Looking for some ideas for my tent. Normally I run hempy buckets, but since going back to a tent from a room, I’m not gonna have all the extra space. I know a flood tray is made for this but I don’t want to drop 100 bucks for a piece of molded plastic. I’m thinking it’s gonna be something like a declined table, allowing the runoff to flow to the lower end and into a collection tote possibly. If anyone has any ideas, I’m all ears. I tried doing a search, all I find is info on how to re feed your runoff. Lol

Easy enough to set up some kind of collection system. A good tarp can create a flood tray really cheap. Some kind of pump and float valve could easily be hooked up with minimal effort. My biggest concern about such things would be keeping the humidity down which will be much harder in a tent than it was in a room.

I built a table out of scrap 2x4’s and a plywood top. Covered it with plastic and it drained into a gutter I had laying around. Gutter went to bucket.

Not a bad idea. I’m sure I can find pond liner or pool liner somewhere
My buddy built a table with a slight incline. He then covered it with corrigated PVC roofing panel. That went into a gutter, gutter to bucket like @MidwestMover described.
