vidaXL Garden Raised Bed, Heavy-Duty Galvanised Steel, DIY Outdoor Patio/Garden/Balcony Decor, Large Size for Plants/Vegetables/Herbs/Flowers, Grey, Weather Resistant, Easy Assembly Required

no sharp edges as some have mentioned, however there are alot of nuts and bolts and the sheet metal is thin (can bow slightly if you compact the soil to much), but when planted up they look great and do the job. Have purchased more :-)

I managed to assemble 2 of these in about 3 hours on my own, but it was not easy. Some care has to be taken to avoid distorting the panels, and I would certainly recommend getting some help to assemble. Once built, they are reasonably sturdy and can be moved to their final location by one person without too much difficulty. Time will tell how good the galvanising and coating is but it all looks OK.

I went with this thinking this is the cheapest garden bed for this size compared to the others, when it arrived I was surprised at how compact everything was, but as soon as I opened the package I realized what a mistake I've made. Here is the list of drawbacks, if I could go back in time I would have just bought some planks of wood for this job.- The sheet metal is paper thin, I mean real thin my initial thought on this is that it will not hold the weight for long before giving out. Compare to other sheet metal garden beds out there this is worrying.- Assembly was an absolute pain, the metal parts all have sharp edges I guess why they had to give you gloves that came with it. But it couldn't work with the screws with those gloves on. If you buy this expect to get small cuts all over your hands by the end of it. You will also need 2 people for this job which they should probably mention. It's pretty impossible to do it alone.- One of the reasons you buy a metal sheet raised bed is for longevity compared to untreated lumber. I can not see this lasting more than a year base on the poor material, I must stress again the sheet metal is worryingly thin to put a full container of soil in.

We used these for a garden renovation project. The planters take some time to put together but once all the nuts & bolts are tightened the planters are sturdy. They have made an impact on this garden & we are looking forward to adding plants. Customer Services were good dealing with a delivery issue we had & sorted this well.

I bought the small size to add in to my little garden allotment space and intend to grow pole beans in it. It was unfortunately dented here and there - nothing too bad but the metal IS very very thin and flimsy, and you have to be careful during assembly. The gloves provided prevent proper and efficient handling of the many screw and bolt fixings - like trying to crochet wearing boxing gloves - so I would advise snug-fitting rubber gloves instead, so that you can grip and manipulate the fixings whilst assembling. Once filled, it appears sturdy enough, and the volume of compost, soil, manure mixture etc used to fill it does not seem to buckle the sides - though I can see that if I’d bought a larger size I may well have problems in this regard. I already have two more sturdy raised wooden beds, so this was a fair budget option, for now; it remains to see how long it will last in terms of the weather and how robust it will be in use over time compared to the others….

Made the garden look very best and tidy.

Some buyers have complained about the instructions, which are scant and depend heavily on being able to interpret diagrams. I would add the following tips: 1. Most important, ensure the two holes in sections B are located at the outer ends of the sides; these are only required for the strengthening brackets fitted last and you would not like to discover at the end and have to take it all apart! 2. Ensure galvanised sides are inside, facing each other. 3. When joining the 3 B pieces, join the bottom hole first (as this is easiest one and helps locate for the others), then the top one, with L covers, and finally the 3 centre holes with the longest bolts up from below (galvanised side upwards) through K/B/B1 and then the 3 holes on D1. A board underneath K helps to bear down and hold the bolts in place. Make sure all the 4 hole edges on the D1 pieces point the same way (eg towards the ends). 4 Best to fix the corners caps H to the C pieces before connecting B and A sides, as this eases access to the nuts.

I didn't make the product found it too hard.

They takes forever to put together and very thin panels. Trying to think of a way to reinforce them or just scrap it and make a wood one. This is will never hold up to all that dirt. It will collapse the walls.

would not recommend this item.

ce bac se monte facilement même à une personne, il faut prendre soin de bien repérer les panneaux de coté et de fin, c'est un simple mécano, facile à assembler;.par contre une fois la terre mise en place le bac se déforme et gondole, aussi bien les panneaux que les cornières... même avec la terre sèche....si on ajoute le poids de l'eau d'arrosage c'est catastrophique et inutilisable, mais pourquoi le fabricant n'a-t-il pas doublé ou triplé l'épaisseur des matériaux, oui évidemment cela aurait été plus de 2 fois plus cher mais au moins utilisable, là il faut simplement fuir ce produit, c'est vraiment inutilisable...ça va passer à la poubelle recyclage métal….

Es ist schnell zusammen gebaut, es ist eine gute Alternative zu sehr viel teuren Hochbeeten.

parait fragile , à voir à l'usage
