2 Pack 6x3x1FT Galvanized Raised Garden Beds Kit Outdoor Metal Gardening Planter Box for Vegetable Elevated Flower Herbs,Silver

Best metal raised beds I’ve ever used
My yard, both back and front, is full of raised garden beds. In the beginning, I bought only the well known brand names. Over time I began shopping the sales, so by now I’ve ended up with a wide variety of beds, in different shapes and sizes, from different manufacturers. After all that, this is my favorite and the one I now come back to whenever I add a bed or recommend to someone.Packaging and assembly: They come reasonably packaged. There’s almost always a bent corner from shipping but a twist with a set of pliers is an easy fix. Instructions are simple and easy to follow. No tools are required, it’s just passing a bolt through holes and securing with a nut. If you do a lot of these or your dexterity isn’t so great, I’d recommend investing in some wingnuts to make the job quicker and easier. One person can assemble these but two goes faster and makes things easier to handle as the parts come together and the thing gets bigger and more awkward. I’ve done so many that I can knock one together pretty quickly on my own.The panels:Sturdy, more angular than the typical wave pattern. I feel this gives the panels more strength. They don’t twist as easily. They come out of the box quite shiny and so far they have stayed shinier than others. The top and bottom have rolled edges but the connecting edges are unfinished. While not *razor* sharp, they’re metal, so they need to be respected for safety.The corners:Almost every square or rectangular bed seems to have a corner connecting piece. This makes assembly pretty easy and gives the corner stability. It also eliminates a harsh 90 degree corner. There are two features in these corners I don’t always find in other beds. First, plastic caps to not only help finish off the connection, but for protection against the edges. The panels have rolled in edges but the corner pieces do not. The second feature is slots for anchor pegs. The pegs themselves aren’t that long or substantial, but they help the bed stay in place during setup adjustments. I use 12” garden staples instead of the provided pins, but I couldn’t use anything without the slots in place.The cross supports:Over a certain width, metal raised beds need a support bar, rod, or some type brace to keep it from falling in on itself until it’s full of soil. Some of the larger beds I’ve tried use flat strips, or worse, rods assembled from multiple short rods. Those are just awful. This brand has sturdy, one piece round rods with bent ends to attach flat and snug against the wall panels. They also include multiple rods, not just one.All the features mentioned mean that once assembled, I can move the beds into their final spot without help, and the bed stays rigid enough to do so. And I’m a 60-something grandma with bad knees.Like I said, of all the brands I’ve used, these are my favorite raised beds by far. They’re easy to assemble, sturdy, durable, they look great, and I feel they’re well worth the price. As soon as I can carve out more space in my yard, I’ll be back for more.

Decent product quality, issues with packaging
Arrived with some bent corners so I would say they need to be more careful with packaging. I had to use pliers to bend them back. Other than that, the design is good with simple construction and no tools needed. Can be done by just one person. I like the size and the metal looks good in my garden.

What a Great Bargain !!Shipped Fast.Easy to assemble.Planting next springs BulbsAbout a 1/4 of the cost as a home store and good quality.

Affordable and easy to use
These were super easy to put together and are sturdy enough for my needs as a backyard gardener. The size allows accessibility from any side and the depth accommodates all of the flower and vegetable plants to flourish. Once assembled, I was able to move them around by myself and I was able to match the color to similar beds I had in the space from last year. I have decided that I prefer the rectangles to the ovals due to the increased growing space, ease of trellising, and symmetry.
