High-Quality Half Whiskey Barrels for Versatile Garden Use

I love these half whiskey barrels. They are so good looking, and can be put anywhere, patio, borders, on the lawn. I am a serious wildlife gardener and hence have a huge slug problem. Just by chance I found that the barrels I bought last year were completely slug proof! Echinacea, lupins, asters, salvia, all get totally demolished in my borders but have grown beautifully in these barrels. It looks like the slugs and snails don't like those rusty copper rings around them, they are a great barrier. This year I'll be planting cosmos and sunflowers in my third barrel. You do need to drill drainage holes in them first, unless you live in a very dry place. They are of course completely waterproof otherwise.

Excellent quality, solid wood, really happy with purchase, would definitely buy again

Love them xx

This planter is massive and looks great, if you are thinking about putting small trees or shrubs in it just be aware that it can pop some of the rings as the tree grows. Otherwise it’s great.

 Really fast delivery!
Super amazing whiskey smell also!
This has delivered exactly what I wanted from it a Wildlife Pond.
So strong - no linder needed.

Very tempted to buy another for the front garden 🙌

I love these whiskey barrel planters I will definitely be ordering more

Arrived a few days earlier than expected. 100 per cent pleased with them. Would order again

Very pleased with this large half barrel for our garden and exactly as described. Very good value for money and can recommend. There was an issue with the delivery caused a slight delay, but seller responded immediately and resolved issue quickly.

 Look good, smell great, good size. Got these to put some wisteria in to hopefully eventually cover our not used garage door. Perfect for the job now just have to hope Wisteria is as good 🤞

Better than last one.no splits and bigger and not so rusty bands 5star

Excellent product, Good Value and Delivered on time

Nice, looking barrels

The barrell was as I wanted and should last for years

First of all I liked the smell ( whisky) they look good as well I've replanted my Victoria plum tree in the half barrel now it won't keep tipping over with the wind I'm well impressed

It’s leaking water and I was hoping to make it a small pond. I read online that it maybe fixed by soaking in water. Today is the first day. I am soaking it in water and hoping it will fix itself or I have to return it.

Other than the leaking problem, the barrel is very beautiful and the smell was excellent. I really love it and I do hope it doesn’t leak.

I will come back and re-rate it in two weeks.

Update: it’s normal for it to leak at the beginning and it will stop a day later once it soaked up enough water and expanded

As it says on description

Absolutely love this. Great condition and looks amazing. I would suggest using a liner as after few weeks white substance leaks from wood, killed lot of fish. Since using liner, no problems.

Bought eight half barrels. Most had three metal rings(received one with four rings.)
On two bands had dropped, but managed to shim them back into place. One barrel top ring had dropped and wood splayed which made it impossible to repair(due to being left at delivery depot over weekend. The seller kindly sent us a replacement within two days which was in much better state. Five stars or the service-thank you!

I got this to plant a passion flower up my garage wall, the quality was beyond expectations so I bought another, I gave it a quick rub down and stained the out side, and painted the hoops black. before drilling holes I filled it with water over night it held water without leaking. in my opinion this is very good quality and the price is right no over charging like some do. I am so happy with the barrel I have now ordered two more.

One fine - rustic but fine - other had ring off on arrival - asked for return of that one straight away - that was 9 days ago - still nothing from seller

Growing runner beans

I had an idea what I would be getting with this barrel but to be honest it has far exceeded my expectations. The fragrance of whisky when opening this made me smile with memories of Scotland but I bought it for the purpose of fixing a leaking water feature. As you can see from the picture the barrel is amazing, the water feature is fixed and it looks just awesome. Kind of want these barrels all over the garden now. Writing this review with a soft smell of whisky still in the air. Thank you for such an awesome product. WorldofWayne

A pair of barrels arrived in two deliveries after one was lost in transit. Worth the wait. They are the real deal and just what I needed for use as a bay standard planter. Comms from the owner was first class and a replacement sent out in good time. Wholly recommended.

This one is not in as good shape on arrival as the last one’s I have had.
This is the 5th one I have bought and it was all loose and the rings were loose or off.

Still smelt of whiskey which I’m sure will help plants grow faster. Quality barrel - just make sure you water it to ensure the braces don’t expand & fall off. When full, that doesn’t happen - live it
