Description
Oak whiskey barrel planters are available in a variety of sizes and make a perfect addition to home gardening.
Cut in half from genuine oak Scotch whiskey barrels to create the perfect barrel planter for your plants, herbs or trees.
Our solid oak whiskey half-barrels are extremely high quality and come with steel bands.
20-gallon planter notes – They are both effectively the same barrel in terms of appearance and size. The rum barrel started off life as a whiskey barrel and subsequently was used again to store rum so the price reflects the fact that they’ve had an “extra use”. The Grade B and Grade C planters may contain a hole at the bottom as standard as they have come into us.
Approximate Dimensions:

Nicola (verified owner) –
I ordered two half whiskey barrels. One of them is great, sturdy. The other is wobbly, the ‘planks ‘ feel loose and the metal band round the outside is wobbly and I can slide it about. I’m not sure what is holding it together. Perhaps when it has something in it, it might feel more stable. I hope.
The smell from the barrels goes, don’t worry about the smell!
Prompt delivery.
Jon Howcroft (store manager) –
Hi Nicola.
The bands shouldn’t be wobbly – we pin them to the wood to prevent this. I can only assume that the pin has somehow loosened in transport. Are you able to call our office on 01437 710043 and speak to our customer service team to arrange a replacement?
Thanks
Celtic Timber
