WHISKEY BARREL HALF CASK - GARDEN PLANTER TUB POND

Really pleased with my whiskey barrel. Looks great. I am using it for a pot bound hebe shrub, so hopefully it will like it’s new home. Like others have said it does smell of whiskey still. Also had some writing and a date 2002 on it which I liked. Would not hesitate to buy another barrel from this site. DPD delivered 13th, 3 days earlier than estimated.

The media could not be loaded.  Really pleased with price, delivery and the barrel. Just unsure if I can treat outside of barrel to bring out more natural wooden features as all my garden furniture is wooden and barrel looks alittle dull compared to them. Also unsure if there is anythiny you can put on metal bands to freshing them up. Gave barrel a clean when arrived and filled up straight away took about 24 hours and then it was water tight but this may take longer in some cases. Updated 12/7/22 contacted seller to ask if I could use wood oil on outside of barrel, seller messaged back very quickly and said it was fine so i treated outside of barrel up dated picture wood has turned lovely and added some richness to it so much better. Put second coat of wood oil, wood has gone lovely rich dark colour looks great

The barrel came with a warning not to let it dry out; it was pretty much dry when it arrived! However, we hammered the hoops back in place and filled it up anyway. It's already pretty much holding water (just a few hours) and we're halfway to a simple water feature. If you buy one and the hoops are loose - don't panic!

it's perfect for our roses. If you use it for plants, don't forget to drill some holes in the bottom .

Used as a plant pot for a medium sized bush which needs special soil.

it was a present , person who received it was overjoyed, liked it a lot

I bought my first barrel from this company in summer 2021. The quality was excellent. On opening the packaging the smell of whiskey nearly knocked me off my feet! Since then, I've bought 3 more. They are brilliant value for money and in great condition.

Really good half barrel. Really, really well packaged and pain free delivery. But! Do some research. I now source these from Home bargains for £25
