The HC Companies Flower Pot Saucers - Plastic Plant Saucer for Outdoors & Indoors - Traditional Design Plant Pot Trays for Water Drainage - Durable & Stylish Round Plant Tray (16-inch Sandstone)

Durable and exactly how described. This was the only large saucer I could find.

Update Jun 2022: still love it after two years. Had to replace first saucer when a big hailstone knocked out a chunk of the side wall. Birds finally discovered it and often drink. Also now use a few drops of pet-safe algaecide when replacing water. TL;DR: this saucer and fountain provide a cheap, entertaining, low-maintenance watering hole for local wildlife. I bought this plant saucer and solar fountain (Solar Fountain Pump, Teamyo 6 Spray Patterns Solar Powered Bird Bath Fountains) for use as a birdbath about three months ago. Although I have not seen any birds bathing in it, I've seen birds, squirrels, and rabbits drink from it. I'm fine with that; my real goal was to provide entertainment for my cat, Shadow. I suspect the birds don't use it as a bath because it's too close to the house and shrubs (where predators could lurk), or because I have it too deep. I bought the absolute cheapest saucer and fountain I could get. I wasn't sure whether I would handle the upkeep: I have a habit of starting projects, but much less of a habit for daily drudgery. However, it turns out that I do keep up with this, and I learned some things. I completely change the water every 2-3 days. It helps *tremendously* that the saucer is quite lightweight: I just dump the water on the nearest shrub, spray it out with a high pressure jet from the garden hose, put it down, and refill it. I might not be nearly so conscientious with a heavy ceramic saucer or bowl. I got the solar powered fountain for entertainment, and/or to prevent the growth of algae. It has several attachments, which allow the water to spray up prettily and quite high (12-24 inches), but also drain the water in just a couple of hours. With no attachments (as shown in photo) it still burbles around quite nicely, getting as high as 4-6 inches in bright midday sun. Every 2-3 weeks I open it up and rinse the inner chamber. Even in shadow or dusk/dawn light it burbles up an inch or so every couple of seconds. Whether due to aeration by the fountain, or regular water replacement, the water remains clear and clean. I consider this money well spent for the entertainment it provides my cat and me. Plus I get to feel righteously smug for helping local wildlife during a dry Oklahoma summer.

This is the perfect size to act as a bird bath. I know some of you may be looking at this to put underneath your plants and of course it would work for that as well. But I'm always looking for alternatives to make places where birds can come and enjoy a little drink of water in this heat. For the size you can't beat it. Heavy duty plastic. Easy to clean.

I received this planter saucer on the expected delivery date with no damages. It is very light and thin as described. Is its light weight a plus? I honest don't know. Since it is not something I will move or carry around on a frequent basis. weight of saucer is my least concern. I am using it outdoors. We have hot sunny summers, snow and freezing winters. Durability and holding its shape under weight of the planter with the potting soil and plant and ability to retain its color are the important attributes that I am looking for especially its price is not that cheap. When ordering, please pay special attention to the pictorial diagram showing just the dimensions of the saucer to get a good fit. Use the chart (pale blue color letters) showing the dimensions of the planters if you already have the planter sold by HC or are buying the planter & saucer as a pair now. If you use the dimension published in the dimension to order, chances are it won't fit since most planters have a sloping sidewall. It is likely the bottom diameter of the saucer is too small. Description says it is made out of plastic only. I wish it can be a bit more specific. Plastic is a term that covers a wide range of material. The item is stamped Made in USA. The manufacturing process of this item is rather simple and non labor intensive. Making them in China may not have much of an advantage in terms of cost. The quality of material and conformity to the material specification are important factors. Consumer perception is items made in a certain country overseas are sub-quality and often not what material is said to be. Hence, the preference of buying products that are made in USA. In my opinion, the use of the correct type of material is essential in meeting the service specification. More specifics on the material would be desireable.

Expensive, but fit the purpose. No assembly needed. perfect design, strong quality. Stable and nice color, but there are no drainage holes. That must enhance the stability. Nice and fat, works great! Worth every penny, for the job it does.

Highly recommend!!!

I bought the 16" because my pot was 14". There was obviously a miscalculation somewhere along the way. But I kind of like how the pot sits on top, looks seamless, elevates the pot, so I'm happy with it! Lightweight, as expected.

I bought this to make an extra bird bath and it works well for what I needed.

Nice size, very sturdy, will be using as bird bath.

Nice colour, holds up well. I use as bird bath insert.

I use these for bird baths. The birds love them lined with sand and a big rock.

Most of the products are goof

Way too large for my purposes. Will have to return.
