Metal and Plastic Watering Cans

From basic to ornate designs, all watering cans accomplish the same function – keeping your plants hydrated. But the materials they’re made out of can sway your decision to buy. Typically, water cans are made of different types of metals or plastic.

• Plastic Watering Cans may struggle against wind, but are lightweight and durable, with the ability to withstand heat, rain and snow. Most are molded in high-impact plastic, lending to their level of durability. Plus, plastic watering cans are also very affordable.
• Metal Watering Cans provide a charming, vintage look to your kitchen or garden. They can be just as durable as plastic watering cans but left exposed to the elements without proper care can cause them to rust. Galvanized steel watering cans will not rust but will be heavier than other models.

Which Watering Can Material Is Best?

While both plastic and metal watering cans are fine, your choice will ultimately come down to preference. When properly safeguarded against the elements, both can work for indoor and outdoor gardening well. One major consideration is weight, as metal cans tend to be heavier than plastic watering cans, which may help sway your decision.

Long Spouts and Carrying Capacities

Watering cans are designed with different carrying capacities, from just a few liters to several gallons. A long spout watering can is useful for watering plants or bushes in tight spots and hanging plants in hard-to-reach places.

Although many are designed with durable two-hand handles for easier lifting and pouring, keep in mind that a full high-capacity stainless steel plant watering can will be considerably heavier than smaller, plastic models.
