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.

In keeping with the spirit of a.h.r., I'll ignore your question and ask
my own. So you're going to make potted plants, above ground? Or are you
going to bury them? Holes will obviously let the roots out, so what are
you going to do for drainage? And I have to ask, with all the choices,
why the invasive stuff?

you dont need drainage, bamboo in sealed boxes copes alright without it.
invasive is as invasive presents itself !

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.
