Looking for a manufacturer of mega-size heavy concrete tubs, around 5' x 2' x 2' deep with drain and fixing holes. Our current supplier in Essex has stopped doing them.
thanks

Ask them for the moulds and make your own.

You can get concrete water troughs intended for cattle.

Great for cows, but I don't think these would improve a historic conservati on-area village. I should have explained something rusticated with a very knobbly finish is really needed. Also very heavy to stop the local yobs t ipping it over and/or breaking it into pieces at midnight.

Googling "large concrete planter" seems to produce many results. The top one on my search gives the size but you may have to settle for two semi ones put together.

I'm sure a council near you will let you know where they get them from.

I have collected my redundant galvanised drinking water troughs and used them as planters. Dual purpose as they look pretty and stop visitors parking on the verge. Not 2'x2' though. Maybe 18"x18"x 5'0" long. Make £20 at a farm sale, more if they are riveted construction.

This is for a Parish Council ! Getting someone to make one might cost a couple of days work - too expensive.

Someone near us has raised beds built from concrete fence posts and panes. Look very sturdy.

Do you really have to have concrete? Googling for street furniture seems to come up with a very wide range of options, just not many in concrete.

Get a smooth concrete tub and render it with a desired finish
