The 6" net cup bucket lids are great for all hydroponic applications as the mesh pot creates ample aeration for root development.

For ideal results use VS50 or VS10 Viastone grow rocks as your media in hydroponic applications.

Review: Great product! Just make sure you find a bucket that works before you buy a lot of buckets! - These lid-net pots work incredibly well for what I had planned but ran into a small fitment issue when using a bucket from Home Depot (Not the orange buckets with the home depot logo, but a separate bucket purchased from Home Depot in the paint section). The bucket was a 5 gallon paint bucket but the lid was just too small for the fitment. I tried the buckets at lowes and the fitment was perfect! I give this product 5 stars because as long as you find a bucket that it will fit on, the net pot will do exactly what you need it to. Not only that, but net pots like these are perfect for tall plants like tomatoes; You don't have to worry about it tipping the cup over! I will be purchasing more of these as needed. They are a little pricey for what they are but I don't mind paying because they can be reused.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What kind of plastic is it? is it food safe (hdpe/ldpe)?**
A: Polypropylene, aka plastic #5, food-grade safe.

**Q: Do these float in water?**
A: I’ve never checked to see if they float as-is, but once weighted with hydroton it will be too heavy either way. They’re made to fit over the top of common 5 gallon buckets although I do use mine with smaller sizes. They just don’t fit snuggly.

**Q: What is the lip size on these pots?**
A: From outside edge of the net pot to outside edge of the lip is .25"

**Q: will the lid actually seal on the top of a standard 5 gallon bucket?**
A: absolutely not.  it does not fit the inexpensive Argee black buckets from Home Depot & Amazon.  It will fit the Leaktite 5gal, but still not a great seal.  i do NOT recommend these, at all.  someone dumping inventory of improperly sized lids.  STAY AWAY!!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great price on quality lids
*by B***G on August 10, 2023*

This was a great price for 12 net pot lids. They are built solid and do a great job as t intended

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Big enough and they fit the bucket well
*by R***. on May 10, 2025*

They fit the Home Depot and Firehouse Sub buckets with no problem. Used for a hydroponic system which I tried to do for the first time and it worked fine. I did learn if you want to plant afterwards in the soil to remove them before the roots get too long otherwise you will damage the roots. But did a good job growing the peppers and fit the buckets well.
