Common drainage options include a single drainage hole, no-drain designs (often used for some wall planters), self-watering reservoirs, and open-bottom planters. These options either allow excess water to escape, hold a bottom reservoir for roots, or promote faster drainage depending on the planter style.
Planters are made for wall mounting and freestanding ground placement. Many are labeled for indoor, outdoor, or both, and are commonly used on patios, decks, porches and in sunrooms.
Smaller pots typically require no assembly. Larger raised beds usually need adult assembly; some listings provide tools, others do not, and a few raised beds advertise tool-free assembly.
Some planters are designed for wall mounting or hanging—examples include half-circle wall planters with nail/screw holes. Many pots and raised beds are freestanding for ground placement.
