Where exactly is the drainage hole located? I'd prefer not to drill additional holes and wonder if it will drain if set level (vs. tilted)? Thanks

The drain hole is located on the side about 2-3 inches above the bottom. You will have to pour any remaining water out.

No drain hole in the bottom. We actually used this as a float for our cooler, rather than using it as a cooler alone. Note that the 'top' of this cooler tube is not attached to the bottom.

Hello Jo. Thanks for asking. You can place it at a height equivalent to the length of the tank draining tube. That's why they've given you the draining tube at a certain length, I suppose!But saying all that, my advice to you is to return it if you're in US, as you'll get your money back. It's a piece of junk!!!!

the entire bottom is not slanted toward the drain, only a half inch or so around the drain is rounded/slanted to allow drainage. With this large a sink, it would be better to have a slight slant, that's true. BTW, Franke sinks are made of junk stainless steel, probably from China. I will never buy another.

No it doesn't have a drainage hole. I went and planted in it but will have a hole drilled in the back of his head for drainage for next summer. He looks great in my big aggregate planter with flowers growing all around him.

The base has two wheels in the front. To move it you tilt and roll. However the base cracked when my family tried to move it up the driveway curbside. We are trying to seal the crack with silicone. You are not suppose to have to drain it in order to move it. If you want to drain it you can tilt on its side and drain must of the water and it would be much lighter or you can remove the pole and complete drain.

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.

U would have to dig a huge hole for it. However- I don't know how you could drain it then?!?!? the drain is on the side - I use it a lot! Never realized how dirty my dog gets! She would love it to be "in. Ground"

Are you planning to place this on grass or a paved surface? I placed mine on my potion near my pool so I placed a cloth where there drain holes are. That way it can allow the water to pass through without allowing the dirt out. I am pretty happy with mine and am even thinking of buying more. Good luck with yours!

no, it doesn't have drainage holes but if you want them it would be easy enough to drill holes in the bottom of it - we just had several inches of rain here and the cover leaked BAD! But it was very easy to dump the water out since we hadn't left any of the wood or ashes in it the last time we used the firepit.

You need to have a good area to drain it. We attached a hose to the drain so we could strategically place the water. We also climbed inside to wash the sides and floor, turned it upside down over an outside climbing toy we have in the yard and after a couple of days folded it up for storage. It was a bit of a pain, but about what you'd expect from a pool. I didn't mind doing it and am looking forward to pulling it back out this season.

Hi -- I didn't get the optional drain, I would just tip it over to drain it. I run a foster based dog rescue & I got this for the dogs to play in. I had kiddie pools & they chewed & destroyed them. They tried to chew this also but were not successful in ruining it -- but I assure you it was not for lack of trying. Last summer I had 10 large Chessie/Lab pups & one young Great Pyrenees & on those very hot summer days this was great for my water hounds.

The base of this colander is flat and is suspended between the 3x legs/feet slightly elevating it up from the surface. The base portion contains a bunch of well placed drain holes. I have not experienced any draining problems due to the flat base.

The hole that we drilled is very small. Only enough for the drain. The curve has not posed any problem. No leaking as far as I know.

It has a hose connection so you can set it up to drain that way. I've only used it by emptying the bucket every few days.

I would have to say no. It has a foam handle. There does not appear to be any type of drain holes.

Their is 1 drainage hole at the bottom, drains pretty well just have to tilt a little to drain it all.
