I ordered this as I need better beds than the wooden ones I built 2 years ago where the wood has already rotted in places. What is not to love about galvanized, corrugated iron beds? This one will last some time I would imagine. Pretty easy to assemble if you know what a screwdriver is. You won't be disappointed.

I've been using raised flower beds in my garden for several years now. I have a few that I purchased and a few that I put together myself from spare materials. The ones that I purchased are all very similar in a sense that they all made out of galvanized steel, and they all come in as panels that needs to be connected together. What made this one different is the use of the corner pieces and the brace in the middle, as well as the fact that I noticed that the steel itself was a bit thinner than on my other raised flower beds. The assembly takes about 15-20 min and is very basic. Just a lot of screws and bolts to secure everything together but nothing strange or complicated. The final result is a pretty large flower bed that looks pretty decent. Although I noticed that the structure itself is very wobbly and shaky compared to my other flower beds. When moving it to a set location, I noticed that there was some bending of the metal that I have not seen before. Pretty sure that the corner pieces are not the same metal as the rest of the panels. Some corner pieces got bent during shipping and I was able to bent them back in place with just my fingers. So the entire structure does not feel very solid. I'm not overly concerned about it, as I have a feeling that once I set the bed in place, it's going to sit there pretty solid. One more thing that I wasn't crazy about is the bumper trim. It's a nice addition and not all of the flower beds that I got came with it, but here's the catch. The way the corner pieces are set, there's no way to run the bumper trim all the way around. You'd have to cut it, to fit each of the four sides, so just a little extra work. Overall is a pretty decent flower bed that's somewhat reasonably priced. Some things could have been done better but I still expect this to serve in my garden for years to come and grow plenty of flowers and veggies.

This steel raised bed container is a nice addition to my garden. It was easy to assemble and is big enough to put in a small vegetable garden. The amount of dirt that is needed isn't that bad. I am very happy with the look and the convenience of having a small garden. To have a garden near the house is helpful because the woodland critters love to eat everything. This allowed me to set up near my deck and behind a fence that keeps the animals away. A great purchase.

Of all the garden beds I’ve been sent over the years, this one was the best packaged. It was completely wrapped in a light foam sheet, which proved a good idea since the journey to my door was rough enough it burst the bag the bolts were in.This is one of the larger beds you can get and it’s a great price at $43 for 18 square feet of growing space. Nice corner pieces that cut off the otherwise sharp corners so you don’t catch your ankles as you move around the garden. It also includes a supportive tie across the middle to keep the pressure of water and soil from bowing it out of shape.Protective finish on the inside and outside of the steel plates helps keep the metal from breaking down from watering or weathers. They also included a ‘safety edge’ flexible guard to put down on the upper edge of the bed so it won’t have exposed sharp edges.One of our big challenges out here in the rural hills is moles – who can move through any type of terrain, so we’ll be adding hardware cloth underneath to discourage them. I can’t think they will eat through metal, but one never knows!The Amazon page has a 4 minute assembly video which covered everything I could possibly have needed to know for putting it together.Great product, great price, very well thought out.

The packaging was unharmed ….but when putting the product together, noticed several edges where bent. I cut my hand on one of the corner pieces … I was going to return and just hammered the pieces the best I could. I’m hoping the black rubber still will fit and protect the edges …. I did the best that that I could to work with what was shipped to me

Assembly was simple, and everything fits properly. The galvanized metal should hold up to many years of use. The corrugated sides hold up to the weight of soil, and cross braces help keep it rectangular to prevent bowing along the long sides. The fasteners are easy to use, with no issues with threads or the heads being deformed. It takes some time to install all of the screws, butting so it rather simple. I assembled it in halved on a long table, and then connected the two halved. Once assembled, one person can carry the raised bed around the yard if necessary.

If you plan to tackle this project solo, then I applaud you, as I had some trouble with everything at first. It is well made though and has been holding up to the weather changes we've had lately.It's deep enough to really start a garden, and it's small enough that I don't feel overwhelmed while tending to the veggies and such.

This raised bed from the porayhut store was very easy to set up. Connecting the panels with the included screws was a repetitive task. The material is galvanized metal, standard for this type of raised beds. I plan to fill it with soil and place my transplants. Based on experience, plants grow much better in raised beds. I would recommend this raised bed to a friend!
