G'Day

I have bought some IBC - intermediate bulk containers.

Should I cut them in half or not ?

TIA

what are you proposing to do with them - that determines the way they can/should be cut.

also have a brief read here about pro & cons of vertical versus horizontal..

Hi Ng.sa,

If you want to use some as grow beds you're going to need to cut them up.

As Darren said it depends on how you want to use them.
If you want shallow beds without the central top & base bump you could cut them vertically so they are 2-300 deep. Or if you want to use them with heavier media or wicking bed soils I'd suggest cutting horizontally and removing all the tubes between the two middle rails, that'll give a 400+ mm GB.
If you flip the top half of the container over you can pack it up with boards to support the base, I had to cut the eyelets out next to the cap on my wicking bed 2nd system to put the cross members through. But on the sump tanks I sat them on molded ground with the cage around.
