I’m going to order some Anderson flats this winter. Shipping is expensive on these - if anyone lives in the Atlanta area and would like to go in together to order some please send me a pm

Last time I ordered Anderson flats, I had to get 25 at a time, and shipping was more than the cost of the flats. Still it worked out to less than $10 each, so it was worth it. I still have half a dozen that are empty, so I don't have to re-order, yet.

@Rid, just north of you in Ball Ground, GA, is a griffin greenhouse supply.
here’s their website http://www.griffins.com
“Onliant” is their ordering portal, and has all sorts of Anderson-type sturdy flats in many sizes.
I could be wrong, but I’m thinking if you contacted them with the item numbers you want, you may be able to avoid shipping entirely if drive up and get them.

I was thinking the same thing. I order pond baskets from a hydro store and they wave the shipping.

I was going to order some of the flats also, but just don't need that many and didn't want to buy that many at once, then I'd be forced to get trees for all of them lol
I saw these on sale at the Depot. I drilled a bunch of holes at the bottom, maybe 10 - 20 or so 1/8 inch holes. I love it.

having dug deeper at looking at their products I think the onliant may be their main source of materials now, not other suppliers, could be wrong
if so this one?: https://onliant.griffins.com/hg/viewProduct?rlProdNum=53-3245
it's got gaps...
not ideal exactly...
Ridley, I'm questioning my original assertion, but not where it came from, distributor-wise.
Why does Anderson have the market on the flat?
however, and here's where there's a roll of dimes and a snag on the tracks

i've used this roll twice his late summer..success (the de don't fall out, not equal particle size, ok), not time tested by any means..
I want to line small made wooden

However, I wonder if those cubes are better as you can regulate degrees of air and water in OK, and test it, can drill more, but can't take the fishnets off the pond basket.
unlike anderson flats, I found tonight that hd will definitely let you come pick items up

@TN_Jim yessir. You could definitely drill bigger holes and line with a fabric or screen. I have to line my pond baskets anyway or else all the DE will fall out ??
Also when using these HD totes try and drill into the grooves so that water doesn't just sit and become stagnant in the bottom of it.

Thanks. I looked through their hard goods catalogue and didn’t see anything that had the right dimensions and material.
