Does anyone have any experience of these trays?

[barratt_sab]

I could have really done with something to put a super on today to catch the drips. My dogs would prefer that I left them to drip all over the kitchen floor, but hey, it's a dog's life.

Does anyone use anything like this:

If so, is it any use?

Thanks.

Never used a tray. I just use overlapping clingfilm on the surfaces I'm working on. Then I roll it up when I'm done. All the mess ends up on the clingfilm. Absolutely no wiping required. I use a spare clean crownboard to put the supers on.

I use newspaper, several layers....and environmentally friendly as it can rot down in the compost

Any garden centre sells trays 2' square! cheap and cheerful and can double as an emergency roof as they are about 4" deep.

i use one i purchased from Park Bees of Blackheath, it slightly cheaper at £7:45 plus Vat

i use it to transport honey supers in the back of my carpeted hatch back car and also when uncapping as a drip tray

and yes have used one as a roof with two bricks to keep it from blowing away

I use recycling boxes as supplied by local authority. I clear the super lift out the frames and quickly transfer to box replacing lid. If you are strong enough and careful with stacking it will hold 22 SN1 frames.

I use gravel trays from garden centre, stops the sticky running everywhere, but you will need more than one, last one I bought was less than a fiver

I believe a certain company markets them on the basis that they stop domestic disputes. I use one every time i borrow Mrs Bloggs car and it's never worked for me?

Thanks all - it looks like there might be (several!) cheaper options to be had.
