Cup holder drip tray?

[laxation]

I was alarmed at the price of drip trays, so to DIY one I thought of using cup holders like this one (https://www.bunnings.com.au/pinnacle-pegboard-can-holder_p2760303)

I just bought an old keezer with taps on either side of the front - kind of like this: [` `]
So I would need two small trays, or one ridiculous 70cm one (which would probably cost more than the fridge did!)

For those who have dripped already, is a cup holder like this enough? I don't know how much dripping we're talking here... obviously it won't catch someone knocking over a drink, but I figure with a red solo cup or similar in there, it will catch a fair bit and be real easy to clean up.

Take a look at the kingchrome magnetic tool holder from Bunnings. That's what I use, it is wide enough for 3 taps, pending on spacings, and you can move it, or pull it off for emptying and cleaning.

I intend to get a wider stainless one for my fridge eventually, but this does the job well.

It seems anything made in SS has a premium, even more so when it's specifically beer related. However end of the day most of us (note this doesn't include me I have a few keg dispencing pieces of equipment) build these once, buy once cry once. I'll be saving my pennies for a good while to pay for the accessories on my new keezer. Better to squirrel the pennies than have to replace stuff down the track.

I use this for my drip tray.

You just need to buy an end cap for it, and I'd recommend putting a tap or something on it for drainage (though not necessary).

Doesn't look very pretty, but it works well, all depends where you're using it, it doesn't look out of place in my garage.
