    A couple of other ideas for you FC. :)

    I don't know whether Bamboo would work out cheaper but you could create the same effect with logs.

    And the use of decking which you're thinking on.

      Decking option looks the best to me. Id be going to an agricultural wood supplier like my one who is amazing.y cheap and good quality when compared to diy sheds andbuilders merchants.

      Hmmmm... there is something about that corrugated steel one that I like, but that could be expensive surely? Having said that, I do like the look of the decking one. something like that, lined with plastic sheeting would look pretty good.

      What size drainage holes would be best for that sort of planter, and what sort of depth of gravel (assuming that is the best solution)

      It's not steel FC, it's aluminium apparently. I'll dig out the link for it if you're interested. :)

        Thanks @ Sheal - I'd appreciate that if and when you have a minute. Still trying to make my mind up, so the more information the better. :)
