Floating Raft Grow Board 120x60cm XPS with Round and Square Holes for DWC Duct Systems

Floating Raft Grow Board 120x60cm XPS. A raft board has to float level, insulate the water and survive being lifted every week. Also, XPS closed cell foam does all three at a weight one person can manage. This board is cut to 1200 by 600 mm with your choice of round or square holes.

Key Features of the floating raft grow board

1. Board of 1200 x 600 x 30 mm drops straight onto standard tank sizes.
2. Round or square holes, cut to the spacing your plugs use.
3. Closed cell XPS will not soak up water or lose buoyancy.
4. White face reflects heat, keeping the root zone cooler in summer.
5. Light enough that one worker can lift a loaded board alone.
6. Reused across cycles, so cost per crop keeps falling.
7. Trimmed on site with a knife if a tank is not quite standard.

Floating raft grow board Specification

Where the floating raft grow board is used

Deep water culture tanks in home gardens, market gardens and teaching greenhouses growing lettuce, basil and other fast leaves.

Installation and System Integration

Float the board on the aerated tank, push plugs into the holes so the base touches water, then top up as roots descend. At harvest the whole board lifts out and a fresh planted one takes its place.

Why Choose GNFORTUNE

Both hole shapes come from the same sheet. As a result, a mixed house can order one board for net pots and another for sponge without doubling stock. Sheets are cut to order, meaning odd tank sizes cost no more than standard ones. You can read more about the background of this method on Deep water culture.
