Default narrow water tank

Living in North London and looking for a few plastic water tanks about about
10 or 12 inches or so (25 - 30cm) wide, (length and depth not so important).

The purpose is; to put in it some *invasive* bamboo plant and then run them
alongside the fence of a very small garden, so as to act as a screen.

Any idea where water tanks might be found please? Thanks.


Just get big plastic nursery pots (5 gal or more) and cuts the bottoms out. The
roots don't generally go deep enough to get out. I used 14" aluminum sheet
around a bed of bamboo, and it lasted better than 20 years before the bamboo
finally made it out. I am assuming that the aluminum finally corroded away in
our acidic soil. They also make plastic sheeting for root barriers which would
work fine.
