Know before you buy
Yes, they can be used for direct planting. However, because they are vintage metal vessels, we recommend adding a layer of gravel at the bottom for drainage or using a plastic liner to protect the integrity of the metal over time.
Galvanized metal is naturally resistant to corrosion, but as these are vintage pieces, they may develop a unique patina or minor surface oxidation when exposed to the elements. This weathering process is part of their intended aesthetic and character.
No, these tubs do not come with pre-drilled drainage holes. If you plan to plant directly into them, you can easily drill holes into the base using a standard metal drill bit.
Because these are authentic vintage imports, each piece is unique. While the base diameter is consistently 14 inches, the overall height and maximum diameter may fluctuate slightly within the 13.5 to 16.5-inch range.
The handles are securely attached and functional for transport, but we recommend caution when moving the tubs once they are filled with soil and plants, as the weight can become significant.
