Does the pit have a hole in the bottom for rain to drain out?

No, but if you have the tool for drilling it might help with drainage. The instructions say to put 5# of sand in bottom. And, to keep sand semi-dry get a cover at the same time if you order this fire pit. I have had to turn it on it's side to drain it. Any sand that comes out will help our clay soil. Also, play sand is cheap so I got a larger bag of sand. I like the fire pit enough to not be bothered by the few problems that I've mentioned. We enjoy the ambiance and woody fire aroma on a chilly night wrapped in a blanket on our double wide wooden Adirondack that we put together and sealed.

No, it does not. But the solution to that is to purchase the cover that fits it. I have read other's comments about it quickly rusting. I've had mine for over a year and it set out all summer. I keep the cover on it when it's not in use and I don't have a spec of rust on it anywhere... and yes I still love this firepit!!

In short, no. This pot comes with a raised insert that creates a drainage system inside the pot. It does not have holes that allow it to drain through to the outside.

Simple answer is no. However, there is no way for rain water to escape, so it rusts inside. Some have drilled a small drain hole. This is the only real downside to the product.

Yes, there is a drainage hole. You must put something under the pot to catch the water.

Yes, there are several small holes in the bottom to allow for drainage. It does sit flat. I use mine for a counter utensil holder. My guess is it would need to be on a drain mat or in a dish drainer for it to be raised and the water to flow through. Hope this helps. Mine has been great for my needs. Enjoy!

NO IT DOES NOT. Your job is to assemble it correctly. By the way, I wish that the rain would seep in.

Yes. We added 3-4 largish holes in the bottom. On a positive side, the container does keep the soil damp and reduces the need to water constantly.

No, there are no holes on the bottom but there is one quarter size hole on the side so it dries out well. Hope this helps

No bottom....it is intended to leach water back into the soil....I placed 2' of river rock in the bottom of the hole. It works really well and can handle a lot of water. Top and sides only. I opted for the top drain attachment just in case I needed to drop in a sump pump.

Dear Laura, These pots do have holes at the bottom which allows water to be drain.

Their are no drainage holes. We got it to use with our beer clubs portable tap system. It works great!

Yes, it has nice holes, 2 on every side. It hasn't rained since putting it up so hope it works well.

No drainage holes, but the feeder has done well after several days of steady rain. If you wanted to, it probably wouldn't be difficult to drill a few small drainage holes into the floor.

Yes it has a drain hole. It has a rubber cap on the side near the bottom edge. It's about an inch in diameter. I have flowers in mine and excess water drains well from it.

Dear Ms. Woods, Thank you for your inquiry to Plow & Hearth. The Fire Pit is only a copper finish. It does not have a drain hole. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. Sincerely, Sarah Woods Plow & Hearth Customer Service

It does have a fabric bottom so the dirt doesn't leak out around the bottom. It holds up well also. I didn't take it down this winter so I'm hoping it held up in the bitter weather.

No. But it comes with a cover so water hasn't been a problem, and the center pan easily lifts out if you need you need to dump ashes or wash it/drain it.
