How long should a wine barrel planter last?

Renewing a Whiskey/Wine Barrel Bottom

I have a half whiskey barrel planter and am thinking about replacing the bottom,that rotted away.I probably should of had bricks underneath it,to begin with. I was reading about the proper way to do it,by taking some hoops off but there are rivets and the rest of the thing is not in great shape.It could last a few years though. Maybe cut a circle of plywood,a little larger than the bottom and pound it in from the top? [IMG_20210113_164926684] [IMG_20210113_164852205]
