    I had one of there barrows about 3 years ago that only lasted about 2 seasons can i suggest that you treat all of the timber with a good wood preserver or varnish before you plant it up as the coating they have on at purchase is very poor but they look stunning when planted up

    Vince my barrow was already treated when we bought it.
    But thank you anyway for pointing it out.

    I have asked my husband to make me a wishing well planter.

    Yes he is keen to do it a nice project.

    I am also goint to plant up a wooden lorry my dad made ,have seen paint to repaint first will need to sand it.

    The paint is called scooter red.
