Default Large tub/tank to soak large pots - X-post

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

Wooden frame with plastic sheet over it? I bought a couple of meters of
4m wide heavy-duty polythene sheet a while back for £5.40 inclusive of
delivery, and used it with a couple of courses of bricks laid on the
ground to make a tank for leak-testing a radiator. Not sure how durable
it'd be long term, though.
