SIPs (Sub-Irrigated Planters) can be constructed from almost any container. More than a decade ago my first exposure to SIPs and the 5 gallon bucket SIPs was the earth Box and "Earth Box Clone" (Homemade Earth Box SIPs), http://www.postoilsolutions.org/documents/Earthbox.pdf
There are several plans and videos of their construction and use, a few are listed below;

For fig culture 5 gallon buckets, 25 gallon planters, 30 gallon and 55 gallon barrels have been modified for use as sips.
