(75/290)200 = 51.7

The diameter is 350 - 51.7 = 298.3

At 260 deep, the diameter is 255mm - modelled on CAD
This is Pistonheads in full effect....

A bloke needs to know whether his plant pots will fit inside one another.....within 30mins, someone (who could literally be sat on the other side of the world) has drawn the pots up, to scale, in CAD software to complete the analysis. Love it biglaugh

Slow day in the office John?
I'm just disappointed that no Powerfully Built Director has got the lads to fire up the 6 axis milling machine and got one milled from frozen sausage

Final question...

For the next size up pot, what would the diameter be at the same point please?


If you drew that to scale, you could measure it yourself.

Sorry for the late reply folks, it turned out to be quite a busy day and I had to use CAD to design stuff!

Anyway, onto important matters. As hidetheelephants said, the answer is 298 but I feel the PH collective (well, maybe just Matty) would be disappointed if I didn't model it in CAD. So just in case you needed a your answer to more than 1 d.p., the diameter is 298.2758621mm.

To save the OP asking about other pots...

Dt - ((200/h) x (Dt - Db))

You nodded off during English grammar lessons?

It was until all the meetings and demand of proper use of CAD started! But I can always find time to model and measure pots.

Surely there is something better to be doing with your life at half 6 in the morning...?

Not quite the accuracy I expected but I guess that’ll have to do biggrin
Many thanks for taking the time beer
