SUNPACK MEGA-MESH Heavy-Duty Mesh Tray - 10in × 20in - Black - 1in Deep

Low-Profile Open-Mesh Tray for Fodder and Microgreens, in Black

The SUNPACK MEGA-MESH Heavy-Duty Mesh Tray trades a solid floor for an open mesh structure, so water and air move freely through the growing zone instead of pooling against roots. At a low-profile 1in depth, it is built for flat-crop methods, fodder, wheatgrass, microgreens, soil blocks, and rockwool cube propagation, where a shallow, well-drained tray matters more than root volume. The black coloring gives multi-tray operations an easy way to track this tray against others on the same rack.

Reinforced open-mesh construction is engineered to carry a full load of wet media and developing crop without sagging or collapsing, even though the tray floor is mesh rather than solid plastic. Set one of these trays over a solid 1020 bottom tray and the pair becomes a simple flood-and-drain or capillary-watering setup.

Key Features & Benefits

• Heavy-duty open mesh — Reinforced mesh construction handles substantial crop loads while channeling water away efficiently for superior aeration.
• 1in low-profile depth — Ideal for flat-crop growing methods including microgreens, fodder, and soil-block propagation where height clearance matters.
• Standard 1020 footprint — Direct drop-in compatibility with all standard 1020 racks, shelving, and greenhouse bench systems.
• Multi-crop versatility — Suitable for fodder trays, wheatgrass, microgreen substrates, soil blocks, and rockwool cube propagation.
• Food-safe materials — Appropriate for wheatgrass, microgreens, and other edible-crop applications grown directly in the mesh.

Who Should Use This

Microgreen growers, fodder farmers, and commercial propagators who prioritize drainage and airflow over tray depth are the best fit for the 1in MEGA-MESH tray. The low profile keeps stacking height minimal and pairs well with a dome cover for germination.

Compatibility

Fits all standard 10in x 20in 1020 rack and bench systems. Compatible with rockwool cubes, soil blocks, and fine growing substrates; pair with a solid 1020 bottom tray to create a flood-and-drain or capillary watering setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the 1in and 2.3in MEGA-MESH trays?

The 1in version offers a lower profile for flat crops and tighter stacking, while the 2.3in deep version accommodates taller media like soil blocks and deeper rockwool slabs. Both share the same 1020 footprint and open mesh design.

Is this tray food-safe for edible crops?

Yes. SUNPACK MEGA-MESH trays use food-safe materials, making them appropriate for wheatgrass, microgreens, and other edible-crop applications.

Can this tray hold heavy growing media without sagging?

Yes. The reinforced MEGA-MESH construction is engineered to support substantial loads without flexing or collapsing.

Why choose the black version?

The black color supports visual identification and crop-rotation tracking in multi-tray growing environments. Multiple colors are available within the 1in MEGA-MESH line for a complete color-coded system.

How do I set this tray up for flood-and-drain watering?

Set the mesh tray inside or above a solid 1020 bottom tray so the mesh floor lets water pass through while the solid tray holds or drains the reservoir. That pairing is the simplest way to run flood-and-drain or capillary watering with an open-mesh tray.
