anyone have a trick to pickup run off water from a small tent

Hi everyone, just wondering if any one of you smart ones have figured out a clever way to pickup the run off water from a small tent (I'm using a 2x4).

I was thinking something along the lines as to put a flood table at the bottom of the tent, and then put some type of grid on top of the flood table and put the pots on that grid, that way, any excess runoff will go to the bottom of the flood table. Then maybee using a water pump to pickup the runoff from the flood table.

Anyone has an idea on this?

raise the tray and have a hole where it drains into a bucket. basically, an ebb and flow with no ebb

You can get a hand suction device. I have one for draining oil.

These work great in tents. Just use a dremel to cut off the top 2/3.

A fucking towel.

how about just a regular towel? I like to use my fucking towel for fucking!

place them on a table with a pond liner below, make a hole in it to drain in a res or bucket below the hole. you could use a couple of fittings to direct the water in a hose

Your first reply is the best imho.
I've used the same 5 gal shop vac for the last 10 years & it works as good now as it ever did.

Yes. The wet/dry kind. $20 for a small one at Walmart.

Or put trays under your pots and use a small hand pump to remove water.

how about the largest syringe you can find (60-100ml ?) with a hose extension ?
