Got quite a few of these planted boxes for the top of our fence last summer and they did hold up well. One was missing the little piece you attach in the middle to keep them from bowing out when they arrived, so that one looks a little worse for wear this year...one more broke when I got them on if storage in the garage this year, so I have two now that will probably need replacing unless I can just find a replacement for that dumb little piece. Anyway, the color was perfect and they do look so pretty filled with petunias!
