The first one would probably be more of the "yeah, you really dented up that barrel!" variety. :)Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13393082652312828458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-91564433238672307882015-01-23T17:38:41.961-06:002015-01-23T17:38:41.961-06:00Hammer it into a cool steel drum to play at all of...Hammer it into a cool steel drum to play at all of your summer parties!outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-16038491214391229732015-01-23T13:40:35.862-06:002015-01-23T13:40:35.862-06:00Some great ideas here -- I never thought about mak...Some great ideas here -- I never thought about making furniture out of it! I also like the idea of cutting it non-symmetrically. If I had two of these barrels I think I'd do that in a second, and end up with a trio of planters of different heights that I'd group together -- that would be fabulous! Now I have to find another barrel (or two or three...)<br /><br />Thanks everybody!Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13393082652312828458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-12569831713782295532015-01-22T11:17:58.433-06:002015-01-22T11:17:58.433-06:00("two" long planters, not "to"...("two" long planters, not "to")danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-64013706719318203582015-01-22T11:17:08.671-06:002015-01-22T11:17:08.671-06:00Around here these are becoming quite popular as pl...Around here these are becoming quite popular as planters, usually cut in half though, so they aren't quite as deep. They also are often painted bright colors, or with stripes.<br /><br />Do you have an outdoor seating area? Maybe you could cut it not quite in half (2/3 1/3) and part becomes a table for smaller pots (or a cool beverage) and the other becomes a planter.<br /><br />Or cut it in half lengthwise and make wooden supports (legs, sort of a rectangle with a U-shaped cut out) and have to long planters.<br /><br />Okay, I'll stop now.danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-24027075245331862812015-01-22T03:48:16.565-06:002015-01-22T03:48:16.565-06:00A water garden was the first thing that jumped to ...A water garden was the first thing that jumped to my mind. Can imagine it with tall papyrus and thalia dealbata. Although it may be too deep? Making it a planter is the simplest solution as you've just said. Either way you also have the option to paint it :)Mark and Gazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09427245730390252976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-52592690577603567382015-01-22T00:24:44.744-06:002015-01-22T00:24:44.744-06:00Rain barrel or planter for bamboo?

Can you drill holes in it and plant tons of strawberry plants in it? <br /><br />I also think an assortment of flowers would look great - some tall, some spilling over the sides. <br /><br />Or even saw it into two pieces for matching planters on either side of your driveway.
