Utopia Home Galvanized Raised Garden Bed Kit 4x2x1ft, Planter Box Raised Garden Beds Outdoor, Easy Assembly Metal Raised Bed for Gardening Vegetables, Fruits, Flowers - Pack of 01 - Silver

My garden has taken on a few different variations. Over the years. I have built my own raised beds, I have done it in ground and now I am doing it to frame a porch. I was trying to do things differently to tackle different issues that I have. Be it bugs or the fact that my dogs like to eat everything in my garden now.QualityOn its own it is very flimsy. It has one crossbar that allows the center of each side some support. It gets much better once the dirt is inside and helps keep tension across the entire planter. It's a very good size planter so you're going to need some dirt to you fill it. It does have a beautiful look with a good finish. One aspect of this build that I do not like is that they use Wing nuts for the interior securing of bolts. They are both sharp and they stick out a bit. You can easily cut your hand on that. It would be nice if they had a better way of securing the sections of the planter. I do like that. They also provided gloves for construction. That is a nice bonus.SetupSetup was very easy. I highly suggest making sure that each panel is installed in such a way that the tension from filling helps hold it together versus pushing it outward. It doesn't say that in the instruction manual, but I think that's the most logical way to put it together.OverallIt seems like a very good product, and I'm interested to see how long it can last for. I have seen that a couple of my friends also purchased this after the fact so we'll have a chance to compare notes and ideas over time. Check out the pictures.

These raised beds were super easy to build. In fact I built them all by myself. Absolutely love that one person could build them. They look very nice and I am very pleased with how they turned out. They have a good depth and are pretty sturdy. They are great for smaller areas in the garden or yard that you cannot fit a full sized raised bed.

These were easy to put together. Keep the metal ridge on the top as you fit the pieces together. They are sturdy and I like that there is a brace across the center and black heavy duty plastic to go around the edge. Each one used ten #40 bags of soil. Seems like a lot, but it fills them a couple of inches from the top. They are a quality product and look nice in my yard.

These planters are decent enough quality. They have a support strip which other planters I bought do not. But I did not like the butterfly nuts. They took longer to put together and hard on the hands to tighten. The planters with the nuts and bolts are super easy and fast with a power drill. All in all though for the price they seem to be good.

I couldn’t be happier with this raised bed garden! It was super simple to put together took hardly any time and required no special tools. Once assembled, it looked amazing in my garden clean, sturdy, and exactly what I was hoping for. It’s the perfect size for growing herbs and veggies, and it instantly upgraded the look of my outdoor space. If you’re thinking about starting a little garden or expanding your current one, this raised bed is a great choice. I love it!

Makes my wife happy. They’re kind of a bear to put together with all the wingnuts and bolts, but once they’re together and filled with soil, they are nice and sturdy and seem to hold up well.

Work great in garden. Very durable and easy to set up. We did modify so I could add screen at bottom so no varmints came up from the bottom.
