Land Guard 8ft Galvanized Raised Garden Bed Kit, Raised Garden Boxes Outdoor, Oval Metal Raised Garden Beds for Vegetables, Silver,108 Gallon Capacity(with 10 Connecting rods)

Sometimes you need a specific sized grow box that is both narrow and long at the same time. In this case I needed an 8 foot long grow box, that was 2 feet wide and a foot tall to sit next to a 4 foot wide one that I already had that is the same style, width and height. The 8' version made by Land Guard fit the bill. It is not too surprising since they also made the 4 foot wide one. This is not the most heavy duty grow box that you will ever find, but it is a deal that is had to beat for a grow box kit of this size. Assembly instructions are not great, but if you are in any way mechanically inclined assembly is fairly simple. I am sure the engineer that created the instructions felt they were pretty straight forward, but I am sure a lot of people will find them confusing. It is amazing that this grow box kit shows up in 12" x12" x 4" box that includes all of the pieces and assembly hardware. I seriously thought they shipped wrong kit. Overall it fits my needs and looks nice, what more could you ask for?

We have set it up about two weeks ago. We haven’t added our plants yet. It’s holding up well and it was light weight but appears durable. It was easy to assemble, great size too. It’s shiny and looks nice in the yard. Once I have it longer, I can update this. However, I do think it’s of great value. 11/23/2025- It’s been 3 months and it’s held up through windy weather, thunderstorms and extreme heat. It’s still very shiny, no rust and it remains in place. Our herbs and plants are thriving. I’ve added new photos as well. We are looking into purchasing another one soon. 04/16/2026 Update: We went through severe weather and it is still in great condition- no rust. Our herbs, spices and vegetables are thriving. As you can see the growth and how beautiful it looks. Once i am able, I am buying another. Great product, price and good size! I added a video…

I recently Ordered two of the Land Guard 8ft Galvanized Raised Garden Beds. Overall I’m pleased with the purchase as these are #6 and #7 of the total number I’ve purchased. They are easy to assemble and hold up quite well in my garden. However, on completion of the last garden bed I came up short on the support rods. Two of the rods are missing and one has no threaded end on one end of the rod making it unusable. Perhaps Land Guard can send me a set of replacement rods? Even still I will continue to use them as is by replacing the rods with nuts and bolts as they did provide extras. Additionally, two rods were bent but still usable. The product deserves a 5 star rating but due to the missing rods I can’t give it more than 4 stars.

Love the metal, all our wood planters would rot within 3 years and this one seems to be going strong in Florida weather. Very simple to assemble and looks very nice in the garden.

It takes a fair amount of time to assemble. The hardware is high quality. With extras included. You can decide for yourself how you want to space the cross brace ties.

Heavy duty. We'll braced. Easy to assemble even with 108 nuts & bolts 😀!

I must have misread the description because I thought this was 2 feet high, but it's only 1'. I had wanted it to help keep rabbits out of my green beans, but this isn't going to be high enough to do that. It's also not the most attractive planter, but should serve its purpose now that it's finally put together. The putting together was harder than it needed to be because there are virtually not directions. What the manufacturer seems to think should pass for directions is a printed sheet of paper listing the parts and a drawing of the planter with the parts labeled. Parts were another problem. Mine came with one defective bolt, it had no drive on the top so there was no way to insert a screwdriver in it to screw it in. As it turns out, I didn't need that bolt because I was also missing several of the cross supports. I ended up using the cross supports on the top and then only had 3 cross supports for the bottom. Since the supports come in two pieces, that means I was missing FOUR of these. How does it happen then this was packaged with four missing pieces? They were tied together in two bundles. with plastic ties, so they are likely made in bunches of a certain amount in each bunch, (should have been ten in each bunch) and the ties on mine were tight with no room for any more, so this was made this way at the factory. They didn't accidentally fall out. That would have been obvious as the ties would have been loose if some of them had fallen out. Perhaps the manufacturer should include a couple extra parts to accommodate for the odd defective part, and have some quality control so that whoever is putting the bunches of dividers together, counts them properly. I have the planter put together now and it took much longer than it should have, because of the lack of directions and missing and faulty parts. It is not as stable as it should be because of the missing parts, so time will tell how long it will hold together.

Good quality, looks very nice
