I have some large pots with shrubs, trees, etc.

I would like to be able to stand them in a container of water so that
I can thoroughly soak them when required. Needs to be deep enough to
come a reasonable distance up the post so water is likely to soak in
quickly.

A yellow builders bucket is just too small; almost worked but then the
corner of a square pot split it.

One obvious option is a water tank designed for the loft.

Another would be a kiddie paddling pool.

Main requirement is for a pot which is 16"x16" (40 cm x 40 cm).

Any budget friendly suggestions, please?

TIA

I have one of these

It would be good for what you need.

You couldn't fit a 40x40 cm pot in that, well not by my maths.
You would need something at least 57 CM in dia.

Yeah. Need to work from the diagonal.

Well spotted.

We have a wide shallow one just like this

shallow/

used for paddling, washing dogs, wetsuits, potatoes, holding pen for
fish

I'd suggest a lower height will be easier to lift heavy pots into
