Here is pic of the barrel planters I bought. The set on the left is from Costco - $9.97 each. Set on the right is from Lowes - $14.99 each

OK. The photo is upside down so are we talking right and left based on the upside down picture or based on if they were right side up? Maybe easier question...which barrels were larger?

BTW thanks for the comparison photo. It's good to have to make a decision if you have both stores to go to. I have both stores and just noticed that at one point I lived a town over from you (BG)!

Seeing the barrels in person, which do you like better?

I think I like the costco ones better they dont seen to "bow" out as much in the middle. I dont like the way 2 planters do that. Its like its missing a middle piece.

I dont think the picture is displaying upside down. Green garden hose is on the floor of the garage in front of the barrels and the barrels are in front of a car with a blue cover on it.

The larger is from Costco, the smaller is from Lowes

I agree with the "bowing" that is dramatically shown with the smaller barrels. I was trying to think of a way to come up with a middle insert, but nothing is coming to mind that would be quick and sturdy.
