Land Guard Galvanized Raised Garden Bed Kit, Galvanized Planter Raised Garden Boxes Outdoor, Oval Large Metal Raised Garden Beds for Vegetables(Grey)4×2×1ft(1pcs)

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.

Bought the 24 x 48 x 12H unit. Happy wife with three of these setup and full of dirt. Price is good for the unit, lots of screws, but battery drill and wrench gotter done... I put a 24" rebar driven in ground on outside center of straight section to keep sides from expanding. The short 12" units no doubt dont take the pressure of the taller units, but coorigated material is thin and will bend (on sides) if you compress dirt in planter. A good deal compared to a galvanized water trough and we went shorter to require less dirt to fill.

This item arrived on time and complete with all the parts to assemble. The assembly takes a bit of time as this item comes in 8 separate pieces and takes 4 screws (with washers) to assemble each piece together. Once assembled it is true to size, I ordered the 4x2x1. The material is thin, lightweight and has a cheap feel. I purchased spring of 2024 and after a year it has held up great after going through a New England winter with a couple feet of snow. The metal has not tarnished or chipped and looks exactly like the day I first bought it. Good value for the price.

So happy with my order I bought a second (and third) set for my mom. These are sturdy, yet lightweight enough to move around (before adding dirt, that is). Assembly is a little time consuming, but not too difficult, and easy for one person. They work well, are a great size and do not rust over time, or at least not yet (it's been 3 years since I bought my first set). Also, do yourself a favor and follow the instructions the first time you assemble, if you don't it won't 'fit' right, and you'll have to start from scratch!

Got this as our very first raised bed. After moving to a house with very limited yard space we decided to go with raised beds. This was perfect for a small starting garden or someone just getting into the hobby. Easy to assemble, and easy to move once assembled as it's smaller. Build quality is sturdy and has held up just fine. Overall, a good starting point for a new gardener or someone just trying to add something small!

This was very simple to put together. You really only need a small drill or if you don’t have one just a Phillips screwdriver. This flower bed was probably the easiest thing I’ve assembled from amazon. It seems sturdy for what the material is but I’m sure once the dirt and what not is inside it will be perfect.
