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

When my box arrived I looked and said " great another chewap flimsy garden bed. I was WRONG! these come packaged vet tiny and I will admit this fits the bill of packing a punch and able to withstand some abuse. all of the hardware and extras were present, the simplsicty of the design, makes it nearly impossible to mess up when assembling. initially it felt flimsy, once all of the hardware was in place and it was assemlemd it still felt light and crushable. To date these have been run over by the atv, the lawnmower and an 8ft fence panel. slight scratches and dents are all!! i have expected to replace these countless times, however, i go over, move it back in place to be run over again at a later time. these are super light weight, easily carried across the field or even drug behind, surprisingly heavy duty!! Great value, I originally started with 4, i am purchasing 4 more during the fall and I'm sure 4 more in the spring. very limited on color options, but these have held up great with the rust oleum paint products line.

Last year we bought these and were happy with them we decided to purchase another set. They are lightweight and easy to assemble. I live in the rough climate of west Texas and with all of our crazy weather these done very well!

I’ve purchased 7 of these in various sizes while expanding my garden. Four of the 6×3×1 Land Guard beds, one 4×2×1 and two 8×4×1. Most of them were great — easy to assemble, sturdy for the price, and they look great. They wont last a lifetime, but they will last me many growing seasons until i'm ready to upgrade! I have them all set up in my backyard now already growing or still in the process of getting filled with soil for my fall crops. For the price, these are a great deal. However, two of the 2pc 6×3×1 kits came with defective coupling nuts — the long metal connector that secures the center support bar. On those two beds, the nut was too short, so the threaded rods stuck out on both sides and couldn’t tighten down properly. That made the bar loose and unstable. I went outside and checked the 5 I had already installed and none of them had this issue. The coupling nut fit the threads in flush and the bar was secure. Included pics of the defective pieces as well as a picture of one of the rods from the 5 that worked fine. I contacted Amazon customer service for a replacement, and while they were responsive and helpful, the (2) replacements I received had the same defect. So instead of fixing the issue, I ended up with three unstable sets. Amazon eventually processed a return but this shouldn’t have happened and now I'm short two beds in my garden. I don't have extra coupling nuts laying around so I would have to buy extra pieces just to make this item work. The other five beds were perfect, so I know this was a quality control issue, not user error. These are a great budget-friendly option if you get a good batch. But check all your hardware before assembly, especially the coupling nut. Don’t assume every box is packed the same.

Easy to put together, looks super nice, and is sturdy

Dents easily, otherwise easy to put together. Garden looks super organized. Great deal. I bought a 2 foot by 2 foot circular metal to create high for rose bushes.

Easy to put together, big and deep. Got a lot of plants in it. Holds up great!

Overall seems to be good quality and easy to put together. Did take me about 30-40 mins to put one together but it is not difficult. Pretty light but still seems durable. Came with a few extra screws and bolts. You will need a screw driver. Excited to start using this for my garden!

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.
