Outdoor Metal Watering Can: How to Choose the Perfect One?
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Well, let me tell ya ’bout them waterin’ cans, the ones you use outside, you know, for the garden and such. Folks call ’em “outdoor metal watering cans,” fancy, ain’t it? But to me, it’s just a bucket with a spout, somethin’ to get water to my plants without havin’ to lug a whole dang hose around.

Now, I’ve seen them plastic ones too, all colors of the rainbow they are. They say they’re lighter, and maybe they are, but I ain’t too sure ’bout how long they last. Metal ones, though, them’s sturdy. They can take a beatin’, you drop ’em, they might dent, but they ain’t gonna crack like them plastic things.

Outdoor Metal Watering Can: How to Choose the Perfect One?

So, why metal, you ask? Well, for one, they hold a heap of water. You ain’t gotta keep runnin’ back and forth to the faucet, especially if you got a big ol’ garden like mine. I got tomatoes, peppers, beans, all sorts of stuff. Takes a lot of waterin’, let me tell ya. And a big metal can, that’s what gets the job done.

  • Strong and last long time.
  • Holds lot of water, good for big gardens.
  • Don’t break easy like those plastic things.

Now, when you go lookin’ for one of these here metal cans, you gotta pay attention to a few things. First off, the handle. You want a good, strong handle, somethin’ that ain’t gonna bend or break when you lift it full of water. And it needs to be comfortable too, ’cause you’ll be holdin’ that thing for a while, especially on a hot day.

Then there’s the spout, that’s the thing the water comes out of, see? Some of them are long and skinny, some are short and fat. I like the ones that are kinda in between, not too long, not too short. And make sure it’s attached good and tight, you don’t want it leakin’ all over the place.

And another thing, make sure it’s balanced. You don’t want it tippin’ over every time you set it down. That’s just a pain in the neck, spillin’ water everywhere. A good can, it’ll sit up straight, even when it’s full. It’s all about the make, I reckon. Some are just slapped together, you know? But others, they’re made with care, built to last.

I remember my old can, my grandpa gave it to me. It was metal, of course, big and heavy. Used that thing for years, musta watered a thousand gardens with it. Finally rusted through on the bottom, had to get a new one. But I tell you what, that old can, it was somethin’ special.

These days, you can find these cans anywhere, it seems. Hardware stores, garden centers, even them big stores that sell everything from soup to nuts. But don’t just grab the first one you see. Look at it, feel it, make sure it’s somethin’ that’ll last. You want a good one, somethin’ that’ll be with you for years to come.

And don’t go breakin’ the bank neither. There are some fancy ones out there, cost a pretty penny, but you don’t need all that frill. A good, basic metal can, that’s all you need. It’ll get the job done just fine, and it won’t cost you an arm and a leg.

Now, some folks might say plastic is the way to go. They’re lighter, they say, easier to carry around. But I ain’t so sure. They feel flimsy to me, like they’re gonna crack any minute. And they don’t hold as much water, that’s for sure. So I’ll stick with my metal can, thank you very much. It’s sturdy, it’s reliable, and it gets the job done. And that’s what matters, ain’t it?

So, if you’re lookin’ for a waterin’ can, one for the outdoors, one that’ll last, go get yourself a metal one. You won’t regret it. And don’t forget to check that handle and spout! A good can is like a good friend, it’ll be there when you need it, helpin’ you grow your garden, keepin’ your plants happy and healthy. And that, my friend, is worth more than all the tea in China.
