Vego garden Raised Garden Bed Kits, 17" Tall 9 in 1 8ft X 2ft Metal Raised Planter Bed for Vegetables Flowers Ground Planter Box-Modern Gray

Update: I now have 8 of these raised beds by Vego as of July 2025. My first Vego raised bed from 2022 is going strong and looks like new, even with mowing and weed whacking around it. Nothing damages these raised beds. Original review: Over the course of two years I've increased to 6 of these Vego Garden raised beds, a real upgrade from the wood bed and random pots I'd been growing vegetables in. The quality is excellent. The materials aren't flimsy and the beds are sturdy and maintain their shape when filled with dirt. Assembly is tedious, but not a complete deal breaker. The first time ever assembling one took awhile, but now it takes me a little over an hour of continuous work to assemble one completely. Speed of assembly greatly increased when Vego switched to a nut design that had the washer already attached to it, versus having to put a separate washer and nut on each bolt. I think assembly would be easier if I had some sort of ratcheting wrench or even a drill with a socket attachment to tighten everything. Since I don't, I use the tiny socket wrench enclosed with the parts kit, which is a tedious task. Each metal panel is wrapped on both sides with plastic that has to be removed, but once you get a corner pull started, the plastic rips off quickly. I've bought so many of these because they're sturdy and I really like the olive green color. I think it makes my garden area look planned and intentional, versus thrown together. The major drawback is cost. There are other cheaper alternatives offered here on Amazon--but I think quality varies greatly according to reviews. I guess I'd rather pay more for something I know will last a long time, claims to be made of food safe materials, and won't fall apart or rust-- especially since I'm growing edible items in the beds.

This is a wonderful raised bed kit. It’s durable, easy to assemble, and looks great in the garden. The 17’’depth is ideal for planting a variety of vegetables. I couldn’t be happier with the quality and will definitely buying more.

Love these Vego Raised Garden Bed Kits! I purchased four of them and created an amazing vegetable garden. They are 17” tall, the metal panels are thick and durable. Simply screw the panels together using the predrilled holes into the pattern you want. There are many configurations that can be made and the instructions lay out all the different shapes you can make very easily. The kit itself is very heavy, I simply unboxed it and set it up right on the lawn so it was easy to move where I desired once put together. I filled with good garden soil and planted away! Once the season was done I simply removed any dead vegetation and walked away. These beds do not rust and are perfect for year round. Amazing value for the money if you are unable to garden in the ground.

I needed a new flowerbed to spruce up the back yard. This one worked out great. The color is as described. It was easy to put together (my husband). The bracing rods worked well. A couple of the panels were bent but he was able to straighten them out so didn't contact seller.

these are wonderful. I ordered 4 last year and when I saw them on sale I ordered 2 more for next year. They are wonderful. I had plenty of room for almost everything. I wanted to add more flowers next year so that's why I ordered 2 more. Easy to weed and keep looking good - not back breaking - I actually put fences up in the middle of each one so I could plant vines - there was plenty of room on both sides of the fence.

I have 3 of these and they are fantastic. Sturdy, holds soil well, and easy to put together. Packaged well and high quality from the actual beds to all the nuts and bolts. I have the grey color and they are just as pictured.

We just got the product, so I cannot comment on the long term performances. The material seems good quality, the hardware (bolts and nuts) is all stainless steel, good quality (and that is expensive stuff). However the assembly is a little tedious. With good tools (I used an powered screw driver and a 10mm rachet). Then I put together two plastic tables, because otherwise you have to work on the floor and that would have killed my back! All in all it takes more than an hour, you have to screw A LOT of bolts and nuts, and then you have to tighten them again as the metal settles. IF was shipped in a larger box with larger signle components I think it would be better, but once you are done, agian, they look and feel good.

6/1/26: I bought this kit in 2023 and it has been one of the best decisions I have made for my garden. It was super easy to put together and has been a relief and joy in which to plant my veggies! I am amazed that there is not even a scratch on it after 2 years of use. I plan to order an additional bed just like this soon!

This was so easy to put together, it’s sturdy and the edges are not sharp. They gave great, easy instructions and their website has wonderful videos! Great product. Wish I had 10 of them!

It shows at least two configurations, but it only is set up for one.

I expected the version I bought to come with the bars to fasten to the inside and stop buckling but was able to bushcraft stainless wire to the nuts and it seems to do the trick. Fingers crossed
