    Comments about Self-Watering Pail Planters:

    I had to buy little bungy cords to hang these off my front railings. The plastic inserts almost broke off during assembly, and I was being careful with them. Since the cans aren't perfectly level, the reservoir isn't working quite right, and the floating device is stuck and not floating.

      Comments about Self-Watering Pail Planters:

      This is now a very expensive standing planter. There were no directions, and I couldn't figure out what the tube was for - nor was there any hardware. WHen filled with lightweight potting material and plants - it was far too heavy to safely hang. A disappointment.

            Comments about Self-Watering Pail Planters:

            I wanted to hang on my fence but still trying to figure out how to hang them. I happened to have some old holders that I could use for 2 of them but needed another one and can't find the holders any more. The holders are called fence hangers and are perfect for the pots. Now to figure out how to hang the other one. Why don't you have these hangers?

              Comments about Self-Watering Pail Planters:

              The pails were difficult to assemble that is the self watering aspect. I have yet to fiquire out what I can use to hang them on my fence. I like the colors but I would not recommend ordering them. I am considering returning them however I have only one in use at the moment.

                These have worked out well and are now hanging on a fence. They are considerably larger than I thought they would be so pay better attention to the dimensions than I did.
