I want to buy a 5ft or 2 x 2.5ft trough style wooden planters. I want to use them along a wall in my garden rather than bending to do the border I have at the moment.
I looked at the local garden center and the price they want is crazy but when I look on Amazon the prices are better but it's hard to assess the quality from the photos. Ideally I want to get them home delivered rather than collect.
I dont need them to have feet as I'm happy to stand on bricks but I do want something which is treated and chunky/solid.
Has anyone bought any of these recently that could recommend a decent one to get.?

Wilko's stuff is surprisingly well made and usually a great deal cheaper (often for a better quality item) than garden centres. See https://www.wilko.com/en-uk/garden-outdoor/garden-lawn-plant-care/plant-pots-planters/c/1341
A (fussy!) friend has the patio planter and thinks it's great: https://www.wilko.com/en-uk/marberry-patio-planter/p/0507561Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!0 -
I wanted certain size ones so we bought some decking boards and made them ourselves. maybe that would be an option? you can then paint/stain them any colour you like

..+ 1 for making your own. For the same money you will at least get better quality timber and all you need is a saw, drill and some screws...
