Yes, it is the right question; if you have no plastic barrel, it is not easy to plate your dream garden.

GARDEN HALF BARREL PLANTER BLACK PLASTIC 50CM DIAMETER - X 2

It’s one of the best half barrel planters if you’re looking for a large capacity, and is ideal for planting small trees and shrubs.However, the half barrel Oakwood round shape pot is a classic finish look, and you will feel more attractive when planting flowers and leaf trees on this pot. What sets this style apart from the standard Temesso barrel planters are the rusting metal bands and darker, uneven tones of the wood; these features give the barrel an older, more traditional appearance. It therefore has the charm of a traditional planter, but can be left outside all year round without the fear of applying waterproofing treatments or dealing with wood rot. Some maintenance is required as well, such as treating the wood against rot, which should be done yearly. This is good news for those of you who are after a half barrel planter to use as a water feature, but bad news for those who need drainage holes for planting.

The colour is relatively dark, closer to black instead of brown, but there are brass-coloured bands that help lighten the overall look. Given that it’s a real oak barrel, recycled from a Scottish whiskey cask, it doesn’t get much more traditional. After comparing several half barrel planters, my top recommendation is the Strata Sankey Oakwood Barrel Planter. This is worth remembering if you’re aiming to use the half barrel planter as a mini pond or water feature.Measuring a whopping 63cm x 86cm x 43cm, the Barrel Creation planter is the biggest on this list by far and is more than ample in size to be the host for a small tree. If the wood is very dry (as is often the case when the barrel planter arrives), it will have shrunk and there will be gaps for water to leak through.

However, the word ‘cheap’ indicates a sacrifice of quality, which you certainly won’t find with Coopers of Stortford. Small barrels are perfect for herbs, whilst large barrels (with a diameter of around 70 cm) can be used for shrubs and even small trees. Wooden barrels will need to be treated approximately once a year, and they should ideally be covered up in very bad weather. These offer a good compromise between respecting the environment and maintaining the practical qualities of plastic. They are often made from resin, or another type of plastic, and are moulded to look like wooden barrels with metal belts.

If you’re looking for something particularly authentic and rustic, this is one of the best half barrel planters to choose.
