Raised Garden Bed Kits, 17" Tall 6 in 1 Modular Metal Raised Planter Bed for Vegetables Flowers Patio Ground Planter Box-Olive Green

Wonderful and beautiful planter

I love the 17" height. I thought 17 inches wouldn't be enough to make a difference, but it is! If you need to sit on a stool or even an old kitchen chair, it's the perfect height for gardening! We notice that we have very few weeds with a raised bed! That's a bonus. Just for added info: It takes 12-13 1.5 cu ft bags of potting soil to fill one raised . We found out that the home and garden big box stores will deliver that to you for a fee. In our case, the fee was $35.00 and that was well worth it to deliver and carry to our back yard! The Vego is a very well made raised bed. It is attractive in the yard, and easy to put together. It would be good to have a 2nd person to hold the panels together while you attach and tighten the bolts. We put unfolded cardboard boxes in the bottom of the bed to help keep the grass from growing up through the bed, and to make a fairly solid bottom for the fresh new soil. I would suggest using 2 or 3 thicknesses of the cardboard, even 4 would be great. Over time, the cardboard will disintegrate and be just fine!

Can't say enough good about these garden beds. High quality, great looking, well packaged and a fair price.

Once Amazon delivered the correct product (a random item showed up the first time) I was so excited to put it together. I did it myself, not a super handy or strong person. It takes a while, but it’s not difficult or confusing work . It’s just a lot of nuts and bolts so that can be a little tedious, but the actual putting together is very easy and the components are lighter weight than I anticipated. I put it together about 3/4 of the way on a rug inside and then brought it outside to do corners and black protective top in place. Tips- make sure you’re placing on a level area. Just take the time to level the area for the bed itself. Your entire garden doesn’t have to be level necessarily , but each bed placement should be level.Make sure to get film off the front and back of each piece. Look online for ideas to do hugelculture/ layering techniques for the fill, you absolutely don’t have to do nor should you do expensive raised bed soil for the entire thing. It’s been outside for a few days, tomatoes happily tucked in. Interested to see what a few seasons will look like with it.

We have bought 6 Vego Raised Garden Beds and 2 other raised garden beds from different manufacturers. The quality of the Vego brand is far superior and worth the extra money paid. The 2 other non-Vego garden beds bow and have gaps between the panels. Vego is a good choice if looking for a quality raised garden beds.
