Land Guard 8×4×2 ft Galvanized Raised Garden Bed Kit, Galvanized Planter Raised Garden Boxes Outdoor, Large Metal Raised Garden Beds for Vegetables.

Pretty amazing value and well engineered. I was surprised at how small of a box they could fit it in and didn't even think that the relatively small box could contain a planter and that the wrong item was shipped. It took about 2 hours to assemble, but was very simple as there is only one type of screw. Sometimes I feel like assembly is off-shored back to us. The corner of all the panels was damaged in shipping, but I was able bend it back with a pliers. Not worth complaining about or sending backI have designed and built many raised bed planters from scratch and this one cost less than my materials cost and assembly was a fraction of the time it takes to build one from scratch.

Ordered two of the green 8 x 4 x2 foot beds. They arrived faster than projected, but because the pieces for the full bed were all in one relatively thin box, I could tell it was heavy for the delivery driver the way they were dropped on the front step. Both beds had bent corners on the panels which needed to be straightened or bent the other direction. We did wonder if the packages would include the center bracing rods because on the Land Guard website it looked like they needed to be ordered separately, but they were included in the box. With the way the pieces were packaged, it allowed for the corner panels and rods to rub against the side panels and scratched paint off.The instructions for assembly are quite bad consisting of three poor quality diagrams. It works much better having two people when putting the beds together and to make sure you are on a flat surface. A recommendation is to start with the bottom screw when putting the panels together and then do a top screw, because the panels need to be pushed down to match up the holes for the corner panels and the side brackets. The center bracing rods need a threaded connector in the center and a on each end. Which we found works best to get in place before tightening the screws to allow for some movement. The bed did feel sturdier after getting everything tightened up. The top and bottom of the panels are rolled so they aren’t sharp, but the ends are, gloves can help when handling the panels, but make it difficult for getting the nuts onto the screws. Once filled I expect to get many years out of these beds.

It got here a day earlier than expected - which was a good thing. Now, don't let assembly fears concern you. Once you understand the process, it's easy enough to assemble - just a lot.... There are plenty of nuts and bolts - about 80 or so. Use a screwdriver and wrench or pliers - and you'll be just fine. There was a dented corner - which affected all four panels - but it's easy enough to straighten out and once assembled, you can't tell. We assembled in the shade and 2 of us carried it about 10 feet to it's final location. Now the fun of filling it up. We would buy another from this company.

We purchased this kit as a raised bed garden addition. We got two of them at the same time. Putting them together is a bit of fiddling as there is a lot of hardware to deal with. The part quality is OK for purpose. The design engineering however is not real good. The center rods are a bit short to allow the sides to remain straight. This would be easy to correct at the parts development point but not easy to fix at the building point. As shipped it works as a garden dirt raised bed but could be much better if properly engineered from the outset. The shipping corner damage is on the shipper and not the product. Crunch a corner and you crunch the metal siding corners. Easy enough to straighten out but still a bit of a hassle.

Our 4 were delivered in a very timely manner!They are easy to put together, a little time consuming, but the best things are worth taking your time. They look amazing in our garden, and will definitely save our backs during gardening season!The only critique is in shipping packaging. They might consider protecting the corners a little better. Most of ours had some bend to the corners. Nothing a pair of pliers couldn't fix. Just a thought.Overall, well worth the money and time! Will probably add 2-4 more!

We had some wooden raised bed gardens that decided to replace out with these. Bought 2 the picture is of the first one we put up. So I love them. I love the look. They aren't very stable UNTIL you get them filled with dirt then they are very stable. Kind of a pain to put together because the directions that come with it SUCKS. So glad my husband figured it out and got it together.

I ordered 3 of these raised beds. The first two came quickly. The third one had to be replaced since it never arrived so that was about a 2.5 week process over all. But was pleased to have it finally arrive.Boxes were in good shape when shipped, but like most other views the corners were bent a bit. This is pretty much just do to how thin the material is. Not on the packaging or shipping. You can easily bend it back; no problems. So still 5 stars.Took about 1 hour to build each one with just one builder.Instructions were useless. But easy to figure out!Everything was included. Even had extra screws.Filled them with old logs and wood chips before putting down dirt (not pictured).Do your research and all will go well.Happy gardening!

I've had 2 for a while and just ordered 2 more. I like them, they raise the bed up enough to save my back. They are sturdy with a good center support so they don't bow outward, and they will last for years. The only reason for the 4 stars is that the corners and center guards are sharp. The metal at the top isn't rolled, so you have to be careful not to cut yourself. I cut up pool noodles to put over the corners.
