GARLAND RAISED GROW BED - GREAT FOR BIGGER, EARLIER & HEALTHIER CROPS!

I read the reviews carefully before committing to buying and am very pleased with the raised bed. My DIY skills are limited but I managed to put it together within 15 minutes single handedly but it pays to take your time and be methodical. I do agree that the corner pins are a very snug fit but I look on that as a good thing but for anyone with arthritic hands it may be a bit of a problem. When the package arrives the pins are in place and hard to pull out, I just tapped the bottom of the pins very gently with a hammer to lift them slightly and then used a jar gripper to pull them out. I put the bed together outside but on the path, propped one side against the house wall and supported the other three sides with something - bucket of water, couple of bricks etc. so that it kept it together then put the pins part way down. Again, I took a tip from another reviewer and greased them well first. Once I was satisfied it was square, I pushed the pins right down. Once in situ, I made sure it was level and filled it with riddled garden soil and garden compost (because I want straight carrots and parsnips and our soil is stony) and added some multipurpose compost to the top layer. It does take a lot of filling, much more than I thought when I first put it out. I haven't filled it to the top yet so that there is space for watering but it will end up a bit fuller than the photo shows. All in all, I am very pleased with it. I had planned to have a wooden one as I know that plastic is not popular these days but wooden would have been heavier and looked after carefully, I am hoping this bed will last for years. Would definitely recommend without reservation.

I bought one of these for my garden and have to say how impressed I am with it. Very strong & robust and also actually looks really smart. Very easy to assemble. Quick delivery. I’m going to buy a couple more !! Would definitely recommend!

Very quick and easy to assemble. They feel robust and looks like they will long outlast their wood alternatives. Seem a little expensive for some glorified plastic sheets, but I've about 10 of them now, and will probably buy more to double stack some to make deeper raised beds.

Unlike wood, these won't rot. They simply need hosed down when growing is over. Join them to create various sizes of growing area. Easily stacked for winter storage.

I almost did not buy this product because of all the complaints folks were having about putting it together. People complained about the rods that hold the corners together basically took a jack hammer to get them to release and a pneumatic hammer to put them in...LOL..I really don't understand how anybody and I mean anybody could have had problems putting these together. I am 62 years old and spent most of the day digging and planting pots and setting up an irrigation system before I was ready to put my four sets I bought together. It is just common sense, that is all that is needed. I spent maybe 2 minutes putting together each set that I bought so my beds would be twice as deep. I pulled every rod out from the corners with my fingers and put them in the same way. Gave each corner a quick tap with my palm and bobs your uncle... they snapped right in place and I have arthritis in my hands no less. I am very glad I did not listen to nonsense and bought these. You will too. I replaced a metal system with these as I got tired of getting cut while working the beds. You will be glad you bought them too if you want some nice beds. The plastic is hard and decent quality as plastic goes. I bought enough for two beds stacking one on top of the other so I could have a deeper bed system. Worked perfectly. I thought I was going to have to drill holes and screw them to each other but I did not. Once they were full of material they were solid and held their square shape. So I am very pleased and would recommend them to anyone. I may buy more for my green house.

I like the simplicity of this raised bed. It was easy to put together. Its sturdy and does the job I got it for, which is to grow purple sprouting and cauliflowers. Best of all is the price, what value for money. I will definitely be getting another in the spring. I highly recommend this product.

The pins are stored in the connecting slot and they are very difficult to remove. This made construction of it longer than it needed to be and very frustrating. Once up they are sturdy enough and will do the job.

They seem sturdy enough and were no problem to set up - originally 3 pegs were missing from one, HOWEVER the seller was happy to send spare ones out even though I'd contracted them about it way past the deadline to do so, so I'm happy all round!
