I want to use as a planter. How hard to cut off or and punch holes in the bottom? Actual dimensions please.

Don't know why you would want to use a punch--the material is too thick. Very easy to drill holes through the bottom, though. Maybe 3/8" for your purposes.

It's 30 1/2 inches tall and 20 1/2 in diameter. It could be cut with a saw and holes punched fairly easy. It's some kind of plastic. I cut the top hole so my gutter drain pipe could fit into the barrel.

It is made of a plastic material, I think it would be pretty easy to cut and/or punch holes in it.

The bottom. Is 3 -1/2 inches. The inside because it is a reservoir is only 4-3/4 deep. It is pretty sturdy. I got it to fit in with other planters. This one is functional but not really decorative.

There isn't a hole straight through the bottom. Inside you will find an elevated drainage area where you can put a potted plant with a drainage hole. Works nicely as a hanging planter.

No the bottom is in the shape of a V, its about roughly 8-9 inches deep maybe even 10 inches-its a great size and I get tons of compliments on it-I have 2 very full geraniums planted in it and it looks AWESOME!!

It's a wonderful, good-looking plant holder... that's why I bought a second one earlier this year! Each of the three holders is about a foot across. While it looks pretty sturdy, my advice would be to place a fairly heavy plant on the bottom holder for safety's sake as the bottom support legs do not spread out all that wide. That allows you to place a large plant at the top, which is what I have done on both of mine. A number of friends have commented favorably on our planters and have asked for the name of the manufacturer. Hope this is useful.

Just my opinion, I think maybe getting some garden edging would be better to collect the leaves, or there is flex border material, like the recycled decking, that you could wrap around ground stakes, that may be better suited. This is a great raised bed, I bought two of them, but I am going to use them for vegetable gardening and make mini-greenhouses out of them, maybe do both projects !! :) take care

I cut 3" holes in the foam for our aquaponics garden. We are growinglettuce and it is doing awesome!!

I did not measure it when I first got it, but it is probably about 4 inches too tall for your average fish bowl with gravel in the bottom. It was very simple to alter, however, so I had no problems with it. I simply took my pocket knife, I suppose any knife with a "saw-like" edge would do, and shortened it. The plant is also easily removed if you have a betta that can be harmed by its rough texture. I am very pleased with the product myself, but remember to buy the right size air pump! It is very important to buy the smallest one available if all you are going to filter is a small fishbowl or tank.

If you have a clay type soil (this doesn't work in sand or rocky soil) a hole larger than about 8 inches (which this ends up being) is more or less counter-productive...you don't want dug up (loosened) soil around your post. I loaned my out and can't get it back!

it can be cut down and if you have access to a hacksaw that would be best. I used a serrated knife but it required some work. A hardware store might be able to cut it down to size for you in no time at all. Good luck

I used a very sharp scissor for the garden to cut this. It's a little tuff but I think it works fine. Probably a blade cutter would be successful too. Good luck!

tough to do.It is stainless steel so you will need the right tools. cutting it will compromise the integrity of its hanging abilities since, on the back, it has a protruding frame that wraps around the whole board (kind like a clock has a hole for hanging on nails...picture that, but hollowed out. just a border)

Rough opening needs to be at least 23" X 23". I made mine 23 1/8" and that works fine. I have two in my greenhouse. I do measure close.

My experience is that the 24" wide liner roll fits up to an 18" basket. I measure from one edge of the planter to the other, allowing the tape measure to dip down into the basket, then cut a square that size. I stuff the square I cut into the basket, and where the mat naturally folds in order to fit down into the basket, I cut slits and overlap the liner. I do this until the liner is relatively smooth in the basket, then cut off whatever is poking above the basket line, which is more than just a little bit. BUT, all those corners and waste pieces are great in the bottom of my clay pots and serve to (1) retain moisture, (2) take up space in deep pots with shallow rooted plants (saves potting soil), (3) lightens the pot, and (4) keeps the dirt from escaping the drain hole in the bottom of the pot. I'll use every scrap of that roll each spring.

You will have to drill holes yourself, as I will need to do when mine arrive Monday. I grow wheat grass and the roots need to reach the bottom tray for daily uptake of nutrient rich water. Pre-punched black trays are no longer available in my region and the blank standard trays are too flimsy to take drilling the same number of holes--they just crack and split!

I have a solid plastic strawberry planter, and I use pieces of landscape fabric to block the holes I don't want to use. Works perfect!!

I was going to get one of these, then I came across an unused 24" plastic planter in the garage. Flip it upside down and it works fine as a pooper stooper thingy. Easier to stow out of the way too, when not in use.Like this, but they're under $10 at Walmart: Novelty 16242 Countryside Planter, White, 24-Inch Length (Discontinued by Manufacturer)
