    We added a bunch of these planters along the side of our big, pretty industrial looking, shop building. They have added a lot of space to grow herbs, flowers, and veggies as well as a lot of beauty to an otherwise not very attractive spot on our property. The beds are well made with much stouter metal sheets than I was expecting for the price. They were well packed for shipping and arrived with no damage at all. They are not hard to assemble, but it is much easier with two people and a power screwdriver. Doable with one person and by hand, but if you are assembling 9 of them, that would take a while. The most time consuming part, like others have mentioned, is getting the parts out of their packaging. This seems like something the company could easily fix. Prying every wing nut and bolt free from it’s sticky shrink wrap and having to peel the plastic coating off each metal sheet takes about half of the total time of assembling. While the bubble wrap between sheets that is already there would prevent scratching and putting the hardware in a bag that does not require prying every little piece loose would cut the time to assemble in half while not detracting from anything else. Other than that factor, assembly was quite simple. They are quite sturdy once all the bolts are tightened. We filled with cardboard, then small branches, then a mix of topsoil and well rotted wood chips. We made sure to fill in layers, watering and semi compacting each layer carefully so as to not push any of the sides out of square as we went, but it seemed like that would be fairly hard to do with how sturdy the assembled box is. The finished beds are a wonderful height for working in without bending. They are big and deep enough (we have 6’x3’x2′ beds) to hold moisture pretty well, even in our dry climate, so constant watering is not required. So far, in their first year, they look like they are holding up in like new condition and we expect to get many years and probably a lifetime of use from these beds. We are more than happy with the purchase and would buy more if we ever need beds in another location.

    1 year update — these garden boxes have worked out very well. I have them on a slight slope and dug a bit in to the slope on the back side of each box to ensure each box is level. I currently have 7 of the 6’x3’x2’ boxes. I assembled them myself and moved them to the garden on my own. Not terribly difficult but an extra set of hands would have been helpful.The boxes feel a little flimsy upon being built but once they were places & filled, they were fine. I am careful not to lean on the edges of the boxes as they would surely bend. Also, the support bars are very lightweight and bend very easily, if you’re not careful.As a side note, I did not use the rubber edging/trim that comes w/each box. I can’t imagine it would stay in place & I saw no benefit.I placed my boxes in 2 rows, the rows and boxes are all 3’ apart & the spacing worked out very well. It was easy to maneuver around each of the boxes. I added a hog panel arched ‘trellis’ between the 2 rows of beds. I did not need to use t-posts to secure the hog panel as it is wedged between 2 of the garden boxes (end-to-end).As the boxes are a pretty good size, it took quite a lot to fill them & I followed the ‘lasagna’ method for filling w/cardboard on the bottom, then branches & twigs and leaves & lawn clippings. Then a layer of compost, more grass clippings and finally a mix of garden & top soil. Once planted, I kept the beds mulched all season long w/fresh layers of grass clippings.The boxes are open to the ground on the bottom & I had no issues with drainage. Also, the use of grass clippings as mulch helped minimize the amount of hand watering I needed to do (we did not use any chemicals on our lawn!). Initially, I used hay as mulch for a couple of my boxes & spent the entire season picking weeds from those beds (lesson learned)! The grass mulch definitely helped but I feel like I still watered a fair bit (south facing, full South Carolina sun).I made hoops from bamboo that I split & used 3 hoops per bed & covered them with netting held down w/garden staples to keep birds & other critters at bay. This worked great, even kept the deer out.I added a small compost container with a screw top lid (I cut off the bottom of the container & buried each container so the lid was at the top of the soil). Throughout the season, I added kitchen scraps… egg shells, fruit/veggie peels/skins, etc. to the containers but I think I’ll skip this step this coming season. I’ll continue to compost but will do so in my central compost setup and will amend the soil in the boxes w/compost, as needed.By the end of the growing season, I had experienced multiple inches of settling in each box, as a result of the breakdown of the components of my initial fill method. I expect I’ll add a few inches of a mix of compost, grass clippings/leaves and garden/top soil before planting my boxes this spring.I really do like these garden boxes a lot. They are functional & I am very happy with how they look & how they’re holding up. In fact, I plan to purchase one more box this spring, for a total of 8.

    We got this raised flower bed for my wife to use as a garden and she really likes it. She likes the county design and brownish color. The flower bed is very tall so if your planning to fill it all with soil you will need a lot. The flower bed itself is made of a metal that does seem a little flimsy but once you put your dirt in it holds its shape quite well. Fare warning this does take a long time to put together! It is easy to put together and follow the directions but there’s so many screws and such. So just be prepared for that. Once you put it together it is a little heavier and awkward to handle by yourself so you may need another person to help move it to where it’s going. It is a nice size though and has plenty of room for all your crops. Overall my wife does really like this raised flower bed but it doesn’t take quite awhile to out it together.

    The sections for the raised beds were well packaged and received in perfect condition. It was easy to assemble but it did take me much longer than the 45 minutes indicated in the instructions. They are really nice and sturdy and will make my gardening much easier.

    This is terrific = well made, sturdy and not difficult to assemble. I am an 80 year old woman and put it together myself – spacing it out an hour or two over 2 days. There are an abundance of wing nuts and screws which all worked (threaded) with some extras in case. The whole unit, when complete is easy enough to move around as needed. I haven’t filled it yet and will need help with that – but so far I can’t say anything negative about it and I can’t wait to fill and start growing things in it!

    Berry garden boxes
    We have put them in our garden for berry bushes. Love this colour, blends great in the yard.Not thick material but works great!

  7. Liam Gainey

    Sturdy and spacious
    These are perfect for deep root vegetables for anyone who can’t make their own planter box from wood or doesn’t want to deal with them rotting.

    Excellent Flower Boxes
    I previously had wooden boxes along the side of my house that were rotting. Decided to purchase these to replace the wooden ones. They weren’t the exact dimensions, but were super easy to modify. Just marked them with a grease pencil, cut them with a grinding wheel and drilled some new holes. I’m super happy with how they look. The down fall to them is that I think the cross supports are a little weak. Either they should be stronger or a piece of angle should run down the front and back bolt seams and then have the cross braces. I would definitely recommend them.

    Takes a little longer to assemble than expected.
    Like the height of the garden.

    Customer service was great, the product not
    I didn’t get it on time and customer service was great- I got it next day after their intervention.But the product is not good- not sturdy, very easy bending, cheap made.For the same price I got other garden beds- stainless steel, tough ones , really good quality.I will keep this one s I did assemble it but I will not recommend this product.
