🔧 Custom Built Dunnage Rack   ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ Custom built dunnage rack for a grow watering table. Shelves are epoxy coated. The restaurant supply store I buy from does not have a ready made dunnage rack of this size, so I had to piece one together. The 2 shelves, posts, and casters cost me about 150 USD / 140 EUR before shipping.          🔧 Design the Size of the Table on the Shower Pan   ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ Since show pans are weird sizes and there are many size shelf available, I recommend finding the shower pan first   I could have shopped around for a cheaper used shower pan, but I had done it in reverse and was impatient. I bought one at a local store for a painful 190 USD / 177 EUR.          🔧 Advantages   ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ I have a large tent and have the room inside the tent.    I take far better care of my plants when they are waist high compared to on the ground. With a roll around "mechanic's stool", I sit eye level with the plants making inspection easier, LST, and all important Grower's Gaze™️    I prefer the Syn-Ganics approach with soil growing for taste, but hand watering soil is a messy affair. As a bonus, implementing automated soil moisture monitoring and watering will be far easier with this table    The ability to move the plants around easily for access to rear of the tent.          ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________     If this project inspires your imagination, please check out my latest diary https://growdiaries.woodroom.tel/diaries/165223-grow-journal-by-negotiatebubble          I Build My Own Custom Grow LEDs https://growdiaries.woodroom.tel/diaries/165481-grow-journal-by-negotiatedbubble    Custom Built Modified Grow Tent Frame https://growdiaries.woodroom.tel/diaries/165474-grow-journal-by-negotiatedbubble    VPD Chart and Calculator spreadsheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Dta8AptwIIgo728nAu4l9acrWYWPdrljjV4uzXwGJ0Q/edit?usp=sharing    My Custom Nutrient Spreadsheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1grolLVrJLQVSdK7sdnR7dS86axWIzDgW1iWWZIFHhiA/edit?usp=sharing

Great looking setup 😍😎 I built some little things I am calling wheelies (look under my ladies) they lift my plants just a few inches and I love it so I'm sure you getting them up that high is going to be great 👍 then the ease of moving them on wheels is a great back saver 4sure

Yeah it's all about the Grower's Gaze. I can't tell you how many times I have just sat there and stared and it's a lot easier to gaze at eye level. I keep seeing all these pictures of plants on the floor and keep thinking "how much time total are they actually spending down on the floor with these plants?" I previously had a dunnage rack for each my plants, but having them all easily drain into a trash can is D-O-P-E.

That's brilliant, I will now be doing something very similar with my grow which is at 1 week vegetation. Thank you for sharing

Great Idea👍. You are very handy in making functional equipment. Men just have a knack for this sort of thing. I agree raising the plants reduces back breaking bending and lifting.

@Natrona, at lot of guys I know couldn't twist two wires together to save their own life lol. I just happen to be both mechanically minded and a habitual daydreamer.
