The Hydroponic Raft Board is an essential component of Deep Water Culture (DWC) hydroponic systems, providing a floating platform to support plants above nutrient-rich water. Designed for hydroponic vegetable production, this lightweight board features pre-cut planting holes that hold net pots or growing cups while allowing plant roots to extend into the nutrient solution.
Manufactured from extruded polystyrene (XPS), our XPS Foam Board for Hydroponics combines lightweight construction, buoyancy, and moisture resistance for use in indoor growing systems, commercial greenhouses, and home hydroponic gardens. The standard board measures 1200 × 600 × 40 mm and features 72 planting holes, with customized board dimensions, hole diameters, and spacing available for different growing requirements.
Whether you are building a new DWC hydroponic growing system or expanding an existing greenhouse, our Hydroponic Raft Floating Board provides a practical solution for organizing plants and supporting efficient cultivation.

Note: Confirm the hole dimensions and compatibility with your net pots before ordering. Actual buoyancy and load capacity depend on board density, plant weight, and system design.
Our Hydroponic Foam Board is made from extruded polystyrene (XPS), a lightweight foam material commonly used for its closed-cell structure and moisture resistance. These properties make it suitable for floating applications in hydroponic growing environments.
The board is easy to handle during installation, replacement, and routine greenhouse maintenance. Its structural performance depends on the selected material density, board thickness, and operating conditions.
A DWC Hydroponic Raft Board serves as a floating support platform, helping keep net pots and plants positioned above the nutrient solution. Plant roots extend through the openings toward the water, where they can absorb dissolved nutrients and oxygen when the solution is properly aerated.
For commercial growers, a consistent board layout can help organize planting positions and simplify crop management across larger growing areas.
The standard Hydroponic Raft Floating Board features 72 planting holes with a nominal diameter of 50 mm. This configuration supports compatible net pots and planting cups used in suitable hydroponic systems.
For different crops and equipment, we can provide customization options for:
Board length, width, and thickness
Planting hole diameter
Hole spacing and layout
Planting density according to crop requirements
Customized XPS floating boards for hydroponics can help growers match their planting platforms to existing DWC channels, growing tanks, and net pot dimensions.
XPS has a closed-cell structure that provides moisture resistance and thermal insulation. In hydroponic applications, these properties can be useful where the board is exposed to nutrient solution and changing environmental temperatures.
However, the board alone cannot regulate the temperature of an entire hydroponic reservoir. Water temperature is also affected by ambient conditions, reservoir design, circulation, and any additional temperature-control equipment.
Our Indoor Hydroponic System Raft is suitable for different scales of soilless cultivation, from small home growing projects to greenhouse installations. The rectangular format allows multiple boards to be arranged over compatible tanks or growing channels.
For larger projects, selecting the right board thickness, planting density, and support arrangement is important for maintaining appropriate flotation and plant spacing throughout the growing cycle.
The Hydroponic Raft Board is primarily designed for DWC and other compatible floating-raft hydroponic systems.
Commercial Greenhouses
Use XPS raft boards to arrange leafy vegetables in larger growing tanks. Standardized planting holes can make transplanting and harvesting more organized.
Indoor Hydroponic Systems
The lightweight floating board can be used in indoor growing installations where nutrient solution, lighting, aeration, and environmental conditions are properly managed.
Home Hydroponic Gardens
For hobby growers, a pre-cut hydroponic foam board provides a convenient way to support multiple plants in a suitable nutrient reservoir.
Educational and Demonstration Projects
Hydroponic floating rafts can help demonstrate soilless cultivation, root development, nutrient delivery, and water-based growing techniques.
Commercial DWC Growing Systems
For farms producing lettuce and other leafy vegetables, multiple boards can be configured to match the dimensions of growing tanks and the desired planting layout.
The Hydroponic Raft Board is particularly suitable for crops commonly grown in DWC systems, including:
Lettuce, including romaine and butterhead varieties
Spinach
Kale
Pak choi and other leafy greens
Basil, mint, and selected culinary herbs
Young strawberry plants, when the system and support arrangement are suitable
Crop selection should account for mature plant size, root development, planting density, and cultivation time. Leafy greens are commonly suited to raft-based DWC systems, while strawberries and other fruiting crops may require additional support and more specialized growing conditions.
When sourcing Hydroponic Raft Boards for a commercial project, material consistency, cutting precision, and compatibility with existing equipment are important purchasing considerations.
G&N offers the following options based on your project requirements:
Factory-direct supply: Source hydroponic growing components directly from the manufacturer.
Customized cutting: Request board dimensions and hole layouts suited to your growing system.
Standard and custom configurations: Choose the standard 1200 × 600 × 40 mm board or discuss project-specific requirements.
Bulk order support: Arrange supply for greenhouse construction, hydroponic equipment integration, and farm expansion projects.
Sample availability: Request a sample to check fit and installation before proceeding with a larger order.
For project quotations, buyers can provide their required board size, hole diameter, hole spacing, estimated quantity, and intended growing system.
A Hydroponic Raft Board is a floating platform used to support plants in suitable hydroponic systems, particularly Deep Water Culture (DWC). Planting holes hold net pots or growing cups while plant roots extend into the nutrient solution below.
Our product is specified as extruded polystyrene (XPS). This lightweight foam material has a closed-cell structure that provides moisture resistance and buoyancy. Buyers should confirm the material grade and request supporting documentation for any specific compliance requirements.
The standard size is 1200 × 600 × 40 mm, with 72 planting holes and a nominal hole diameter of 50 mm. Customized dimensions and hole layouts may be available for different projects.
Yes. Customization can include planting hole diameter, spacing, layout, and overall board dimensions. Provide your net pot measurements and desired planting density so the board can be specified for your application.
Yes. The board is designed for floating-raft applications in compatible DWC systems. The tank dimensions, nutrient solution level, aeration method, board thickness, and plant load should be considered when planning the complete system.
Common crops include lettuce, spinach, kale, pak choi, and selected herbs. Other crops may be possible depending on their root systems, mature size, spacing needs, and the design of the growing system.
XPS has a closed-cell structure and generally offers good moisture resistance. However, long-term performance depends on material quality, cutting and handling, exposure conditions, and the specific product formulation.
The supplied product information lists RoHS certification. If RoHS compliance is a purchasing requirement, request the relevant declaration or test documentation to confirm that it applies to the exact product and material being supplied.
Yes, samples are listed as available. Request a sample to evaluate the dimensions, hole fit, material characteristics, and compatibility with your existing hydroponic equipment before confirming a bulk purchase.
Contact G&N with your required board dimensions, hole diameter, hole spacing, order quantity, and intended application. This information will help us assess the appropriate configuration and prepare a quotation.
