Hi, all,
The wife loves those wooden 'barrel' style garden planters that you can find in the garden centres, and to be fair they are better in the local climate than the clay pots which fall apart in the frost.
The steel bands are the first part to fail (corrode) in the ones we have, and since the timber seems in good enough condition to make a repair worth it, I'm looking at sourcing presentable looking steel banding to reassemble a good few of these pots. swmbo requires that it needs to be something cosmetically presentable, so excessive numbers of holes and worm drive tracks are out. The best I've found so far is this;
Thanks!
Derek
