Borrowing from the designs posted in this thread, PVC Tray Holder For Intex Metal Frame Pool (I Should Patent This!)!) This is the variation that I ended up with. This was an easy, cheap diy pool project that anyone could do in an hour or so. My version has a non removeable tray, that is simply an old storage tote lid, cut to fit, and zip tied to the PVC table frame. With it being zip tied, it won't hold water, and, the PVC frame provides a raised edge to keep items in place.
