FAQs
What material is the raised garden bed made of?
The raised garden bed is constructed from galvanised steel, which provides durability and resistance to rust.
Does the planter have a bottom?
No, the planter has an open bottom design that allows direct contact with the soil beneath.
What are the benefits of the two-tier design?
The two-tier design offers flexibility to plant different types of plants in separate levels, allowing for diverse cultivation and improved garden aesthetics.
How does the open bottom help my plants?
The open bottom allows for optimal root growth directly into the ground soil and prevents waterlogging by facilitating natural drainage.
Is assembly difficult?
Assembly is required, but it is designed to be straightforward. Please refer to the included instruction manual for detailed steps.
Can this be used on a patio?
Yes, it can be used on a patio, provided the surface can support the weight of the bed filled with soil and plants. Ensure adequate drainage away from the patio surface.
How do I maintain the galvanised steel?
Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Periodically check the tightness of the assembly.
Troubleshooting
Uneven surface after assembly
Ensure the ground where the bed is placed is level. Adjust the ground or the bed's position if necessary.
Water pooling in the upper tier
Verify that the drainage holes in the upper tier are not blocked. Ensure the overall bed is not tilted in a way that impedes drainage.
Galvanised steel showing signs of wear
For minor scuffs, a clear sealant can be applied. For significant rust, consult product documentation for repair or replacement options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Assembly is required. Follow the included instructions carefully to connect all panels securely. Ensure the chosen location is relatively level to prevent instability.
