Today I built up my own flood table and 4 grow trays from lumber, lined with a waterproof poly membrane, and finished with a drain hole.
This flood table is for my veg room and measures just short of 4x8ft, sitting 3 1/2ft off the ground which is an ideal working height for me and suits perfectly the lights and room dimensions.
I also built four smaller grow trays, one for each of my lights in flower, built to fit 4 x 7 gallon pots, or 6 if I have to push it.
All these are fitted with a drain hole so I can collect runoff when I pull the plug.
They are not built to hold water all the time, although they probably could cope with that.
I have a lot of lumber stock around so this came in super cheap, but even from scratch this can easily be achieved for much less than the cost of hydro flood tables or similar if price is your prerogative.
