I recently purchased the Land Guard 12×4×1ft Galvanized Raised Garden Bed Kit, and I must say, I'm absolutely thrilled with my purchase. Not only did it arrive quickly and in perfect condition, but it also provided me with countless hours of laughter and joy.As someone who has always been a bit of a green thumb, I was excited to start my own vegetable garden. But as someone who also has a bit of a knack for clumsiness, I was a little worried about the assembly process. Thankfully, the Land Guard kit was incredibly easy to put together, even for someone like me who once managed to break a nail hammering in a picture frame.Once the kit was assembled, I was amazed at the size of the garden bed. It's super large, which was perfect for my needs. I'm someone who tends to go overboard when it comes to planting, so having all that extra space was a dream come true. I could practically hear my plants cheering when I filled the bed with soil.But the real highlight of this product was watching my husband attempt to move it into place. You see, the Land Guard garden bed is quite large, and my husband is quite...well, not. I'll never forget the sight of him huffing and puffing as he tried to lift it onto the patio. He looked like he was attempting to move a boulder up a mountain. It was hilarious.Overall, I would highly recommend the Land Guard 12×4×1ft Galvanized Raised Garden Bed Kit to anyone looking to start a vegetable garden. It's easy to assemble, spacious, and sure to provide you with endless entertainment. Five out of five stars!Here are some useful tips and tricks that i learn to get the best of your raise bed:1. Properly prepare the location: Before assembling your Land Guard raised garden bed kit, choose a flat and level location that receives plenty of sunlight. Clear the area of any weeds or debris and level the soil if necessary.2. Use high-quality soil: The soil in your raised garden bed will play a crucial role in the success of your plants. Choose a high-quality soil mix that is designed for vegetable gardening, and consider adding compost or other organic matter to enrich the soil.3. Install a weed barrier: To prevent weeds from growing up through the soil in your raised garden bed, consider installing a weed barrier. You can use a layer of cardboard or newspaper, or purchase a weed barrier fabric.4. Water regularly: Raised garden beds tend to dry out more quickly than traditional gardens, so be sure to water your plants regularly. Depending on the weather conditions and the type of plants you're growing, you may need to water your garden bed every day.5. Consider adding trellises: If you're growing climbing plants like tomatoes or cucumbers, consider adding trellises to your raised garden bed. This will help support the plants as they grow, and make it easier to harvest the fruits and vegetables.6. Use natural pest control methods: Instead of using chemical pesticides, consider using natural pest control methods like companion planting or introducing beneficial insects to your garden. This will help keep your plants healthy without harming the environment.7. Rotate your crops: To prevent soil-borne diseases and pests from building up in your garden bed, rotate your crops each year. This means planting different types of vegetables in different spots each season.8. Mulch your garden bed: Mulching your raised garden bed can help retain moisture in the soil and prevent weeds from growing. Consider using a natural mulch like straw or shredded leaves.9. Harvest regularly: To keep your plants healthy and encourage continued growth, be sure to harvest your fruits and vegetables regularly. This will also help prevent over-ripening and spoilage.10. Take care of your garden bed: To ensure the longevity of your Land Guard raised garden bed kit, be sure to clean and maintain it regularly. Remove any debris or dead plants, and inspect the metal for signs of rust or corrosion.

Our old wooden garden boxes were rotting from many years of use. We decided to upgrade to the metal boxes because of the longevity in hope of not having the sides popping out like our wood ones started to after a few years. These arrived in a much smaller box than I imagined. I ordered the 4x12x1 size and the panels are 4 feet long so they connect in thirds with the included hardware. Not hard to set up, just be a little careful as there may be a sharp edge here or there. Directions are slim, but passible once you get the hang of it.I will say that these should be perfectly adequate for most uses, but are very thin metal. You can easily bend the metal just putting a very little force on it. We accidentally dropped the shovel handle on an edge while shoveling dirt in and it dented it. Fortunately, as easy as it dents, you can bend it back so no huge deal.Final Note - these require support bars (included as required) across the width dimension to hold the sides in structurally at the center two connections basically dividing the box into 4x4 squares. The support bars are like chopstick thickness at the bottom most and 3/4 connections so you can't see them after dirt is inside. This means you can basically no longer rototill them (if you did previously).Final-Final Note - for whatever reason the 4x12 seems to be the one that frequently goes on sale for cheaper than all the other options for more space. Pro tip they don't want you do know: you can adapt the 4x12 to the smaller sizes simply by not connecting all the panels. It can become 4x4, 4x8, or 4x12 (as they are all 4ft sections. You just build it to the size you want it. You can then just pop the end off and expand it later on if you need a larger raised bed.

Great product not hard to put together, but be careful when putting it together and filling, the metal is very thin and easy to bend. I bought 2 for strawberry plants, the raised beds would be great for herbs, a small garden, I would like to purchase more in the future

This product would have worked for me had there not been missing parts.But annoyingly, I'm 2 panels short; there were only 10 instead of 12. One of thin metal rods is also missing, and a few bolts.. I have assembled all the pieces so cannot return. The metal is lightweight, almost flimsy. The pieces were hard to put together because of some sharp edges. Some corners were bent. I had to straighten them out before assembling and it was tricky to do so. The box they came in was patched and taped together. Overall you get what you pay for. I bought it in the silver color. I have reached out to the seller to see if I can get the spare parts and complete it in time(I'm having soil delivered in a few days). Will update.

Easily assembled. Nice color. In the past year, I have assembled 4 different brands of raised beds, for myself and for family members. This one was by far the simplest. It was light enough that I had no problem carrying it to where I wanted it to be located from where I assembled it in the shade. (I am 5'2", 64 years old). It was a great value for the price.My only (minor) annoyance was that the plastic shrink wrap that held the pieces together for shipping, adhered to the corner caps. I couldn't get it peeled off- so it will have to weather off eventually.

Very easy to assemble by very senior woman and looks great. You will need a lot of soil to fill as they are deep. Well made. Great buy
