Rubber Beds grow
I was originally going to make the beds out of OSB board and 2x6 or 2x8 which I already purchased the wood.
My Grow spot is on the DL and no one knows what I have behind the closed doors. So I can not get anyone to help me build the box. I tried to do it by myself but I can not hold the wood and screw it....
I was going to do a bed 4x10 I have Rubbermaid containers that are 3ft 7inch by 1 ft 10 inches. I want to take 5 or take 6 of these Rubbermaid's put them up on milk crates and fill with the Sunshine. They will easy hold 6-7 inches of soil i think it should work no problem just want to check with you guys before I go through with this.
Please if you have any better IDEAS PLEASE SHARE 
Thanks in Advanced GL420

You can always tack up bits of scrap wood to wedge your bed in place while you screw it together. Or use vehicle cargo tie-downs as band clamps. (This one time at band clamp... ) Do you have any woodworking tools, like c-clamps? It is flea market season around here anyway, and that is a CLASSIC flea market item- crappy made-in-China clamps and bungee cords.
Rubbermaid tubs will work too. Are you planning on putting in drain holes? You should lay down a thick tarp under the milk crates to protect the floor either way. Preferably with the edges wrapped around 2x4s so that it's like a catch basin.

Stink I'm shot I have all intensions of going into a box W/ a decent amount of clones which are set up. I spent the whole weekend party party party. After every party I worked cleaning up that DWC shit till 1-3 am. What a mess that 8 pack is terrible to clean up. I really want to go with the OSB I tried going around the bed with 2x4 and then screwing 2x6 in the side. No good a lot of wasted time and money. So I measured the long Rubbermaid's that go under the bed for storage they ar deep enough. I only want to veg for 10 days tops they are 7" deep and 3 1/2 feet.
I had no intentions of drilling. I want to try to follow Tranobles thread and just water enough for day to day. I took the clones out of the EZ and put them in the Coco 3" pots before they go into the Sunshine #1 which is the same @ 4 just 4 has 5% more perlite.
Right now money is not an option I just want to get this bed operational. I appreciate any of your input. Do you feel that drilling holes is the way to go from the start? I figure I could always add them later....
Thanks GL420
OHhh if you have any other IDEAS besides Rubbermaid's Please share... Thank you

I've got no advice on non-draining beds. But Tranoble was getting great results and if you have a good grasp on that concept, go for it.
If you use OSB I'd line it in plastic just to keep the plants and the glue from coming in contact. Why? Just a hunch.
HAve you priced out actual plastic grow trays? By the time you're done with all the other building hassles, and buying materials, it might have been better just to buy a tray. Although you are urban, and rubbermaids are WAY more stealth to be carrying in and out of your apartment. Your call.

You can try some adhesive like liquid nails or PL200. If you can lay the sheet of OSB flat, glue 2x4 or 2x6 to the sheet, then you can come back the next day and screw it together.
I do not understand what the purpose of the bed is. Is it to keep dirt and water from getting on the floors or is there some other reason.
I would line it with plastic. OSB sucks up water like a sponge.

The HATCH and the STINK is here what a crowd !!!!!!
The best of the best!!!! 
I did it I set up 4 Rubbermaid's Comes out to 6ft10inch Long By 3 1x2 wide should work out Good.... I hope
Hatch Please turn me on to your friend with the Warehouse beds I'm trying that now myself. I'm starting small 60+Clones. I have 30 I just planted. I decided to use the Rubbermaid's already they seem to be fine. Plus I have about 8 MOM's I will be blowing out with them this time around.
Stink I did not add drainage. I went really light with the water just like Tranoble had said to with day to day. You have no advice why? I will drill holes for you LOL  . I was figuring 2 days food 1 day just H20 and alternate back and forth. I want to see how they take to the beds and the HPS before I hit them with any NUTES.
Hatch I would love to hear your friends feeding schedule and see how he is doing with the set up. I have the CO2 and will be turning it on in a day or so after I get the rest planted hopefully tonight. I have about 6 inches of soil in each which should be sufficient I hope to go to flower in the next 5-7 days...
I will post up some picks after I set up all the babies in the beds.. HATCH Aero is next I just jumped back in and tried the whole DWC and man was that a headache.
Come on STINK don't bail on me and HATCH any info would be great Thanks a lot

McD I use them to flower the plants in I put 15 clones in one Rubbermaid with Sunshine soil. There is a thread on this forum were the guy received excellent results. Check it out search 3Lbs you should find it.....

I'm not gonna bail, lol, but I'm also not going to tell you what to do about the holes. I've seen bed growers run without them. You've got experience; you should be able to tell if there is trouble with PLENTY of time to fix it.

Yea I saw that in tranoble's thread, but as far as I could tell he was growing directly in the bed (not in a rubbermade in the bed). That is why I did not know the purpose of the bed, I must be missing something.
Good Luck, I will be following along.

Here is a side shot they are up on shipping crates.They are all screwed to the crates with one screw and piece of duck tape covering the screws. "NO RUST" CO2 getting propane tank tomorrow for unit. Also putting in 35-50 more clones tomorrow. These rubber maids are better then I thought....
