    An old copper hot water cylinder cut in half you look nice and would have the extra benefit of keeping slugs away.

        The website says, "The product will be shipped to you clean and rust free, the rustic appearance will grow over time and with exposure to the elements". Might as well ask a local fabricator if they could make you one from piece of sheet metal then, if it's going to come clean, might even be cheaper.

        Quite like that, don't think I've seen one before

        I'll see if there's one nearby, thanks :)
