10x2x1ft(2 Pack) Galvanized Raised Garden Bed,Outdoor Planter Box Metal Patio Kit Planting Bed for Vegetables Flowers and Succulents,Silver

I originally bought two of the 12 foot beds and loved them so much, I ended up buying several more the next year. I intend to keep buying a few more each season and slowly expand my garden. I LOVE the extra tall 18" height. I fill the bottom with sticks and top it with soil and compost, sort of like a hugelkultur. Everything grows fantastically. Bottom filling with sticks keeps the cost down, helps retain moisture, and keeps rodents and rabbits out. The extra tall height makes it easy to garden and also helps keep critters out. Even my free ranging poultry tend to leave my garden alone. Once filled, the bed is very sturdy. I recommend once you have it built to go back and tighten the bolts down further with channellocks or pliers, just a little bit of extra effort really goes a long way. Super nice looking and very sturdy. Very easy to build. I'm a complete idiot but I found it very easy and relaxing to put these together. The kit came with gloves but I didn't feel like I needed them, there really aren't any crazy sharp edges so not sure what the other reviewers are talking about. The top rim is folded over so there is no sharp metal exposed. It comes with all the nuts and bolts needed and a little allen wrench. The only extra tool I'd recommend would be either a regular wrench or channellocks to help tighten up the bolts, but most people have something like that around the house anyway. Love the steel finish and I'm sure these will last for years to come. Very pleased and can not recommend them enough. The two 12 foot beds in the main part of this photo were installed last year, as was the shorter 8 foot bed in the third photo. The other two to the left were my most recent purchase. I also ended up buying some of the smaller beds for elsewhere, which I've assembled but have not set and filled yet. I bought extra this year to get an early start for next year (I was distraught when I could not buy these during the winter, they are apparently a seasonal item which makes sense, but I wanted to get them built over the winter and start composting in them before planting season started.) You really can't beat the price for what you get. Purchase with confidence and happy gardening!

Easy to put together but they are flimsy. When the light reflects off them it hurts your eyes a bit

Easy to assemble; metal is thin and bends easily. Good height. OK for the price.

I've lost count of how many of these we purchased. Suffice it to say, it's a lot! We currently have about 8 of them, and if we need any more, we'll definitely purchase again. The quality is great, the ease of assembly is spot-on, and they work! You definitely get your money's worth. They look fantastic. I may want to point out that when they are new, and you've placed them in a sunny spot - as they should be - there are times of the day when they reflect the sun rays right into your eyes. Once they've been weathered for a year or two, that extreme "shininess" tones down a bit, and is easier on the eyes on a sunny day. (I wish I'd thought to take a photo of the ones we use, but I can circle around in the spring and maybe upload a photo or two.)

Arrived quicker than expected. Metal panels were a little thinner than the metal hexagon raised bed I bought, though not at all flimsy and very sturdy once assembled. Although there was no damage to the package about half of the panels corners were slightly bent enough to affect assembly but easily pounded back into shape, this was the only reason I didn't give 5 stars. Assembly was easy, put it together myself in 20 minutes. There are some sharp edges so be careful, they do include protective gloves but they were pretty small. Gloves aren't really necessary if you're careful. This does take quite a bit of soil to fill, I suggest doing like I did and start with a layer of small branches and sticks, then a layer of wood chips soaked in compost tea, topped off with a good soil mix. Leave a couple inches of space if you want to add mulch.
