What's even crazier to me is those don't even look like large walls! I don't suppose you could transport them like that?

I used to make (considerably smaller) hanging plant pots and boy were they thick. I really didn't want to have dirty rained down on me while watching TV haha. How well have yours held up?

The walls aren't super thick but the guy who designed this thing did a great job. I pick them up all the time, I actually take them to the sink to water them instead of taking the water to them because it's less messy.

You can find the design here: https://www.printables.com/model/762433-expanded-a-wider-planter

Wow that's crazy to me! (Am not quite as thin as I imagined) Appreciate the info and the link. Would love to hear how they're doing in another 6 months to a year :).
