What do I do about drainage

I used a power drill with a 7/8 spade bit and drilled 5 holes in each section for a total of 15 drainage holes. I also put a layer of small rocks on the bottom. Worked perfectly.

You'll have to use a drill to make holes. It doesn't come with drainage holes.

The volume of the container is good. You could just use rocks at the bottom to facilitate water running out of the soil. I drilled a few holes at the bottom of the container (it was very easy) and have had no problems. I like the container very much. It is light and holds a lot of soil.

I drilled holes in the one I purchased. Was not too tough to drill through at all.

I drilled holes in the bottom and put about an inch of small gravel in the bottom. I planted lettuce, broccoli, radishes, and carrots - doing well.

I just drilled several holes along the bottom for drainage. These planters are high quality and look beautiful...

I haven't noticed any drainage problems. Be aware that, by design, these A/c units retain some water which is then splashed by the fan onto the coils to augment the cooling process. This causes a splashing sound to be heard when the fan turns on.

Yes, the drainage holes are pre-drilled, but they're not that big. I imagine you can cover them with glue, tape or whatever waterproof material you'd like to use - even a lining of aluminum foil might do the trick.

The one I received does not have any sort of drainage spout/hole.I have go tip it over to empty it.

Hello, yes there is a drainage plug. I find that in heavy rains, though, I need to tilt the container on the plug side to release the extra water.

Their are no drainage holes. We got it to use with our beer clubs portable tap system. It works great!

There are holes in the bottom of this colander. Drains well. Hope this helps in your decision. We are pleased with this product.

As far as I'm concerned, there are zero drainage issues. The sink won't be completely dry after it drains, but no sink is. There is no standing water, if that is your concern.

I have a pot inside this pot so I don't know about drainage. It does have an insert to work for drainage and does not need a saucer.

Hi, How we drained ours is there is a plug like thing on the bottom of the pool on the outside by your pump, we unscrewed it a little at a time to prevent the yard from flooding... Hope that helps, btw do not leave pool empty without taking it apart we made that mistake and the wind picked it up off the ground

If you were successful in doing that, how would you deal with the drainage holes that are built in to the product? It seems like you might need a way to address that. Food for thought.

if you have the right size, the unit comes in different sizes for different diameter pipes. if you can't clear the drain with the unit, youhave a major drainage problem.

Use cold water. When the hot cannister rains the inlet valve opens to mix hot and cold water. Most people plumb the drain with low temperature tubing and PVC. Your drain tubing could melt with hot water.

There are holes for drainage. I put coffee filters over the holes before putting new the soil in.

No. I used coir matting in the bottom and sides of mine and put the potting soil in over the matting so I'd get good drainage. I'd be hesitant to use anything like a tray because of the drainage.

No drainage system necessary. The bottom is open so it just drains into the ground or whatever you have it sitting on.

There are slats in the bottom for drainage. We have used them for over a year planted with small palm trees, flowers and herbs. Perfect for our patio garden.
