GARDEN HALF BARREL PLANTER BLACK PLASTIC 50CM DIAMETER - X 2 PLANTERS

Product Information

Keep in mind that the larger the barrel, the heavier it will be. This is particularly true for wooden barrels. Plastic barrels are significantly lighter than wooden barrels, no matter their size. Depending on the age of the wooden barrel, the rusticity of its appearance can vary. Some look relatively new, whilst others have been darkened by age or show signs of rust on the metal rings holding them together. To some, this is aesthetically desirable, but others may prefer the structural reassurance of no visible rust. It’s straight forward to drill holes in either wooden or plastic planters. This is usually possible using a cordless drill and a drill bit. If you want to add some character to your garden, a half barrel planter is a great choice. Not only do these make the perfect home for shrubs, flowers and herbs, they’re also eye-catching features in their own right ( and they can often be used as mini ponds too!). Prepare to have your mind blown. A half barrel planter is half a barrel used as a planter. I know, I know – who would have thought it? The idea is that you fill the half barrel with soil and then plant whatever your heart desires in the barrel, for a super rustic and charming garden decoration. However, the opportunities are endless with half barrel planters and they can also be used as water features, mini ponds, storage units, or essentially whatever else you can think of. There’s nothing better than a versatile garden feature.

Furthermore, like our first planter the Marko half barrel has a hole, with a 2.4cm diameter drilled into its base, making this the perfect product for planting. This of course means that the planter is not to be used as a water feature, so have a think about exactly what you want your half barrel to operate as before buying.In terms of size, they can range from teeny tiny to extra-large, the latter of which we will be searching for today. It goes without saying that the bigger the planter, the more you can stuff into it, but another advantage of an extra-large planter is its increased durability. Extra-large planters tend to weigh more, therefore fare better in bad weather, and taking a look at the menacing grey clouds outside, I would hazard a guess that we’re in for a pretty stormy spring-summer time this year. Yikes. If you want an authentically rustic barrel planter, with history and charm, you may be swayed towards a wooden option.

5 Best Half Barrel Planters For Your Garden (2023 Review UK)

We think it's fitting that Coopers of Stortford are offering our own set of four, half barrel planters.Despite these issues, I like how this half barrel planter has a hole pre-drilled into the centre of the base, to enable drainage underneath whatever plant you decide to rehome in the planter. This is a design feature which many manufacturers leave out in case customers want to turn their planter into a water feature. But as we have already established, water and this product do not mix particularly well, so the drainage hole is a good addition for green-fingered planters who aren’t bothered about having a water feature. And, with a set of four, you can create your own stunning settings too, marking steps, entrances to pergolas, paths and more. Specification: Material: Plastic , Single hole in centre of base for liquid drainage: yes , Size (Approx): 25 x 49cm
