Drainage plugs do they open the bottom of the pot for drainage, or just catch the water?

You can leave them in or take them out. I take mine out so water doesn't stagnate. Very pleased with them.

Yes, there is one drain hole not quite centered in the bottom of the planter. The plug is packed in a plastic bag inside one of the legs. You need to screw it in from the underside of the bottom of the planter to plug the drainage hole.

The bottom is made of the same fabric as the rest of the pot. The fabric is porous enough to allow for drainage of excess water. You may or may not find possible water runoff to be a negative in a balcony installation.

Yes, the have a drilled bottom drainage hole. The diameters are 12 3/4, 9 1/2, and 6 1/4.

Hi Mary - I drilled about 10-12 holes in the bottom of these for that exact reason. The holes are about 1/4" in diameter and they drain just fine. We filled the bottom of the containers with old plant containers first (turned upside down) and then some bark chips and then potting soil. Using the plant containers and bark chips was cheaper than filling them all the way up with potting soil.

The planting tool does remove the plug, and that serves 2 purposes. First you pull the tool out of the hole put the plant in. finally you turn the tool over and the soil falls out ready replace in the hole. For me the best use I've found is for removing deep rooted weeds. Place

You have to ensure water flows out from the bottom hole of. Bottom is the point.

Yes it does. On the end opposite the cord. Two holes allow drainage into plastic catch that is removable and dishwasher safe.

I used everything. You may choose not to use the bottom, but this may not be wise. Depending on how porous your soil is, and in the case of heavy rainfall, without the bottom water could seep up into the outlet, bringing some debris which could clog the outlet. Maybe that is what the makers had in mind. It takes little effort to place the bottom, so just use it.

No they have 4 plugs on the bottom that you can remove for drainage or leave in.

I've been using them for several years and had no trouble with drainage. I did put chunky bark in the bottom (6"), but I don't think that was even necessary.

you have one lid and one divider for each container. The bottom of each container has a bunch of holes for draining so typically the lid is removed from the top of container and placed underneath in order to catch the excess water.

They are not recommended for stand pipe drains. If one would go down the drain, it would be a major clog. As lint blocks the water flow the pressure builds, then water comes out or the trap goes down. So if you choose to use in this manor, Please secure well and check/change often.

The drain is a "poppet" valve with a light spring allowing for automatic opening at low pressure. It's a small diameter opening without threads.

No, there's 4 drainage holes in the bottom, but you still want to tip out water that didn't drain out.

They are not drainage holes - they are handles to lift the chair. There are six drainage holes, four of just under an inch in diameter and two smaller ones. No pooling under my bottom!!

There are no holes/openings in the bottom. I had to drill holes in it for drainage.
