Drainage: Do you drill drainage holes in it yourself?

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!

No you don't have to drill a hole on ours. There is a hole in the back at the top right under the lip. We keep ours outside and have it hooked to a timer. Fabulous fountain.

You have to drill a hole. It's easy. I think some reviews cover how to do it.

Yes there is one drain hole. Depending on use of the planter you may want to drill more. That is why I just love this planter because of it's many uses.

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

No, there is no drainage hole. It is a matter of dumping the water out if you use it as a pool; however, without chlorine, it probably wouldn't be a good idea to keep standing water for more than one use.

wet the soil/sand first, and again as you dig your hole. you may need to shovel out some but most should come out with the digger.at least it does work for me ok.

Hi Cheery Girl, Yes, you will have to drill a hole unless you want to sacrifice say a hand sprayer using a previously drilled hole.

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.

Yes. Some of the holes were not completely removed by the hole punch machine, but they were pretty easy to remove to allow for drainage.

Yes, there is a drainage hole. You must put something under the pot to catch the water.

No drainage holes, but the feeder has done well after several days of steady rain. If you wanted to, it probably wouldn't be difficult to drill a few small drainage holes into the floor.

I haven't had any problems with drainage. I just installed and tilted it slightly for drainage

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

Yes, there are 2 plugs on the bottom that you knock out if you want the drainage.

Yes. I originally drilled one hole and after a few weeks it seemed to plug up and the container actually filled with water from our drip system. I ended up drilling 3 holes in bottom where there is a indentation and it drains great..

it has holes for draining a foot or so from the edge of the exterior wall. with that said the holes were located in a portion of raised steel, therefore i drill a couple of additional holes in portions of level steel allowing it to flow as soon as it begins to puddle.
