    Scoty I would drill those stunning pots for drainage should be easy with a good masonry drill.

    Thank you W they are stunning infact may even go back to gardne centre with them as next size up has drainage holes but it looked to big to go on Arch.

    Failing that will get my husband to drill them for me. Thanks again ,hope weather not too fierce for you take care.

    Got to take pots back as a fault should have had drainage holes.

    Get my money back or replacement .

    Just as well I keep receipts as they asked if I have it .

    Scotkat, i loved your pots. Are you getting the bigger ones in that colour or going for something different?

    I had loads of pots out last year that we drilled holes in - if you buy them really cheap it doesn't matter if they crack. Ours didn't crack with the drilling, but they did when some numptyhead [​IMG] left them out all winter in the rain, snow & frost :rolleyes: .

    Love your arch too.

    cheers

    What a shame Scotkat. I loved the colour of those. Didn't they have the bigger ones in lilac or did you not want them?

    I would have used them as house pots but i suppose you really want something for your arch. Be sure to post a pic when you've got your new ones.

    cheers

    Scotkat,
    Was it a BillyOh arch? I looked at this stuff a while ago but unfortunately out of my price rage. Only have a small garden but fancied putting something in the corner where we removed a large bush.


    cheers
