Hi folks, first of all, I love the community rules here, “posts must be about ponds” 😜

I have some of these firkins spare and wanted to convert one to a small wildlife pond for my vegetable/cottage garden. The basic idea would be to cut the top off, bury it partially in the ground, then fill it.

I’m basically wondering if the height is an issue, I see barrel planters are common, but wouldn’t want to create a pond where escape is impossible. Also, are the sloped sides an issue? If so i would have to cut where the central banding is. Could I fill it with house bricks or similar to create levels easily?

Many thanks
