Wondering about this again m8.. Will I be able to get this flat inside an 80cm tent do u think?? I'm wondering in particular about my poles which of course occupy some very important millimetres inside the corners!! I'd want it flat for flood and drain.. wondering if I may have to cut the outer lip at the corners of this tray to fit around my poles if i want to make sure the trays flat??

It will lay flat but the corners will be a little off. It won’t fit square between the poles. You could probably shave a few mm off each corner to get it in there straight, which I didn’t think of lol. It really isn’t much.
You might be able to take a heat gun / hair dryer to it and remold the plastic around the pole. Just put something behind it so you don't melt your tent in the process.
@Zaaboot my friend.. this 13mm pipe
Absolutely awful stuff.. stiff as the proverbial board and so hard to work with.. even in short sections.. does it ever straighten out!! Tell me there's a much more flexible alternative in the UK??
I've just bust my flood tap changing the res out.. I may be in very deep doodoos here.. 1 shot at it with gorilla glue and thats that.. if it doesn't hold the flood and drain plants are in trouble.. strangely enough I was trying to remove a section of this fkn 13mm carbon fibre like shit from it at the time

hello mate - that stuff is rock hard. The only tip I have for you sit the pipes in hot water for a few seconds before you work on them. It is the standard irrigation fitting - it is a pain but once it is in it stays put nicely.
What you could do also so you dont have to connect/disconnect anything for any purpose is to have it like this: Pump, pipe, drippers, inline tap, pipe, end stop. This way you can always leave the pump there but use teh tap to either feed the drippers by closing the tap, or open it up to the stopper where you can add a hose or something to drain and clean up etc..does that make any sense at all?
