With the right drill bit, is it possible for me to drill drainage holes myself?

We ordered two and I am going to drill as well. I don't think it should be a problem. The look amazing and they are so light weight!

I still have not used it yet but I believe so...it definitely needs drainage to use with live plants.

No,I had to drill holes in mine to give it drainage. Don't know if you are an avid gardener (I am), but you might want to think about the extreme difficulty of planting in something without holes. I have never successfully kept anything alive that way. You're better off with a pot that has holes and a dish underneath it.

It should be easy. Use a jig saw the opening you need. The basin is made of a strong plastic but can be cut easily. Put pipe next basin where you want hole and trace a line with white crayon around pipe. Start with a drill hole size of you blade. Follow your trace line

Maybe, but you might want to pre "drill" holes using a nail or something similar

I forgot to mention that I drill 3 - 5/8" holes in the bottom for drainage when I use them outside...

Not without a hole saw. The basin itself is solid without any openings, however you can cut holes to feed your drain pipe through. The advantage of not having pre-drilled holes allows you to customize the basin for your needs (i.e. if you need multiple feed pipes into the basin from different angles).

Yes. They have punch-out drain holes, but they're really big - about an inch in diameter. I didn't want to lose that much water so quickly, so I drilled smaller holes. If you do use the punched-out holes, you'll need something to cover them to prevent losing soil - maybe a paper coffee filter.

With a drill. I don't think the size of the holes matter as long as there are enough for them to breathe and allow air circulation if the other sides are occluded for some reason.

Yes. Just wait until you get the tap before you drill the hole... To make sure your bit is the same size... There are large washers included

Yes, this will work better than a hole saw. Just punch a center point first to avoid the "walking" effect when drilling.

Yes you should be able to without drilling I see no reason why you couldn't

My husband says yes it could be drilled through. He also said to get a good bit.

Yes, it's possible to do so as long as you run the drill slowly and take enough time to do the job properly. Move the unit back and forth several times every 6 inches and pull the end free of the vent after every couple of feet. It might help also to be running air thru the vent as you're cleaning. I used my shop vac with the hose reversed. Messy on the outside of the house. . . . but it did the job

yes. you need impact type drills which fit into a hexagonal chuck. They are very common.

If the chuck is adjustable to secure the bits, sure. I think you would be better off with a drill, but...

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!

There is plenty of room to "drill" additional holes, but not with ordinary drills.You must punch the holes with a special punch that fits into a 1/4" diameter pilot hole that can be drilled. The punch can be rented from a plumbing supply house. The sink material is stainless steel which is difficult to drill.Maybe the sink supplier can provide the correct number of holes.
