This is wonderful, easy to put together very sturdy and an excellent price

I just received the 1st of 3 that I ordered and I’m delighted! The packaging was well thought and perfectly executed. I put it together in no time! Everything you need and then some with the plant markers and pen! The metal feels sturdy and the paint job is high quality finish. I will say it’s better to say it’s an off white/pale almond color than white but I knew to expect this from other reviews. I was afraid it might look dirty against my white vinyl fence but I think it looks fine. I didn’t want to introduce a color I may tire of in the future, but do think the color options are so fun! I placed this around already established raspberry plants to give a more polished look and to be able to add contain compost and fertilizer that I add to these. I’m placing an order for a forth after this review!

Extremely easy to put together and very sturdy. I appreciated that extra hardware was included. The directions also explained how to properly layer your raised bed. I will be buying another one.

Used these planters on a septic mound to help hold the sand up, time will tell if it does the job. These planters are relatively easy to put together, although the pre-drilled holes on the wooden surround don't always match to the holes in the bed once you add the T supports. We purchased 3 of these , so the next two we turned upside down and installed metal Ts to match instead of using predrilled holes. Also, I searched on site in all descriptions and all I could find was this is a USA company and reviews mentioned being happy they were made in the states. Not true, these are made in CHINA, which was disappointing.Also, price dropped significantly within days after I purchased them and it is staying at that price point two weeks later. Amazon would not refund the difference, so watch the pricing. These are the reasons I did not give it 5 stars. Happy with product itself.

PACKAGING - First, the garden beds are packed very well in a box that was about 16x16x5. I ordered 8 of these at a time - the 4x2x1 with the dark wooden top. I bought all they had. They arrived separately (different days, some in boxes and some in the original container) and all were in good shape. The metal sheets had rubber corner protectors on them, and they were nested neatly in the box with thin foam in between each panel. I had no damage in any of the 8 boxes although some of the cardboard boxes were a little worse for wear.TOP EDGE - The tops of the aluminum sheets have a rolled edge so it's not sharp. There is a coating on the aluminum as well so I think it will hold up well in the weather. They have a 3-year warranty if you sign up for it.ASSEMBLY - EASY. The hardest part was unpacking everything! The boxes were sealed tightly with tape so it took my dad a bit of time opening and removing things while I assembled the beds. The first one took me about 30 minutes, and when I got the hang of it, each one took me about 10 minutes after that. I did not install the wooden tops at this point.UNBOXING - What you get in the package is this: 6 curved panels (3 per end) and 4 straight panels (2 per side). Each panel has a hole at the top and bottom vertically along the 5 ribs. The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th rib each have a die cut "tongue" on the left side and a slot to receive the neighboring tongue on the right (SEE PICTURE). These tongues (or tabs) will need to be pushed closed once assembled. I used a wooden block to preserve my fingertips. There were 2 more bolts and nuts per box than I needed. I don't know if there are extra screws for the wooden tops yet. It came with an allen wrench which I didn't need.HARDWARE - It comes with a bolt and a long "t-shaped" nut that covers the rest of the bolt's on the inside of the container. The nuts have grooves so they are easy to tighten (SEE PICTURE). I started with the curved end pieces, aligned the three tongues with the holes then put the bottom screw in. I opted to install the bracket on the top (only for those with the wooden frame on top) with the bolt and nut.WOODEN FRAME MODEL - For those of you who get the box with the wooden frame on top, the wood is decent enough but could benefit from a light sanding before weatherproofing although it should be fine if you pass that step. The installation is a T-shaped bracket that is bolted by the stem of the T to the top hole. The flat part of the T has four holes - two for the end of one piece and two for the end of the other piece where they join. The pieces fit together like a puzzle. What made sense to me was to install the brackets on the aluminum frame first; then, on the floor, assemble the wooden frame like a puzzle, bottom side up (SEE PICTURE); turn the container upside down to align the brackets with the teeny tiny pilot holes for the short screws to screw the bracket under the wooden frame. I can't imagine how tough it could be to try and align the tops with the holes in the way they tell you to install it. It was easy to assemble right side down and flip the bin upside down and screw them together that way. I had no problems. You just need to make sure the brackets are aligned equally at the joints so you don't split the wood. The wood is soft, but if you split it, you can use wood glue and put it back together.NOTES: (1) the ones with wooden tops do not have a center support rod or wire to hold the sides together and prevent the container from bowing out. I think the wooden frame should hold it in place. (2) I would recommend sealing the 10 seams with exterior silicone sealant. Many people say food/kitchen grade so that's what I'll use. This will prevent dirt and water from leaking out the vertical seams (SEE PICTURE) - don't forget the holes. (3) I do like the bolt and nut system better than some of the other things I found with competitor products that used regular nuts or wing nuts. These seem to protect the bolt better. VERDICT: I have sealed all seams AND HOLES from the "tongues" which is a MANDATORY step if you want to keep water from leaking out the sides. I used almost 2 tubes of clear kitchen-safe exterior silicone on 8 containers. Also CAULK IT IN PLACE - the containers flex when you carry them around so that could break the seal, so just put it where you want it and caulk it there.I placed these on my concrete driveway for my garden because I didn't want crabgrass growing up into the bed. I placed a 6mm sheet of plastic to protect the concrete from staining, then I added a straw seed blanket with the photodegradable mesh as the base to hold in the dirt. Then I added a layer of mulch to help fill the bucket. After that, I had about 3 cubic feet of raised garden bed soil to add. Miracle Grow's version is about $10 a bag for 1.5 cubic feet, so you need 2 bags for each container.Overall, I am really happy with these raised garden beds so far. I'll revise my review as time goes on because there are so many options out there, and I did a lot of research before landing on this one.Photos show the installation I used for the tops, all my containers lined up, the "tongues" on the panels, the gaps without caulk, and the big nut that goes inside at the top and the bottom of each panel.

