FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of the raised bed itself?

The raised bed dimensions are 120 cm in length, 40 cm in width, and 44 cm in height (L x W x H).

What material is the greenhouse cover made of?

The greenhouse cover is made of water-resistant PE (Polyethylene).

Can I leave the cover on year-round?

While the cover offers protection, it is recommended to remove it during extreme weather conditions (heavy snow, strong winds) and store it indoors during harsh winter months to prolong its lifespan.

How do I adjust ventilation?

The greenhouse cover features zippers that allow you to open and close sections, providing adjustable ventilation to control temperature and humidity inside.

What is the total height of the unit with the cover?

The overall dimensions of the unit with the greenhouse cover are 120 cm in length, 40 cm in width, and 140 cm in height (L x W x H).

Is the raised bed deep enough for root vegetables?

With a depth of 44 cm, the raised bed is suitable for growing many root vegetables like carrots and radishes, though exceptionally long varieties may require deeper beds.

Does it come with soil?

No, the product includes the raised bed frame and greenhouse cover. Soil and plants are not included and need to be purchased separately.

Troubleshooting

Greenhouse cover does not fit tightly.

Ensure the iron frame is fully assembled and square. Adjust the cover by re-draping it and securing the zippers and ropes firmly. Check if any ropes need to be tightened further.

Product seems unstable.

Verify that all iron tube connections are secure and that the raised bed sections are properly seated on the frame. Place the assembled unit on a flat, level surface. Use the included ropes to tie down the cover to secure the structure further if needed.

Water pooling on the cover.

Slight tilting of the frame can cause water to pool. Ensure the unit is on level ground. Gentle shaking of the cover can help dislodge pooled water. Ensure zippers are fully closed to maintain protection.

Difficulty assembling the frame.

Refer closely to the assembly diagram. Ensure you are using the correct tube lengths in the intended positions. If connections are stiff, check for any obstructions or manufacturing defects.

Pros and Cons

  • Extends the growing season by protecting plants.
  • Offers good protection against pests and harsh weather.
  • Durable materials ensure long-term use.

  • Aesthetically pleasing rattan look fits well in outdoor spaces.

Cons

  • Requires assembly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Assembly is required. Unpack all components and identify the iron tubes, polypropylene raised bed sections, and the polyethylene greenhouse cover. Connect the iron tubes to form the frame according to the included instructions. Place the polypropylene bed sections onto the frame. Finally, drape the greenhouse cover over the frame and secure it using the provided zippers and ropes. Ensure the frame is stable on level ground before proceeding.

Compatibility: This raised bed is designed for outdoor use in gardens, courtyards, and on balconies. It is compatible with most standard potting soils and composts. The 120x40x44 cm bed dimensions are suitable for a wide range of plants, from vegetables and herbs to flowers. The greenhouse cover's dimensions are 120x40x110 cm, and the overall height with the bed is 140 cm.

Care: To maintain the product's longevity:

  1. Frame: Wipe the iron tubes with a dry cloth regularly. If rust appears, clean the affected area and apply a rust-inhibiting sealant.
  2. Raised Bed: Clean the polypropylene bed with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface.
  3. Greenhouse Cover: Clean the PE cover with a damp cloth. Ensure it is fully dry before storing to prevent mold or mildew. Store the cover indoors during harsh winter months or prolonged periods of non-use to prolong its life.
