Making my own metal containers

So I recently decided to make my own containers to save some pennies and thought I'd ask the forum what your thoughts are on them.

I have about ten different types based on this one in the photo.

 

Love them. How on earth did you go about making them. Well done

 

Very nice.

 

I work in sheet metal fabrication so it's all free why buy them when I can make them and also put my own stamp on my garden hopefully get some more pics up soon of different types.

 

Adam, they look cool....

When it comes to the garden I hate formality...

I've had all sorts as containers for plants, even an old loo!

When I used to be head cook in the kitchen of a residential home, I used to use the catering size cans for planting... Just drilled some drain holes in the bottom...

 

Really good!
Could you make them the right size to accept common plastic pot sizes? Add a means of supporting the pot inside about 3 to 5cm from the bottom and they'll make perfect cache pots for houseplants.

 

Can make anything with CAD and a plasma cutter.

 

Just finished another diamond type.

And what the insides look like.

 

They are lovely @Adam D

 

I fully love them @Adam D yo could so sell them i would buy them

also you gotta love a bit of CAD and a machine to cut things. Use to love watching the machines cut things out of metal, wood and plastic at uni but never got to use them myself

 

Messing about with some different types

 

I think i prefer the patterned ones and the one with ribs on it. The pain one isnt doing it for me

 

Love them. Gives your garden a personal touch. Looks like they will last and last

 

I plan on using my plain ones as background filler for climbers for something I'm working on in my garden.

 

They are stunning @Adam D. I agree with @Dips, I'd buy those too.