This past summer was my first attempt at using these planting beds and to say that I was pleased with them would be an understatement! I purchased them to replace the black fabric gardening bags that I had used in previous years to grow tomato plants along my fence row. WOW -- my tomatoes were SO happy!!! And, a fabulous by-product of these attractive beds is that they are just tall enough to keep my two small, male dogs from "watering" my tomatoes! Such a bonus!I am a 60 year old woman and I found the units very easy to assemble with no additional tools aside from the one provided and a pair of scissors to cut the banding that goes around the top to cover sharper edges. When the boxes arrive, it's hard to imagine how such a small package could contain one of these beds, but the packaging is brilliant and in short order, I had the beds assembled and in place. They have thus far remained looking exactly as they did when I initially placed them -- no rusting, fading or discoloring in any way.I would 10 out of 10 recommend them.

Haven’t used this in the garden yet . This feels very sturdy . The color is a beautiful off white. And it was very easy to assemble . Definetly will be purchasing more

I usually don't leave product reviews on Amazon, but this product really impressed me. It's high quality and easy to assemble. Highly recommended and excellent value for money!

The one concern I have is the use of electroplating v/s Hot Dipped Gallivanting. Hot Dipped will last much longer than electroplating. (One commenter thought it was Stainless Steel!). Otherwise it was easy to assemble, I liked the provision of an Allen Wrench to aid in the assemble.

They worked perfect all summer. I’ll be buying more next summer.

Love these! I’m going to be ordering more. Easy to put together and planted my garlic today.

それなりの値段はするが購入すべき商品。向こう何十年と使用することを考えれば高くはない。木製とは異なり腐蝕などの恐れはないため安心。組み立ては15分程度でとても簡単。手製のレイズドベッドに不安がある方にはかなりオススメ。

HUBBY BOUGHT THESE TO MAKE RAISED BEDS FOR A SMALL GARDEN. HE IS NOW ORDERING ANOTHER SET AS HE RETIRED AND IS MAKING MORE BEDS. CAME WITH GREAT INSTRUCTIONS AND EXTRA BOLTS. WHEN I ASKED THE SELLER A QUESTION THEY WERE EXTREMELY HELPFUL. THESE ARE A REAL PLUS.
