They will hold 24 four-inch pots and can be heaved around and set down with a satisfying thump. Most of the plant trays you come across are thin black plastic that break after only a season or two of use.  These trays you can practically stand on, though I wouldn&#8217;t recommend such cavalier treatment of a useful thing.  They can stand up to freezing cold, and long sun exposure doesn&#8217;t do much more than roughen the surface.<\/p>\n<p>Mine mostly live out in the garden shed, where I use them for potting up plants and as trays for seedlings, but they&#8217;d be useful for anyone working with beads or small parts that need to be kept corralled.  I think they&#8217;d be great for messy kid play as well. I&#8217;ve run into similar versions of these trays at restaurant supply houses, but the Lee Valley ones are UV stabilized plastic. At $32 each, they&#8217;re not cheap, but my ten year-old trays look a bit funky, but work just fine!  If you&#8217;re going to have something made of plastic, you should at least buy stuff that&#8217;s made to last!<\/p>\n<p> My only whinge about these useful trays is that they don&#8217;t nest very well.  Space is at a premium in my shed, and I simply don&#8217;t have room for them.  Some day, I&#8217;ll get around to building the greenhouse of my dreams, and then I&#8217;ll buy a whole fleet of them!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heavy duty tray for gardening and more<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[38],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14006"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14006"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14006\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14008,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14006\/revisions\/14008"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14006"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14006"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14006"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
