Land Guard Galvanized Raised Garden Bed Kit, Galvanized Planter Garden Boxes Outdoor, Oval Large Metal for Vegetables…………

I’m so happy with my Land Guard Galvanized Raised Garden Bed! It was incredibly easy to assemble — took me only 15–20 minutes using just hand tools. I filled it with 3 bags of NEARSOURCE ORGANICS Organic Raised Bed and Container Mix Soil (1.5 cu. ft. each), and it could have easily held a fourth bag, but I left a little space on purpose. The bed feels sturdy, looks great in my garden, and offers plenty of room for planting. I’m so excited to keep growing in it — I already want another one! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a quick, durable, and roomy raised bed. 🌱🌼

I was surprised at the light weight of the units. Both 8'x4' came in a single box weighing 33#. The light weight aluminum panels made them easy to handle and assemble. Assembly was straightforward. The panels are 2' long and have 4 holes pre-drilled in each end. These holes were accurate and smooth as were the edges of the panels. While I wore light gloves, there was little opportunity for cuts or splinters. The kits came with packets of hardware, nuts, bolts and connectors for the center support rods. Happily the nuts and 1/2" bolts were all galvanized which should improve their longevity.The one complaint I have is they did a poor job filling the hardware packets. There were twice too many connectors, far too many bolts and not quite enough nuts. This wasn't a big deal, they just wasted some of their own money.The nuts and bolts seemed of good quality. Only 1 bolt out of 100 or more was defective, all the nuts screwed on easily and the galvanized coating was very even.I bought 2 sets (4 raised beds) with the notion of stacking them to make 2' tall, raised beds as my 77-year-old back complains loudly when bending over for a time. This worked quite well. I ended up buying 10 more 3/4" bolts as the 1/2" bolts that were supplied were too short to get started on some of the curved panels which were 4 layers thick where I spliced them together. The longer bolts saved my day! If you decide to do as I did and stack them, don't build the two units and then try to join them together as I did on my first set. It was exceedingly difficult. When I built the second set, I built the lower half, then attached the 2 straight side panels on each side, complete with their support rods. Then I began adding the curved end pieces one at a time. Because the diameter of the curve was increased slightly, some of the holes didn't match where the two sections joined and I had to re-drill them but that was only needed on 2 or 3 holes. It took me about 2.5 hours to completely assemble the second 4'x8'x 2' raised bed. Tools needed are simple. An 11mm open end wrench, A Phillips screwdriver and an electric screwdriver (very helpful as there are many bolts) and a 1/4" drill bit if you stack them as I did. BTW, the photo shows a completed unit sitting on a 24'x 4'x 2' raised bed I built out of treated lumber. It cost over $1000 3 years ago compared to $270 for these beds. PS, It remains to be seen how well they hold up when filled with dirt.

Very good quality. Was not very hard to assemble. The most difficult part about the assembly is, if you don't have the right set of tools, you will have to hand tighten everything. It is not very heavy either.

So when I got this package I had to call Amazon to ask if there was more, the package was about a 4 inch square box, I thought I was short a box, but they said that was it.. so I opened it and what to do know!!! it was all there.. I put it together and thought, no sharp edge like I read in a review.. I seriously thought I was going to have to get something to put over the top edges.. but nope.. a little flimsy in the middle but nothing to be a serious concern, I was totally happy with this I ordered another, now I have 2... great purchase, well worth it

These were the best Amazon purchase I’ve made in a long time. I’m so happy with them and thrilled I can have an elevated area for my garden veggies. They took a while to put together but if you put on a movie or a good audiobook it goes quick. These are stable and since the bottom is open the drainage is great. I plan to get more next spring and hope they’re still available.

Great little raised bed garden container.Be sure to wear gloves when assembling it, the corners and edges can be sharp in places. The top rim can be a little sharp after assembling, so I used cut pool noodles to prevent any pinching or cutting. Not saying you have to use anything, just being on the safe side.

Very sturdy, clean look, and good capacity. No worry of wood rot or plastics leaching as with my old containers.If you have arthritic fingers/hands, or feel challenged with assembling things ... You might need a little help. My son-in-law did that with ease, but wore regular work gloves. The ones provided along with the instructions are very lightweight material for sharp edges. I'm very pleased with this product, and people have complimented the choice.
