I hope no cables are going on that tray. Those snaggy corners are dog rough.

Yea agree a nice Tee would of suited

Basket is so much easier to bend and manipulate, no need for manufacturers bends, cut ends can be filed down easier, bolt cutters and a file is all you need.

Pretty bad installation in fact, sharp edges and not using the manufacturers T's and bends, I would have it taken out and re-done correctly.

Totally agree, so much easier & it looks better too

 

[Mike Johnson]

But will not take the weight that a tray will, horse's for course's as they say and what it looks like above a false ceiling or in a plant room is so important.

Having a laugh ain’t you, manufacturer’s bends would not fit in that situation.

Not having a laugh at all, been in the industry for over fifty years and seen professional electricians make something that will suit the situation without all the sharp angles and edges.
