Large terracotta plant pots

Can anyone advise me where I might be able to buy some very large terracotta plant pots? I have 2 trees which are pot based, but they are in the ugly large black plastic type of container.
I need 2 pots each 3-4 foot wide. The garden centres near me have them but at £200 each, they are quite expensive!
Any suggestions?
Cheers

3-4 foot wide is larger than the average plant pot....What about putting in a request on a notice board or local paper? Some kind sole may have just what you need! Failing that get a builder to make you something out of brick!

I would be very twitchy about paying that much for terracota pots that often crack.
What about making something out of Decking or even railway sleepers providing you dont want to lift it of course

Thanks for the suggestions. I had not thought about m aking one out of sleepers so that seems a possible idea. I shall put a shout out on my local freecycle group also.
