The material is normally used under floors in basement. I bought it at Lowe's comes in 30' x 42" roll and you can cut it with scissors.

I do plan to use fittings that sit below the bottom of the pan for complete drainage. Plus, the pans will be slightly tilted (one degree or so). I definitely don't want any standing water in there.
I'm not going to flood them all at once. I'll flood them one at a time.

In order to install you fittings on the bottom of the pan and attach the necessary lines you are going to have to support them, take a look at what Earl did to put drains in.
In order to flood them individually your going to create a plumbing mightmare. And you will not change it by using silicone.
At the very least you would spend more money. IF you insist on doing this your best bet would be to buy some RainBird equipment, They have 3 station prebuilt celenoid switches that can be connected to a timer that allows you to water different zones of your lawn, in this case your fantastic garden. If I remember right the zone control valve is about $50.00, I bought on of thier 8 station times for less than $20.00, I think the normal price is around $40.00
You made trays? What did you make them out of? You buy trays now? Do the old ones wear out fast? |
HAHAHAHAHAHA. You could have answered your question by reading any of my threads, I have been a member for a little over 2 years and have only started 10 threads, 7 of them are DIY threads.
Yep, I buy the trays now, and build the table to put them on, install the casters and reses.
NO, they have been replaced because there are problems with
drainage. I am trying to save your ass, because I have done it, and you are trying to be a smart ass. It would probably be better to be smart. And it would cost you a lot less too. That doesn't mean I don't like ya............yet. VV
