Quick cooler upgrade

[Wild Bill]

Saw this snap together flooring at Menards the other day. I thought it would make a good drainage grate for my coolers. They’re 1/2” tall. Could stack them two high for more clearance, if desired.

Snap em together. Measure the cooler. Mark. Cut. I used a grinder with a cutting wheel and it zipped through it no problem.

I like it.

I've been looking for something like this. Thanks for posting.

How rigid are they, do they flex at the seams? Could you stack a second inside a bigger cooler to create a shelf/barrier for meat to allow air flow?

Individually they are fairly rigid.
They do flex at the seams without unsnapping.
The top is flat, obviously. The bottom looks like below. I don’t know how much air flow you get in an airtight cooler, but yes you could stack them.

Air flow isn't the best term, but creating separation between the individual pieces of meat in order to avoid a moisture trap where bacteria can grow is the end goal.
