Garland Giant+ Tray 1200mm x 550mm x 50mm Deep

🌱 Garland Giant+ Tray 1200mm x 550mm x 50mm Deep — Guide and Product Information

Practical overview

The Garland Giant+ Tray is a spacious watering and holding tray made for gardeners who need to manage multiple pots efficiently. At 10cm longer than the standard Giant Tray, it offers extra room for plant pots, seed trays or container-grown crops while remaining a practical fit for many greenhouse staging setups.

Its generous footprint makes it especially useful where regular hand watering is time-consuming. By adding a shallow depth of water to the tray, growers can water a large number of pots in one go. It can also be used with grit or capillary matting depending on your preferred setup.

Main benefits for watering and plant care

This tray is popular with both private and commercial growers because it simplifies the day-to-day task of keeping plants watered. The internal 28 litre capacity gives useful water-holding volume, while the shallow horizontal ridges across the base can help drainage and support practical plant placement.

• ✔ Helps water many potted plants with minimal effort
• ✔ Useful as a large irrigation table in greenhouse or nursery spaces
• ✔ Suitable for capillary matting or grit-based watering setups
• ✔ Neat fit for many greenhouse benches and Danish trolley shelves

Design features and tray layout

The tray measures 1200mm x 550mm x 50mm deep and is designed as a broad, shallow platform for practical horticultural use. The extra length compared with the Giant Tray is useful when you need more pot capacity without moving to a very deep reservoir-style tray.

The internal ridged base may assist water movement and drainage, which can be helpful when the tray is used for standing pots temporarily or when paired with capillary material. Its format also makes it suitable for organised pot spacing on staging or mobile trolley systems.

Suitable applications

The Garland Giant+ Tray is well suited to greenhouse growers, propagation areas, garden nurseries and general plant care spaces where a large tray is needed for watering or containment. It can be used for holding plant pots, reducing runoff on staging and creating a simple bottom-watering area for groups of plants.

Setup and Usage Tips

Place the tray on a level and stable surface before filling. If using it for bottom watering, add only the water depth needed for your pots and avoid leaving plants standing in water for longer than necessary unless your growing method specifically requires it. For capillary watering, lay capillary matting evenly across the tray so moisture distribution stays consistent.

Check that the tray is properly supported across its full length when used on staging or trolley shelves. If you are pairing trays with containers, products such as Plastic Square Pot options or Round Plant Saucer Black products may help with wider plant area organisation.
