They look pretty beefy. How would you seal the bottom? I would imagine you would need to find a good way to connect the different sections so they don't separate if roots are trying to push through.

Not sure about the plastic ones but I made a table base from a concrete number. Fucking heavy, like 50kg+

I'm still looking for planter ideas for my bay and saw a mumsnet suggestion for using concrete ones. Turns out there are plastic ones in a fuckton of size configurations. I'm guessing the design is to resist downwards pressure with the assumption of a hard core type surround. The blurb says;
I'd how much the bay tree weighs, but it's fucking heavy without soil - not the sort of thing I can deadlift myself (not that I'm very strong anymore).
What are peoples thoughts?
My most realistic alt designs are wood frame with either vertical decking boards or painted corrugated iron. But Idk if they'll look shit.
