FAQs
What are the dimensions of the TECTAKE Blomma raised bed?
Please refer to the product packaging or the manufacturer's website for precise dimensions, as they can vary by specific model.
How deep is the planting area?
The depth is determined by the height of the side panels. The open base allows roots to extend further into the ground if placed directly on soil.
Can this raised bed be used indoors?
While it can be used indoors, it is designed for outdoor use. Ensure adequate drainage and consider placing a tray underneath to protect indoor surfaces from moisture.
What type of soil should I use?
A mixture of good quality topsoil and compost is recommended for optimal plant growth. You can also add other organic amendments based on your plant's needs.
Does the galvanized steel contain lead?
Modern galvanized steel used in garden products is typically lead-free and safe for growing edible plants.
How long will the galvanized steel last?
With proper care, galvanized steel is highly resistant to corrosion and can last for many years, often exceeding 10-20 years in typical garden conditions.
Are the corners sharp?
No, the design features smooth, rounded corners to minimize the risk of injury.
Troubleshooting
Wobbling or instability after assembly
Ensure all screws and fasteners are fully tightened. Verify that the bed is placed on a level surface.
Water pooling in the bottom of the bed
Confirm the open base is not obstructed by a solid liner or compacted soil. Loosen the soil and ensure good drainage.
Discoloration or spots on the steel
This may be white rust, a cosmetic surface reaction on galvanized steel. It does not typically affect structural integrity. Clean with a soft brush and water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Assembly of the TECTAKE Blomma raised bed is designed to be simple. Typically, this involves connecting the pre-cut panels using provided hardware. Ensure all connections are secure before filling with soil. The included gardening gloves should be worn during assembly and planting.
Compatibility:
This raised bed is compatible with most standard potting soils, composts, and organic amendments. It is suitable for placement on any level outdoor surface, including grass, soil, patios, or balconies. Ensure the chosen location receives adequate sunlight for the intended plants.
Care:
To maintain the Blomma raised bed, periodically wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt or debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, which could damage the galvanized finish. Inspect fasteners occasionally and tighten if necessary. The galvanized steel is designed for rust resistance, but prolonged exposure to highly acidic soil conditions or constant moisture without airflow could eventually affect the material.
