Drainage: Do you drill drainage holes in it yourself?

You will have to drill holes yourself, as I will need to do when mine arrive Monday. I grow wheat grass and the roots need to reach the bottom tray for daily uptake of nutrient rich water. Pre-punched black trays are no longer available in my region and the blank standard trays are too flimsy to take drilling the same number of holes--they just crack and split!

No drainage system necessary. The bottom is open so it just drains into the ground or whatever you have it sitting on.

Yes. I originally drilled one hole and after a few weeks it seemed to plug up and the container actually filled with water from our drip system. I ended up drilling 3 holes in bottom where there is a indentation and it drains great..

As others stated, no drilling from outside. You do need drill bit to drill small holes from inside

Yes. Some of the holes were not completely removed by the hole punch machine, but they were pretty easy to remove to allow for drainage.

Yes there are drainage holes but I drilled an addiontal one in each urn very easily with a small drill. The size of the urns is perfect and I planted about 6 flower varities and a tall green center plant and they look gorgeous! Great quality and looks just like the expensive cement ones but without the weight and no risk of cracking. I highly recommend them!

None of the Listo pots have drainage holes, but they have places marked on the bottomwhere you can easily drill drainage holes if you want them. It's really easy.

No, it does not. We place ours on the side to drain; however it would be easy to drill drain holes.

I did not drill any hole. I used the hole in the countersink sprayer which was about 1 and 1/2".

Sorry - I don't know the answer to that. I had someone else install it and I recollect that it took about a day for the drainage to be hooked up . . . So, probably not.

Yes! There are drainage holes throughout the entire base of the strainer. The solid base piece is an open ring and does not impede drainage at all. It is a fabulous strainer. I have had both sizes for several years now and love them. Best strainers I have ever had, and they are very easy to clean.

No drainage holes, but we have had heavy rains and the seed did not get wet. I love it!

There are designated spots that can be punched out for drainage, but it comes with a solid bottom, no drainage

Mine doesn't have a drain hole. Yes you could drill one easy. The lid seals pretty good, I've never gotten any water in it. WAIT! I can't believe I never thought of this, you want to use it as a cooler? Nice. Won't stay cold very long without any insulation and in the beating sun. But I like the way you think!

It is very easy to put on and take off, they are suction cups : ) Not sure about drilling holes, if you place it under an awning or cover of some kind, I wouldn't think you would have a need for drainage. The gentleman I purchased this for is REALLY enjoying all of the different birds that come to eat : )

No drain hole. That was the only thing that was inconvenient about it. At the end of the day we just bailed it out like a leaky boat and then when it was empty enough a couple of us picked it up and took it over to the lawn to dump it. Otherwise it is really great. :)
