Flood tray, what to use?

As the name states, I live on an island.
I can't just run to my local growshop to pick up a Flood tray and I can't find anyone online who will ship a 4'x8' because of the size. What could I use to make one? I thought about a Kids swimming pool, but being January and winter, none of the 3 retail shop have any, and those don't ship either. This is what I can get here: Hardware such as pumps and tubing, building supplies, tupperware containers up to 18 gallons and trash barrels up to 35 gallons. The only advantage I have is that my water comes from a well thats PH sits around 5.7-59 and has a PPM of under 100.
Any Ideas?

Honestly, there is no one out there that has an Idea. Shit I have an Ideas I just need some one to
validate them for me... Can't a Brother get a Bone around here...

Dont overwater and its not an issue! You can rivet together big rubbermaid lids, maybe. Hope that helps some

If you want a 4x8, you can just go to a hardware store and buy a 4'x8' sheet of plywood. Line the edges with 2"x6"s. Cover in plastic sheeting, cut a hole for your flood/drain fittings.

And get caulking or a sealant and seal up anything that might leak.

Line the table with that place the black material they use for outdoor ponds. It comes in squares and rolls. There are different thickness ratings for different applications. That will make it water tight. It is usually a bad idea to mix water and plywood unless it is marine plywood, but you know that because you are the Island Guy. Growers are do-it-yourselfers by nature (pun intended)
