Fast fit flood table alternative

[budman410]

So I found an importer of a similar product but I only need 20 and min order is 50pcs. Do y’all think they would sell. They are 4x4 stands for flood tables. Online everyone uses freight shipping so I’m assuming each stand is pretty big. I would resell the extras at my cost plus whatever shipping is to who wants them

Without an estimated price I can't say. Make sure that common trays will actually fit of course. Chances are you would want an ebay account or something similar to move 30 units. Trying to sling new products on craigslist won't end well lol

I think it would be around 70-75 per table Possibly a little lower depending on other fees. I wonder how big they are all the websites make them shipped with freight

Look at t nutz extrusions, might be able to build something close to that price. I just bought some 4' extrusions to use as heatsinks and was quite surprised how reasonable it was. However, the 90 degree brackets was another story! It's hella sturdy when bolted together and even if it costs a little more, you could use it for something else later on...

So from your experience how is it with building, is it some connecting or cutting needed?

Which ones did you buy for heatsinks?
Do you have a link?

And what size of the extrusions would be needed you think, to build the tables?

Walmart sells many different folding tables.
Do you have a link?

There are also these corner joints. Then you can get started with aluminum or steel square tubes.
I don't know if it is sturdy enough. And whether it is cheaper.

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Cosco-14-619-BLK2-34-in-Square-Black-Folding-Table/44805867 i think this one. or one incredibly similar. plenty sturdy, plenty of room for rez under and big enough to fit my 3x3 and 4x4. just put down velcro strips on the table and trays to prevent sliding!

I seen these bars used before just not for this purpose, I’ll see if I can see someone with some builds with them. I’m going to try the cheap tables and some of these different options I could always use them for trellis supports if it doesn’t work out for whole table
