Solid Oak Half Wooden Barrel 28" Garden Planter EX Whiskey Barrel

Product Information

With its dimensions of 45cm high and 75cm wide, this half barrel planter offers generous space for various plants, including shrubs and trees. Its generous dimensions make it a versatile option for creating captivating floral displays or adding greenery to outdoor spaces. If you choose to use the Temesso Wine Barrel as a planter, you will need to make drainage holes in the base. 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. Plastic barrels tend to be cheaper than wooden ones, but naturally they don’t have the history or charm of being a real storage barrel. They are, however, very durable and won’t rot. Also, it’s possible to find plastic half barrel planters made from recycled plastic, which is something to look out for. Planter Size Plastic barrels can look surprisingly like the real thing, especially from a distance. They are often made from resin, or another type of plastic, and are moulded to look like wooden barrels with metal belts.

What sets this style apart from the standard Temesso barrel planters are the rusting metal bands and darker, uneven tones of the wood; these features give the barrel an older, more traditional appearance. The dimensions are 64 cm wide by 45 cm tall, resulting in a large planter with a very generous capacity. It may be too large for some smaller gardens, but if you’ve got enough space you’ll be able to plant bulbs, flowers, shrubs and even small trees. Please note that these barrels are up to 20 years old and will be weathered. They may also contain paint or markings from the distillery which adds to the character of the barrels.

Large Oak Half Whisky Barrel Planter

As mentioned, planters made from wooden barrels have often had a previous life storing wine, whiskey or some other liqueur. They tend to be made from oak, although could be constructed from other types of wood as well. With a choice of two colours, the Stewart Blenheim Half Barrel is a great option no matter the colour scheme of your outside space. Larger barrels, with a diameter of approximately 70 cm, are perfect for shrubs and small trees. Smaller barrels, with a diameter of approximately 50 cm, can be used for herb gardens and flower beds. The downside of wooden barrels is that the wood will require treating annually and they can be susceptible to rot.

Large barrels (around 70 cm in diameter) are best for planting shrubs and trees . Smaller barrels, with a diameter of around 50 cm, are better suited to small gardens. They’re a great option for planting herbs and flowers. Despite looking like part of a wooden barrel, this planter is in fact made from recycled plastic. It therefore has the charm of a traditional planter, but can be left outside all year round without the fear of applying waterproofing treatments or dealing with wood rot. They are very lightweight (generally weighing around 1 – 2 kg) and require no maintenance. Plus, if the plastic used is UV-resistant then the barrel should not fade in the sunlight and will maintain its colour over the years.For reasons of hygiene and safety, personal grooming products, cosmetics or items of intimate clothing cannot be returned. Used to store Scottish whiskey in a previous life, this cask has plenty of character and history tied up with it, giving it a bit more life than a plastic replica model; however, there are some downsides to this as well. These barrels are watertight and can be used as small ponds and water features, or they can be used as planters. Much like with wooden barrels, if using as a planter you will likely need to drill holes in the base for drainage – they don’t tend to come pre-drilled.
