Raised Garden Bed Kit, 4x2x1 ft Galvanized Planter Box Outdoor with Safety Edging, Large Metal Raised Beds for Gardening Vegetables Flower Herb (Avocado Green)

I wanted to add some raised beds for growing perennial vegetables and maybe some blueberries. After looking around, I settled on this. First, it's fairly heavy duty. The delivery box was pretty compact, but it was also pretty heavy. Unboxing took two minutes. Assembly took an hour.Why an hour? I actually removed all of the protective film from each panel, which took a bit. Then I assembled it using the provided tools. This was a mistake.PRO TIP: If you own a decent screwdriver set and a small ratchet or electric screwdriver, break those out. Assembly will go a LOT faster and with a LOT LESS frustration. The tools provided are serviceable, but better tools means faster assembly.Assembly is very straightforward. 14 overlapping panels with six bolts, nuts, and washers at each overlap. That's 84 bolts, nuts, and screws. Fortunately, the hardest assembly decision was deciding whether to mount the screws with the Philips head side out or the cap nut side out. (I chose Philips head side out, looks cleaner.)Once all the panels are assembled, you just place the edge liner over the top edge and press it down firmly all the way around. BTW, the edge liner is pretty top tier stuff.PRO TIP: To get a matching cut on the edge liner, I used a pair of EMT shears, overlapped the ends, then cut them so that their angles exactly matched.When placed, I laid in some garden fabric to keep out any plants that might think they want to grow to sun through 18" of soil. I also laid a path of fabric around the outside of the unit and mulched it heavily.Overall, I'm pretty happy with the unit. The metal is a fairly thick gauge, so I expect it to last for decades (seriously). I'll very likely buy a few more as my veggie garden expands. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.UPDATE: One thing I forgot to mention: filling this bed to a serviceable level took 20 bags of garden soil (30 cubic feet total). Add about 3 bags of mulch and you'll be about an inch below the top edge of the unit. Having a yard of soil delivered (3'x3'x3', or 27 cubic feet), will be cheaper and leave room for a couple of bags of your favorite soil amendment.

These raised beds were easy to assemble. I felt I got the most bang for the buck! No annoying metal brackets to hold the sides together! The metal was thick and sturdy. It came with the tools I needed for assembly along with knit gloves to protect my hands, if needed. I didn’t need to use the gloves. It was a bit tedious with the nuts, bolts, and washers, but this is what made it so sturdy along with the thick metal! Afterwards, I used the plastic guard along the top to protect you from the metal edges. That was a nice touch! But no metal edges were sharp, it was pretty high quality! To fill it with soil, it takes about 5-2 cubic feet bags of raised bed soil. I’m ecstatic about this purchase and I’m excited to be using them!

I've tried a few brands of modular raised garden beds and this one has been the best so far. I'm sure it's not perfect, but it's relatively easy to set up, the panels line up pretty well, and the rubber protective stripping is sturdy, easy to put on, and easy to cut for a nice-looking seal. I wish it came in more colors, but considering the price, quality, and ease of set up (it took me about 30 minutes to an hour) I'd recommend this brand.

Was looking for garden box with open bottom to fit narrow space. This fit the area perfectly. Green color is really nice. Once assembled it's lightweight enough to easily move into location. Sturdy when loaded with dirt, sides down bulge out like with plastic planter boxes. Wear garden gloves before touching/grabbing any metal pieces. The edges are sharp and cut fingers easily. Gloves are provided in the kit but they are packed underneath one sheet of the metal. Sliced the finger trying to move to top metal piece out of box. All tools are included for assembly. The rubber strip for the top is great and much needed safety feature.

It took a while to put together, but it was easy to do. It comes with all the tools needed to assemble. And the metal pieces had a film of protective plastic, to keep it from getting scratched up. My only complaint, is its not exactly 6ft. It's sclose enough thou...it looks good, metal is not flimsy, and does the job. This adds a bit of beauty to my garden/yard. I like it so much, i bought two more.

I purchased this as my first introduction into raised beds and have since had a growth explosion of herbs and garlic. I was even inspired to purchase another larger version in the same colour since it was so easy to assemble and very cost effective. The quality is great and I have no complaints.

Like other revirews. It takes a while to remove plastic cover off the metal. I love everything about it. It's a good size and weight. Thick metal. Not sure about rust. They said it's rust resistant but im not quite sure about it. I haven't moved it outside yet. Still figure out where should i put it. It took some time to install but it's so easy. Just a lot of screws. They've got every tools you would need.

Really nice garden beds. Came with everything needed to assemble. Easy to put together. Very sturdy, nice looking and very affordable. I will purchase more.

Very easy to use, looks great and is helping me grows some awesome Tomato's
