Hey Mark,
No lining, plenty of drainage underneath right down to the ground. This particular customer wanted to just drop pots in and remove for winter. Honestly, I have only done a few decks with planters and everyone of them, I give the option for both lined/drop in, and all go for the pot drop in. I am also not a gardener so I don't know if it is to do with our climate...harsh winter and in general wild climate changes in the spring.
My wife is really into the flower thing. She has our yard looking awesome. She says never plant anything until our May long weekend is over. Even then it is risky. I think we may have had just about freezing temps at night in May this year...Long and short, I guess they choose drop in method so if we do get freezing nights, they can take pots indoors?
Thanks
L.W.
