Land Guard Galvanized Raised Garden Bed Kit, Galvanized Planter Garden Boxes Outdoor, Oval Large Metal Raised Garden Beds for Vegetables…………

Fantastic Raised Garden Beds: Easy Assembly & Great Quality!I recently purchased two sets of these raised garden beds and couldn't be happier! Assembly was easy, taking just about an hour for both set a just myself. The instructions were clear, and all the parts fit together perfectly.Beyond the simple setup, the quality is excellent. They feel sturdy and well-made, designed to withstand the elements and provide a durable home for my plants for seasons to come. I was also really impressed with the packaging, it was excellent, ensuring all pieces arrived in perfect condition without any dents or scratches.These raised garden beds are absolutely perfect for what I needed them for. They provide ample space for various crops and will look great in my yard. I highly recommend them if you're looking for a combination of easy assembly, great quality, and superb value in your gardening setup. You won't be disappointed!

Edit: The company replaced the hardware pretty quickly, and now the beds will have structural integrity. I can't wait to plant things this spring. I 100% recommend these raised beds.These are great. They look great and are true to size. I found them easy to assemble. However, I was short some of the hardware, and when I tried to use the nuts I had on hand, they did not fit. I contacted the company as Amazon suggested, and although they responded courteously, they referred me back to Amazon. Amazon does not replace missing parts. They're suggestion was to return the items. Since they were already assembled, I didn't feel this was an option. So I have four missing connections, which will definitely negatively affect the structural integrity.

I’ve purchased 7 of these in various sizes while expanding my garden. Four of the 6×3×1 Land Guard beds, one 4×2×1 and two 8×4×1. Most of them were great — easy to assemble, sturdy for the price, and they look great. They wont last a lifetime, but they will last me many growing seasons until i'm ready to upgrade! I have them all set up in my backyard now already growing or still in the process of getting filled with soil for my fall crops. For the price, these are a great deal.However, two of the 2pc 6×3×1 kits came with defective coupling nuts — the long metal connector that secures the center support bar. On those two beds, the nut was too short, so the threaded rods stuck out on both sides and couldn’t tighten down properly. That made the bar loose and unstable. I went outside and checked the 5 I had already installed and none of them had this issue. The coupling nut fit the threads in flush and the bar was secure. Included pics of the defective pieces as well as a picture of one of the rods from the 5 that worked fine.I contacted Amazon customer service for a replacement, and while they were responsive and helpful, the (2) replacements I received had the same defect. So instead of fixing the issue, I ended up with three unstable sets.Amazon eventually processed a return but this shouldn’t have happened and now I'm short two beds in my garden. I don't have extra coupling nuts laying around so I would have to buy extra pieces just to make this item work. The other five beds were perfect, so I know this was a quality control issue, not user error.These are a great budget-friendly option if you get a good batch. But check all your hardware before assembly, especially the coupling nut. Don’t assume every box is packed the same.

I was surprised at the light weight of the units. Both 8'x4' came in a single box weighing 33#. The light weight aluminum panels made them easy to handle and assemble. Assembly was straightforward. The panels are 2' long and have 4 holes pre-drilled in each end. These holes were accurate and smooth as were the edges of the panels. While I wore light gloves, there was little opportunity for cuts or splinters. The kits came with packets of hardware, nuts, bolts and connectors for the center support rods. Happily the nuts and 1/2" bolts were all galvanized which should improve their longevity.The one complaint I have is they did a poor job filling the hardware packets. There were twice too many connectors, far too many bolts and not quite enough nuts. This wasn't a big deal, they just wasted some of their own money.The nuts and bolts seemed of good quality. Only 1 bolt out of 100 or more was defective, all the nuts screwed on easily and the galvanized coating was very even.I bought 2 sets (4 raised beds) with the notion of stacking them to make 2' tall, raised beds as my 77-year-old back complains loudly when bending over for a time. This worked quite well. I ended up buying 10 more 3/4" bolts as the 1/2" bolts that were supplied were too short to get started on some of the curved panels which were 4 layers thick where I spliced them together. The longer bolts saved my day! If you decide to do as I did and stack them, don't build the two units and then try to join them together as I did on my first set. It was exceedingly difficult. When I built the second set, I built the lower half, then attached the 2 straight side panels on each side, complete with their support rods. Then I began adding the curved end pieces one at a time. Because the diameter of the curve was increased slightly, some of the holes didn't match where the two sections joined and I had to re-drill them but that was only needed on 2 or 3 holes. It took me about 2.5 hours to completely assemble the second 4'x8'x 2' raised bed. Tools needed are simple. An 11mm open end wrench, A Phillips screwdriver and an electric screwdriver (very helpful as there are many bolts) and a 1/4" drill bit if you stack them as I did. BTW, the photo shows a completed unit sitting on a 24'x 4'x 2' raised bed I built out of treated lumber. It cost over $1000 3 years ago compared to $270 for these beds. PS, It remains to be seen how well they hold up when filled with dirt.

Good quality. Pieces fit perfectly. Easy to install with included nuts and bolts. Looks good with organic garden soil mix and plants/flowers. For sloped/ unlevel ground we use shim blocks under low side to make top level. Need screwdriver, pliers, gloves, safety glasses. Top and bottom edges are not sharp. Left 2-in space for adding mulch or pine straw. Looks good.
