Land Guard Galvanized Raised Garden Bed Kit, Galvanized Planter Garden Boxes Outdoor, Oval Large Metal Raised Garden Beds for Vegetables…………

Great product and easy to assemble. Very strong and durable. Great buy!!

The raised bed is easily assembled, no tools are needed and the metal is heavy duty. Unfortunately, a piece was missing when I received it but Amazon taking care of the exchange.

I was surprised at the light weight of the units. Both 8'x4' came in a single box weighing 33#. The light weight aluminum panels made them easy to handle and assemble. Assembly was straightforward. The panels are 2' long and have 4 holes pre-drilled in each end. These holes were accurate and smooth as were the edges of the panels. While I wore light gloves, there was little opportunity for cuts or splinters. The kits came with packets of hardware, nuts, bolts and connectors for the center support rods. Happily the nuts and 1/2" bolts were all galvanized which should improve their longevity. The one complaint I have is they did a poor job filling the hardware packets. There were twice too many connectors, far too many bolts and not quite enough nuts. This wasn't a big deal, they just wasted some of their own money. The nuts and bolts seemed of good quality. Only 1 bolt out of 100 or more was defective, all the nuts screwed on easily and the galvanized coating was very even. I bought 2 sets (4 raised beds) with the notion of stacking them to make 2' tall, raised beds as my 77-year-old back complains loudly when bending over for a time. This worked quite well. I ended up buying 10 more 3/4" bolts as the 1/2" bolts that were supplied were too short to get started on some of the curved panels which were 4 layers thick where I spliced them together. The longer bolts saved my day! If you decide to do as I did and stack them, don't build the two units and then try to join them together as I did on my first set. It was exceedingly difficult. When I built the second set, I built the lower half, then attached the 2 straight side panels on each side, complete with their support rods. Then I began adding the curved end pieces one at a time. Because the diameter of the curve was increased slightly, some of the holes didn't match where the two sections joined and I had to re-drill them but that was only needed on 2 or 3 holes. It took me about 2.5 hours to completely assemble the second 4'x8'x 2' raised bed. Tools needed are simple. An 11mm open end wrench, A Phillips screwdriver and an electric screwdriver (very helpful as there are many bolts) and a 1/4" drill bit if you stack them as I did. BTW, the photo shows a completed unit sitting on a 24'x 4'x 2' raised bed I built out of treated lumber. It cost over $1000 3 years ago compared to $270 for these beds. PS, It remains to be seen how well they hold up when filled with dirt.

Exactly what I was wanting! Easy to put together worked great very sturdy made well!

Perfect size for a small garden. Easy assembly, very sturdy and has held up well. This is the second one I've purchased, great product!

Very lightweight yet sturdy and durable. Easy to assemble.

This comes as a 10 piece easy to assemble planter. The edges are very sharp. Be prepared to use 40 screws and fasteners to assemble this planter. Once finished, it looks great and serves the purpose. I ended up ordering another one to balance out my garden.

