Not in any way saying you are wrong, but for the sake of another thought 
train:

Huge numbers of bedding flats are grown on concrete ebb and flow floors or 
solid bottom flood benches, and drainage then becomes a factor of container 
and soil.

As to my wood slat topped benches I dont think there was a drainage problem, 
but on some of them I had the board spacing so that 4 1/2 square pots fitted 
between the boards and hung firmly in place there by the pot rim. This was 
because my benches and my neighbors Labs tail were the same height and he 
could sweep several benches clean just saying hello.
