 inches deep, as heating cables need to be in damp sand, 2" above and below. The inside area is 71.5 cm both ways, and it's 10.5 cm high on the (straight edge) inside. 80 x 80 cm includes the edge of the tray, so it will fit into an 80 x 80 cm space. There are small ridges on the bottom of the tray, so the base is not totally smooth. Am pleased I bought this, rather than attempting to make something myself, and would definitely recommend it for a range of purposes.

This is one very sturdy and strong tray and just what I hoped for, well worth the money.

I also use it for artistic purposes rather than gardening. I will use it for acrylic paint pouring at some point, but for now, I'm resin casting. It's good. Everything fits comfortably inside without having to stack things, and I had to move rooms with it when it was full; it was very sturdy and didn't wobble or warp. I accidentally splashed resin on the base, and it came off the next day with very little effort. The last tray I had, I don't recall where it was from, if my resin stuck to it then it was stuck forever. Maybe it's because this one is made from a slightly shinier plastic. I'll have to see when I start paint pouring to see if that comes off just as well. For now, I'm very happy.

Using for the back of my car when taking honey supers off beehives to stop sticky honey going everywhere! Easy to clean.
