FAQs

What materials is the raised garden bed made from?

The raised garden bed is crafted from galvanised steel with a powder-coated finish and reinforced with interior support brackets.

What are the full dimensions of the garden bed?

The dimensions are 396 cm in length, 100 cm in width, and 68 cm in height (L x W x H).

Is assembly required, and how difficult is it?

Yes, assembly is required. It is recommended to have two people for assembly due to its size and weight. Follow the provided instructions carefully.

Can this garden bed be used on a balcony?

Yes, it can be used on balconies, patios, or gardens, provided the surface is firm and level to support its weight and dimensions.

How should I care for the garden bed?

Clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. The powder-coated finish offers rust and corrosion protection for outdoor use.

What types of plants are best suited for this bed?

The extra-long and deep structure is suitable for a wide variety of plants, including vegetables, flowers, and root crops.

Is the steel frame prone to rust?

The galvanised steel with a powder-coated finish is designed to be resistant to rust and corrosion for outdoor use. Minor touch-ups may be needed if abrasions occur.

Troubleshooting

Uneven surface after assembly

Ensure the ground where the bed is placed is completely level before and during assembly. If the ground has settled, you may need to adjust the base or re-level the ground.

Warping or sagging of the sides

Verify that the interior support brackets are correctly installed and securely fastened as per the assembly instructions. Ensure the bed is not overfilled beyond its capacity.

Rust spots appearing on the surface

While powder-coated, minor abrasions can expose the metal. Clean the area and consider applying a rust-inhibiting paint suitable for galvanized steel. Regular cleaning with a damp cloth helps prevent surface rust.

Difficulty during assembly

Refer back to the assembly manual and ensure all parts are correctly identified. Having a second person assist can make aligning and fastening parts easier. Check that all pre-drilled holes are clear.
