would this container hold water or is there holes in it? I'm planning to use it as a garden pond

It will hold water. We got them to use under our elevated feeders for our very sloppy drinking dogs.

There are no holes in this storage container, I think it would work well as a small garden pond. Good idea, never thought about using one or teo for that. Tks for the great idea.

As long as the containers are not cracked or damaged they would hold water because there are no holes in them.

I do not know how many gallons can this hold/it does not have drainage holes at the bottom but I guess if you use as a small fish pond it could work,hope this would help to answer your question.

Not exactly. I use it as a pond for my fish and have to do weekly water changes. I will tell you that it certainly leaks, not a ton but enough that there is water outside everyday. I caulked around it though that still doesn't help much. I am going to need to find a solution before it gets too bad.

I actually periodically wet outs to keep the composting going at a satisfactory rate (though, undoubtedly this is needed because I live in Southern California) as water/moisture escapes very easily via the many holes. We missed our usual heavy-to-torrential spring rains here (drought!) so I can't say what would happen under those conditions, but I seriously doubt you would have any issues. The bottom is open (it is a roll of material) and the sides are very well perforated.

I am setting pots in mine, but I checked and it holds 9 gallons of water. It does have a drain hole in the center so you can remove the plug if you want it to drain.

Item should really only be used as a water table as there is no cover to protect sand. Also, there is no drain but easily emptied by just tippping it over onto lawn (when filled with water only, no sand of course).

I have had it for about a month and it has rained on it several times actually. The water just drains through. It seems to be holding up well, but I would think over time it might dry rot or have others problems if left out for several seasons in a row. I will put it inside in the Winter.

No holes in bottom there are three screws that attach base to cylinder. I keep small amount of 409 in mine and there's never been a leak -- I have three. But, check the seam that runs along the side. I returned one because in two small areas it appeared the adhesive wasn't holding.

Mine sits under tabled so I have very little water accumulation, recesses are shallow and would sun dry quickly. Being a cast stone you could drill but be carful of cracking while drilling. If water collection may be a problem I would suggest grinding a drain groove into top edge to allow drainage. Checking mine the recessed area holds less than 2 cups of water. pole support already has bottom drains. I hope this info helps

I *think* so but am not sure. The base is pretty thick sturdy plastic so it *should* hold water but I'm not sure if it's completely airtight. Sand is denser than water so it would be better to fill it with sand. After we filled ours with sand I don't recall seeing it leak. A bag of sand is pretty cheap from Lowe's.

Yes. it does have little holes and should not be used as a device to protect against water leaking onto something!

Yes it can hold liquid. That's what it is designed to do. There are no holes but they can easily be drilled.

This product is not designed to hold water. It has zippers that allow it to unfold in to a reserve area for garbage. When lined with a proper garbage bag it is wonderful. Considering it as a water reservoir is not very bright....perhaps one should read the product description??????????????????

I would personally just use those 5 gallon jugs for holding water. The container serves it's purpose, but the seal is not rubber. It's some foam textured seal.

No it doesn't have any holes so the water will pool on the top and make the cover sink onto the waters' surface especially if its low. It still works well though.

Since the base has a "plug" I fill mine with water. Also I drove a metal rod in the ground right next to it and used a zip-tie to secure together. Works out great. If you put this near a pool the water in the base should be enough.

I think so. It has a hole in the bottom that you screw into a platform. I tested putting water in it and it didn't seem to leak through.
