4-in-1 Modular Raised Garden Bed Kit - Adjustable Sizes (5x3x1ft, 4x4x1ft, 6x2x1ft, 7x1x1ft) - Heavy Duty Galvanized Steel Planter Box with Bracing Rods & Gloves for Vegetables, Fruits

Living on the west central coast of Florida might seem like a great idea until you start looking for home grown vegetables. As a retired farmer I crave that taste. I have 2: 3' x 5' plant beds inside the screened pool cage which I am turning into raised garden beds. The 1' option is the perfect size for my needs. This arrives neatly packaged and double boxed. Each of the metal pieces have a thin protective film on them that need to be removed which I found was the worse part of the entire assembly. There is plenty of bolt and nuts and there was extra pieces included ( photo with my green glove). This set has all the tools necessary to assemble as well. It all goes together easily. I left the bolts loose until I have the entire piece assembled and in place and then I finish up by tightening everything before adding the dirt. My only complaint is the the support rods are not the correct length. Once you add the threaded sleeves the rods become way too long. These supports are very necessary and the only way I found to make them work is to leave the sleeves off of the ends and use a was with the wingnut on the outside. Even with this issue, the raised bed is a very good quality. This will be ample support and it does make the width perfect once filled with dirt. These are a very good value when compared to other similar products. They look great and will preform just fine.

Easy to set up. The color mix in with the surrounding lawn and plants well. The right size for my garlic chives.

Overall this is a decent planter. It's got flexible construction, allowing you to build it out in several different sizes, and the paint on the panels is nice and even with no blotchiness. Whoever makes this went to the effort of applying a protective plastic on each panel I assume to protect that nice finish, however that same plastic is a pain in the butt to remove. Also the edges of each panel are SHARP. I guess as a consolation to that they include a pair of gloves for you to use while assembling, but wouldn't it have been cheaper to finish each edge? The reason I even gave this four and not five stars is the mounting holes for the hardware. They're too big for the hardware provided. In the box you get screws and wingnuts for each hole; no washers. Now because the holes are a bit big, the bottom of each wingnut will slightly go through said mounting hold to a very small degree. Either make the holes smaller, or just include the proper amount of washers (at least 1 to go under each wingnut). Despite the big holes, the base of the wingnut protruding through has something of a centering effect, so the panels don't seem to want to fit very crooked if at all. I know it's just a planter, not an airplane, but still. Both issues are easy fixes that would lend the product a more quality finish.

I originally looked up a much more expensive version of this. I haven't had it for long but so far it holds up and looks great. Great garden surround. Easy to set up.

Excellent product. Very well made and sturdy. It is perfect for my new melon garden.

Very nice! Came promptly w/all that is needed to construct. Gloves, hardware etc. In good shape nothing dented etc.

Love that this bed can be made into a long one. Makes it convenient when you’re running out of space. I like this so much I ordered a couple and ordered my brother 2. Easy to put together

We got this last spring and it’s still looking great and we left it out all winter. It works perfectly for what we wanted!

Great quality sturdy product. Better than some others I had. Well presented, all fasteners and tools included. Would recommend.

I ordered this product the first time and it was unable to ship for some reason and refunded to me. I ordered it for the second time and it was missing essential components (the metal cross member pieces for stability) There aren't any options or anyone to speak to regarding this issue, I would be happy to keep the product and have them send me the missing items, however the only option I have is to do a full refund, sending the product back after I've already removed all the plastic and assembled the whole thing. Very disappointing ... extremely inconvenient, would not order from this brand again.
