I also don't get the trend for wanting a belfast sink at all. I've got an ancient one in my utility room and I've actually had people telling me they like it and if I get rid of it they'd like to buy it!
I'm gobsmacked people pay to have them installed in smart new kitchens and for sure I don't understand why you'd want an old sink in a garden. But then I know that there's no pleasing everyone and one man's meat is another man's poison.
So like everything in life, it's worth what you're willing to pay for it and dependent on how much you want it.
I like them as sinks, not planters. Too stark for me as planters.
I had one installed in my kitchen because it was the only model big enough to fit things like oven shelves for soaking and washing. However, it broke when I dropped a heavy object in it and I subsequently found a large enough stainless steel sink in IKEA of all places.
I do have a huge ceramic sink outside but it's in ly work area and used as a sink for washing pots and holding cuttings and divisions for easy watering in their early days. If and when I move I shall either take it with me or try and find another one equally large for hosing down filthy dogs after wet walkies in my new garage.

Mine cost around £30 (I think!)

Mine doesn't look like that anymore BM
Think I put pics on the other thread. In case not,
To be fair, it doesn't look like this either anymore! I took out the monster and put in some house leeks

Different strokes for different folks.
I'd love one in the garden and when I change my kitchen again I would like one in there.
Me too star gaze
