How to setup a drain for 2x2 flood table?

As the title states I've got a new 2x2 table that I want to setup to drain outside the tent. I'd be happy with a solution to just have it drain to any bucket or container outside the tent that would be easy to dump for my DTW setup. Biggest priority for the setup is keeping the table as low as possible.

Really looking for specifics as to what size hole to drill and what type of fitting to place so that a hose could attach for the drain to bucket/container. I'm assuming my local grow shop should have what I need to set that up.

Roughed in table stand, waiting on the final 4 way tees and then I can decide how tall I need the legs:

This is the tent it will be setup in. I'm assuming the drain could exit that lower left access hole. I'm assuming the tray would have to sit higher than the hole? How much higher?


Thanks for any input and ideas!

If you can live with 6" legs, why not a shallow storage bin under the tray.

Bulkhead and a hose,tilt your tray a little.

Every inch counts in a 63" tall tent, but I might consider something like that. I'd still like to have a fitting installed into the drain pan in case I want to pump the waste out in the future.

Pump it out then .


or shop vac

you probably only need 1/4" or 1/2" slope

Also the design I followed was something @BobBitchen posted in another thread I believe. So thank you! 1 inch PVC. Cheap ratcheting PVC cutters made perfect clean cuts, as easy as using scissors.

I measured for a basic idea of the size pieces I'd need, but then cut them down a little further for a perfect snug fit for the tray.
