Grow Tables
Grow tables hold an ebb and flow tray at a comfortable working height and drain it cleanly between feeds. Hydroponics UK stocks G-Tools aluminium grow tables from 0.52 by 0.52 m up to 2 by 1 m. Bare tables start at £108, and the popular 1.1 by 1 m table with mounting bracket is £209. Add an automatic ebb and flow irrigation kit to flood and drain the tray on a timer. The frame supports a flooded tray without flexing.

Choosing a Grow Table for Your Ebb and Flow System
A grow table is the stand that holds your ebb and flow tray off the floor. It carries the weight of the tray, the plants, and the flood water without flexing. The right table puts your canopy at a working height. It keeps the tray level so it drains evenly. It also leaves room beneath for the reservoir. G-Tools build their tables from aluminium, so they resist the constant damp of a hydroponic room.
Start by matching the table to your tray. The tray size sets the table size, so a 1.1 by 1 m tray needs a 1.1 by 1 m table. Next decide whether you want a bare frame or a table with the mounting bracket fitted. The bracket holds the tray firmly and stops it shifting when flooded. To automate feeding, add the matching ebb and flow irrigation kit. It then floods and drains the tray on a timer.
The G-Tools Grow Table Range Explained
We stock six table sizes, each available as a bare frame or with a mounting bracket. The table below compares the popular options against the automatic irrigation kits that pair with them.

| Aluminium Grow Table 0.52 by 0.52 m | Bare frame | Small tents and propagation | Fits a 0.52 by 0.52 m tray | £155 |
| Grow Table 1.1 by 1 m with Mounting Bracket (Matt's Pick) | Table plus bracket | Most home grow rooms | 1.1 by 1 m tray, bracket fitted | £209 |
| Grow Table 2 by 1 m with Mounting Bracket | Table plus bracket | Larger flowering canopies | Fits a 2 by 1 m tray | £411 |
| Automatic Ebb and Flow Irrigation Kit 1.1 by 1 m | Irrigation kit | Hands-off flood and drain | Pump, timer and fittings | £175 |
Matt's Pick: Grow Table 1.1 by 1 m with Mounting Bracket
Best for: a standard 1.1 by 1 m grow room setup
Why we rate it: the 1.1 by 1 m size suits most home tents. The fitted bracket holds the tray steady through every flood cycle. The aluminium frame shrugs off the damp.
Price: £209
How to Size and Set Up Your Grow Table
Sizing is simple once you know your tray. Pick the table that matches your tray footprint, then check it sits level on your floor. A tray that tilts will pool water at one end and leave roots dry at the other. Use a spirit level across both axes before you fill the tray. Allow space underneath for the nutrient reservoir. It needs to sit lower than the tray so water drains back by gravity.
Think about access too. Leave at least 30 cm of clear floor around the table so you can reach plants and service the pump. The smaller 0.52 by 0.52 m table suits a propagation corner. The 2 by 1 m table fills a full grow tent. To automate the feed, fit the matching irrigation kit. Set the timer to flood for around 15 minutes per cycle.
I always tell growers to buy the table with the mounting bracket, even if it costs a little more. A loose tray on a bare frame shifts when you flood it. A shifting tray spills nutrient on the floor. The bracket locks everything in place. Get the table dead level first, because no irrigation kit can fix a tray that tilts.

Frequently asked questions
Match the table to your ebb and flow tray footprint. A 1.1 by 1 m tray needs a 1.1 by 1 m table. We stock six sizes from 0.52 by 0.52 m up to 2 by 1 m.
The bracket holds the tray firmly so it cannot shift when flooded. We recommend it for any system with automatic flooding. A bare frame works if you flood the tray by hand.
Yes, every G-Tools grow table uses an aluminium frame. Aluminium resists the constant damp of a hydroponic room and will not rust like steel over time.
It floods and drains the tray on a timer without you lifting a finger. The kit includes a pump, timer and fittings sized to match your tray. Add the kit that fits your table.
The table is the stand only; the ebb and flow tray is bought separately. Pick a tray to match your chosen table size from our ebb and flow tray range.
Leave at least 30 cm of clear floor around the table for access. You also need room beneath for the reservoir, which sits lower than the tray to drain by gravity.
Build the rest of your setup around the table. Pair it with ebb and flow trays, the right grow lights and proper ventilation and filters.
