Large Blacksmith Barrel Planter Plant Pot Tub Indoor Outdoor With Handles 50cm

I needed something big and sturdy, and less likely to blow over and break (as its predecessor did) to house a six foot conifer. This fits the bill perfectly. I heated a screwdriver to make holes in the base, put some broken bits of the previous pot in the bottom, and we were ready to rock n roll, with the addition of extra compost. Looks great, the handles on the side make moving it easier, and I'm hoping the conifer will thrive as it will conserve moisture better than the old pot. Very pleased.

Had to purchase a much larger tub for a small corylus contorta which had an unfortunate encounter with a fox - this was delivered in good time and good order, fits perfectly, had prepped and easy to drill out drainage holes, it's sturdy and has convenient carry handles. Can't fault it - half the price of something you'd buy in a local garden centre. It's great.

We liked the sturdiness of the pot, considering it is fairly light to handle. Put our own drainage holes into it, and now it’s looking good with a beautiful red Acer inside ,very pleased with it .

A superb tub. Very robust and excellent value. I used 2 x 40l bags of compost/potting soil to add to the soil already attached to the replanted, pot-bound, tree. I may need to top up when it settles. Note that it is (obviously) very heavy when full. I could barely lift it - even with the handles. Had to drag it the last few metres.. Also: probably worth drilling some drainage holes before you fill it. There are some handy indentations on the bottom to aid positioning.

Very strong

These were perfect for my acers, strong and large and a great price

I used this to replant a pot bound Japanese Maple. Although it’s plastic I think it looks excellent and very effective. It’s also lightweight so that makes moving it a lot easier. Drilled a few holes in base to allow for drainage - suggest you place a piece of wood underneath to drill in to. Some people on here have cracked their pot by not doing this and pushed too hard…amateurs 🤣. Overall love the pot and great value for money.

My purchase was a week late arriving but now the tubs are here I would like to say that they are well worth the money and look very smart. They will be ideal for my small fruit trees and the design means they shouldn't blow over in the wind .
