Always make sure you drill a few holes in the bottom of your galvanized tub planter. This step is critical when making a DIY large galvanized tub planter.

A hack that I love doing to make sure your water is draining properly is to put your galvanized tub planter on top of a couple bricks or a pallet. The reason you do this is so that the water is able to drip out of the bottom of your pot or planter tub.

Those are my top 5 favorite galvanized tub planters. They are all different sized so you can decide which one is your favorite or what one fits your needs best. Like I mentioned about you have to figure the best spot for your planter and then you can choose one that is the right size based on that. I have a pretty large front porch so I could fit a big planter on the front porch. But if I decided to put one on my back porch it would have to be a smaller size. You will just have to look at all the different options and choose one you like the best.

There are a lot of things to keep in mind when creating your own beautiful raised garden bed.