ORIGINAL 1-Star: I ordered this garden planter set because it appeared to be a good value and it would fit my needs. I have a large project in my landscape and this will work well for it. My first disappointment came when the promised delivery date slipped and set me behind by one day. The second disappointment came when I opened the box and checked the build instructions and parts list to verify that everything was undamaged and all the parts were present. The instructions consist of a single sheet of paper with the parts list (for one planter) and a build diagram with individual components labeled to match the parts list. The build appears to be very easy. If you have a Phillips-style screwdriver and a crescent wrench you can assemble this planter. Of course you need to have all the parts. That is the second disappointment. My kit is missing all 8 of the connecting rods that are supposed to span the middle of the planter and help it hold its shape after soil is added. I would already be finished assembling these two planters if those parts had made it into the box. Instead I am wasting time here leaving a poor rating. The product looks to be durable. The galvanized parts are well-made and should present no difficulties in using them nor should they fail in the foreseeable future. The box that it was shipped in arrived with minimal damage to one corner and none of the panels are bent. The bolts and nuts and other connectors are contained in separate packages, one for each planter. Unfortunately there are no connecting rods in the box and they need to be M6-1.0 thread to be able to connect to the other hardware. Metric threaded rod is not available locally or I would make my own and call it even. I have contacted the seller and will update this review once I find a resolution. UPDATED to 2 Star: The seller contacted me within 1.5 hours to resolve this problem. That's a very good sign in my book so I have bumped the rating to 2 stars. We are working on resolving the problem and I will adjust this later depending on how it goes. The product appears to be suitable for its designed purpose. UPDATE #2 to 1 Star: After trying for 2 days to work with the seller to get missing parts replaced (they offered to send another new set of two 8x4x1 beds) I am returning these and buying a similar product from a different seller for $6 more money. They did offer to send a new set but never acknowledged having my shipping information even though I replied twice with the order number and the requested information. They have apparently ghosted me since they have not replied to any dialog in more than one day. While I had the panels here I compared them to a product from a different seller that I bought for my wife to see whether I could find any difference in panel thickness as others have reported. I found the panels from Vegega to be 0.74+mm and the panels in this Land Guard set from Cyantor-US to be 0.42mm using dial calipers. That measurement was taken on the single-thickness corrugated edge of each panel for consistency. The measurement reported in the photo is 0.78mm but as you can see it is taken at the top edge of a panel where the edge has been folded over to double thickness giving a misleading thickness comparison. I am returning these for two reasons - 1) missing parts and 2) unresponsive customer service from the seller. If one wanted to keep the set and deal with the issue locally you could buy materials from a local retailer to serve the purpose of the stabilizing rods. Some all-thread and appropriate nuts and washers would make this usable for me. That would involve mixing SAE and metric nuts/threads though since there are no retailers who carry metric threaded rods as normal inventory. You would need to order the metric rods. If you did that you could replace all the threaded parts with SAE parts for consistency but this will cost you more than you would spend sending this back and ordering a similar product from a different seller. I chose to replace this with the product from Plant and Plot Store where they offer the same 8x4x1 two piece set. We'll see how that goes. Update #3: I received a replacement set with all parts included and went ahead and built the two planters. They are easy to build and once all the nuts are tightened it is a stable unit that can be carried easily by one person and placed wherever you need it. Plan to have about 2 yards of soil and materials to fill the two containers. Each one will take about 29 cubic feet of stuff which is slightly more than one yard, (27 cu. ft.) Note that unlike some of the garden planters available on Amazon this set does not include any rubber or plastic edging for the top edge of the completed planter. Since the edges of the panels do not line up well there will be sharp corners sticking up. I bought some automotive door edging from a local auto parts store to cover each edge. It takes 20' of edging to go all the way around. That's an additional cost of >$20 for that. I took the opportunity to check the actual gauge of the sheets and looked up the information about thickness of the galvanized panels. From measurements taken, this set uses 30 gauge galvanized sheets (0.0157" ; 0.398 mm). That is very thin and you can easily flex the panels and bend them with your bare hands. Remember with sheet metal gauges that a larger number is a thinner panel so that 25 gauge sheet is thicker than 30 gauge sheet. We have a planter from Vegega for comparison that checks out to be 25 gauge galvanized sheet. It is much more rigid and difficult to bend. It is also more expensive, by a lot since you are paying for thicker steel and weight is one of the main pricing factors in buying metal parts. I needed to have ~30 sq ft of planting space so I bought the two planter set here. To get the same available space from Vegega would've cost more than 3x the price. Though the Vegega and Vego planters are higher quality I did not need the highest quality for my application. A note about the nuts included with this set - use an open-ended wrench of 11mm or 7/16" to tighten the nuts or use a crescent wrench. This set assembles quickly with a wrench and a Philips screwdriver but neither are included. This set works for me. It is not the highest quality but it is functional. There are planters which use the same panels, screws, nuts, etc for sale under different brand names. You can see this if you watch the videos in the reviews. At least one of them offers a rubber edge guard so compare prices and components before buying to get the best value. Ignore all the photos of panel thickness since none of them are using calipers correctly. They will all mislead you.

Llegó incompleto, no se puede usar, faltan piezas,

Schroeven zijn van mindere kwaliteit die het in elkaar zetten niet makkelijk maken 🥲😅
