Wine Barrel Planter Liners

For many years I have had wine barrels as planters and they have been on our redwood deck. I try to move them around from here to there, but still have the problem with the water draining on our deck, which leads to rotting wood problems of the deck. This year I was bound and determined to find a solution to our problem!! I looked high, low and in between, no one had answer.. Until one day I was in Kelseyville Lumber and I was talking with on of the guys that works there and he suggested a tray that is put under water heaters (rubber/plastic??) and it was the proper size!! about 26”inches!! YIPEEEEEEEEEEEE.. and it was less than $10!
Even better!! It works great.. and the best part is that it has a drain.. yep a drain.. I had to get a little creative (but you know that is my middle name) and I have finally got a great tray that catches the water and drains it away from my deck.. So happy!! So if you look at the photos below I show exactly what you need to have and how to do it.. Any question, just ask me..

Always to be sure to drill about 3 holes (1-1/2” each) in the bottom of the barrel for proper drainage. When filling the wine barrel with your preferred mix of dirt, you should also fill the bottom about a 1/3 of the way up with “popcorn” Styrofoam peanuts the barrel before putting your compost/dirt in.
