I used three last year. If the sides are kicked, they'll crack. If you leave them out all winter, the ice may crack them. Not ideal, but pretty. Here's a journal I've kept featuring them... Here are a few of my favorite shots... Let me hasten to add that I HIGHLY recommend at least 40 gallon stock tanks / animal feeder tubs from Tractor Supply instead. Not as pretty, but far stronger. You need to drill two holes, about 1/4 inch in diameter about 1.5 inches below the edge so that water will drain out. Also, please read this book. It will save you all sorts of trouble...
