I have purchased a number of these trays and find them to be strong, durable, and do not break down from sunlight. I presently use them to place my smaller pots and transplants into for a multitude of reasons such as watering and movement. With some of my larger pots, i fill the trays with water, set the pots inside and wait until the water is absorbed naturally. I do not usually start with seeds for the cactus and succulents due to the difficulty in germination. The vegetables and flowers do quite well using this combination of heating pad, tray, and the clear dome for germination and transplanting to small individual containers.
On the other hand, the plastic covers are thin, somewhat flimsy, but fit on top of the trays nicely. When starting some seeds this is a nice way to go. I also use a heating pad for a controlled environment inside the enclosed space. The only thing I complain about is that the condensation build-up on the inside of the dome sometimes leaks where the dome lid and the tray meet. Other than these thing, this is a great combination.
These domes are the best! They are high enough to get your plants under when transplanting and work excellent for ventilation. Highly recommend!
Over the years I've notice a perfect fit and a not so perfect. But not a deal killer. You can adjust them and get a pretty good fit. I think the fit issue comes from storage and usage, they just change over time. Still an essential product. Could be cheaper??
I was a little disappointed at the light weight material of these domes. I had one dome crack when I was installing the end vent cover. I sometime clip the domes on the 1020 trays to keep them from blowing off in the wind but these trays crack from the binder clips I use. I like the vents but the domes need to be made from heavier material. I had purchase 3 domes a couple of years ago and was very pleased with the quality.
these domes are sturdy and are able to be vented if necessary, but keep the moisture in as needed for tender sprouts
I always start my tomatoes from seed, and these domed trays are perfect for that. Nice quality - should last a number of years.
When these showed up, I thought good enough quality not to break right away. Vent design looked good. Then I placed on a 1020 tray and they don't fit. The perimeter slides around as it is slighty small. I can make it work but all the perimeter seedlings are without space as the sides of the dome almost lineup with the center of perimeter seedlings. I guess I could plant seeds more central but just another flawed design.
These do NOT snugly fit a 1020 tray, the vents are a joke and they are so flimsy that I am currently shopping for replacements after having received them less than 30 days ago. there is no way these will survive more than 90 days of use without failing in some manner
These do not fit snugly on a 1020 tray. I have tried both domes I bought with several trays hoping it was just a fluke molding but they just will not sit properly no matter how much I try. The vents are also difficult to snap into place without tearing the dome. It got the two instead of 0 because it does still hold some humidity in even though it drips out of the tray from the improper fit.
I just received a shipment of 20 of these
They are junk
YOu have to put the little humidity doors on yourself, and, even after trying to get them on really well, they feel like they are just going to fall off.
The entire shipment I received was slioghtly warped and did not fit the standard trays.
Buy the more expensive but woth it domes.
