Potting Wash Tub

9/9/2014

I am loving this old galvanized wash tub! I made it into a true potting soil station. I have two potting benches but they are used for anything but actually holding potting soil.

It truly was a rescue project. I had to reseal several holes in the bottom of the tub and the wheels are locked from rust and remain locked.

I used oil paint and had to paint it more than once to seal off the rust.

It is the perfect height for potting plants and it holds a large bag of potting soil.

Loving this project!

Hi, I have questions about your paint. I painted galvanized tubs using rustoleum spray paint, the paint on the inside of the tub stayed on, the outside paint peeled. Did you primer your tub or just use oil based paint? Thank You!!

Hi Kim, so sorry about not answering sooner. I always use an oil based paint on metal items. Yes, messy and the clean-up is not fun, but it stays on better and helps protect the metal also. I painted this back in 2014 and it has been outside all this time. The inside is wearing a little thin and needs to be filled, but the paint is still looking good.

Hope this helps!
