Utopia Home Galvanized Raised Garden Bed Kit 4x2x1ft, Planter Box Raised Garden Beds Outdoor, Easy Assembly Metal Raised Bed for Gardening Vegetables, Fruits, Flowers - Pack of 01 - Silver

My garden has taken on a few different variations. Over the years. I have built my own raised beds, I have done it in ground and now I am doing it to frame a porch. I was trying to do things differently to tackle different issues that I have. Be it bugs or the fact that my dogs like to eat everything in my garden now.QualityOn its own it is very flimsy. It has one crossbar that allows the center of each side some support. It gets much better once the dirt is inside and helps keep tension across the entire planter. It's a very good size planter so you're going to need some dirt to you fill it. It does have a beautiful look with a good finish. One aspect of this build that I do not like is that they use Wing nuts for the interior securing of bolts. They are both sharp and they stick out a bit. You can easily cut your hand on that. It would be nice if they had a better way of securing the sections of the planter. I do like that. They also provided gloves for construction. That is a nice bonus.SetupSetup was very easy. I highly suggest making sure that each panel is installed in such a way that the tension from filling helps hold it together versus pushing it outward. It doesn't say that in the instruction manual, but I think that's the most logical way to put it together.OverallIt seems like a very good product, and I'm interested to see how long it can last for. I have seen that a couple of my friends also purchased this after the fact so we'll have a chance to compare notes and ideas over time. Check out the pictures.

I knew from other reviews that this was not going to be heavy gauge, but once the soil is in I’m sure it will hold just fine. Easily assembled. I lined everything up to make sure it matched up correctly, then put top and bottom screws in (second photo). Get all the bolts in on the corner pieces as you go so you don’t struggle later. It helped to put one corner piece on to stabilize it while putting opposite corner pieces together (third photo). Also, for me, it was easier to turn the screw head to get the wing nut started as opposed to fumbling with turning the wing nut first. Don't use The gloves for that, but they help when you tighten everything later. Just be careful of the sharp edges. I didn’t use the plastic Rim guard because there was a cancer warning on the package.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This was perfect for my garden area and was the perfect size. It was easy to put together. I have noticed as the season is passing that it looks like it's buckling a little. Color:GraySturdiness:Yes, once the dirt is in it.Drainage:Yes, there is some room on bottom for this to drain.

I like these, they look nice and are easy to put together. I gave 4 stars because the material is thin and I'm concerned about how they will hold up through a New England winter. For the price, it's a great buy and exactly what we needed for our garden this year. Fingers crossed they survive the winter!

Looks great in my garden! Assembly was a bit tricky at first, but if you order multiples, you’ll figure out a flow to make it easier. Don’t follow the assembly order in the instructions. Assembling the curved panels first, then adding the side panels made it easier to match everything up and have the bolts all facing the same direction.

Makes my wife happy. They’re kind of a bear to put together with all the wingnuts and bolts, but once they’re together and filled with soil, they are nice and sturdy and seem to hold up well.

These are really beautiful since they are galvanized we didn’t have to worry about cutting our hands like other similar products. The color choices are great I love the gray. It was easy to put together and is essentially all you really need. The price is great. No need to spend the big bucks I’m happy with these.

I thought I was buying a tub… that would hold water. My fault, didn’t really read the full description. I was nervous to return it as it was my mistake but was treated to wonderful customer service. Which is priceless. I really appreciate how easy the seller made it for me. Highly highly recommend this product and seller. Bravo!
