T,

That's why I went with a heavy screen, these cutting boards are about 3/8" thick and very rigid. Most of the weight should bear straight down and not out. At any rate, it's worth a shot and I will report back. Hmmm, maybe I'll fill it now and see how it acts.

I've used the round tubs with no problem, maybe the shape of the round ones are sturdier but they're about the same gauge poly. They were watered from the top and worked very well. Also I did not have a reservoir and/or screen in the bottom. Maybe this makes a difference. See pic.
