Where to buy big pots cheap(ish)

[nodogz]

Where's the best place to buy big pots for my patio? At least 40cm diameter but hopefully around 60cm. I need five at least.

Normally, I'd just drive round b&m, b&q, the range, homebase etc but I'd like to limit my trips out if possible.

I'd like terracotta/natural materials over plastic. Online is fine too. Had a look on Facebook marketplace but it's very quiet.

Compost is not a problem - got a local nursery delivering that.

Cheers and thank you

How cheap(ish) is cheap?

This place is good value but awaiting stock 47cm for £21.99

Hello,
Some advice regarding this patch is appreciated.It used to be a children’s play area abd we have dug it up and installed new fence to hide neighbour’s clutter.Fairly large plot 64 sq metre,south facing garden ,so gets a lot of sun.
I have toyed with putting a 2m wide bed along fence and having a raised bed on the other side for herbs and vegetables and turfing the rest.Not a very experienced gardener and not enough time to tend to loads of veggies etc.
Should I do that or should I just have 2 or more raised beds?What would one of you do with this space?
Any ideas gratefully received.

I have just bought 48cm cilantro pots from Crocus- they are plastic though.

I think Homebase are the best for terracotta pots and they aren't expensive either.

Thanks all, some nice big pots there. I'll get saving up for some whoppers and take a trip to Homebase to see what they have.

I'm also going to have a crack at making a concrete planter with some massive lockdown cardboard boxes I found stashed in the garage. Could be a disaster but could look great!

Not sure what I'd do with that patch of garden that turned up on the thread. I like a two step raised bed (big green plants at the back and smaller colour or veg at the front). Do you want somewhere to sit or a cheerful pop of colour you can see when you're washing up? On my west/south facing patio (where the big pots are going) it is so hot and sheltered it can frazzle stuff like mad. Some I'm having tropical palms, bananas and jasmine on there to soak up the sunshine and it'll hopefully be just like a holiday!

I have just bought 2 enormous salt glazed pots from Errington Reay, sorry can’t seem to post a link.they are gorgeous, they were £60.00 each so not cheap, but they really are gorgeous. I would post a photo but they are in my side passage waiting for the plants to arrive, and my photo couldn’t do them justice. Also I wanted to buy some that were spatter glazed with verdigris but stupidly sought dh’s opinion and got steered towards Matt black. Still lovely but...
I got them at a local garden centre but they have stockists around the country.

But if that’s too much, Homebase has the best reasonably priced plastic pots, and I know this because I have spent lockdown in fairly obsessive research as I plan my potted front garden.

Wilko..b and m , home bargains..tesco..any of those kind of shops.
