This Quarter wine barrel planter is designed to be placed against any kind of wall or structure allowing you to accentuate your garden. We use authentic oak wood wine barrels with quality and value in mind for your gardening needs. This barrel planter is built using an oak wood wine barrel that has been cut in half horizontally, and then in half again vertically. We then use cedar to build a new back and bottom, using the tongue and groove method. If you plan to use the wine barrels for planting, then drainage holes are needed, so excess water may drain out of the containers without drowning and killing the plants. Due to the reclaimed material, color and appearance may vary. Size may vary slightly due to the reclaimed material, and because these are handmade. The Barrel planter that you receive WILL NOT LOOK EXACTLY LIKE THE PHOTOS SHOWN. Photos are for representation only. There may be markings, wine stains, scuffs and more. The Barrel may have varying amounts of metal rings. This is due to the reclaimed material.
