FAQs

Does this raised bed have a bottom panel?

No, this design is an open-bottom frame intended to sit directly on the ground or a base layer.

Can this be placed directly on a wooden deck?

Yes, but it is recommended to place a waterproof membrane or heavy-duty plastic liner underneath to protect your decking from moisture and soil staining.

How much soil is needed to fill this bed?

Due to its large dimensions (approx 1.8 cubic meters volume), you will need a substantial amount of garden soil. We recommend calculating the volume based on the 373 x 140 x 36 cm dimensions minus any filler material used at the base.

Is the material safe for growing edible vegetables?

Yes, the galvanised steel with a powder-coated finish is generally considered safe for vegetable gardening.

Does the assembly require special tools?

Standard DIY hand tools such as a screwdriver or a small socket set are sufficient for assembly.

Troubleshooting

The sides of the planter are bowing outwards.

Ensure all internal support brackets are securely attached and that the bed is placed on a level surface.

Visible rust appearing on the surface.

Clean the area with a wire brush and apply a suitable anti-rust outdoor metal paint to seal the exposed steel.

Soil is draining too slowly.

Ensure the raised bed is not placed on non-porous concrete without drainage channels; consider adding a layer of gravel or larger stones at the bottom.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable rust-resistant galvanised steel construction
  • Generous 373 cm length provides massive planting capacity
  • Sturdy internal bracing prevents wall deformation
  • Weather-resistant powder coating for seasonal longevity

Cons

  • Requires significant time and effort to assemble
  • Large footprint may not fit smaller urban balconies
  • Heavy weight once filled with soil makes it non-portable

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Assembly should be performed on a flat, level surface. Ensure all included support brackets are tightened according to the manual to maintain the oval shape of the bed. While the steel is rust-resistant, it is recommended to inspect the surface annually for any scratches that may have penetrated the powder coating, as these should be touched up with outdoor metal paint to prevent localized corrosion. The bed can be placed directly on grass, but laying down a layer of weed-suppressant fabric underneath is recommended to prevent unwanted growth inside the planter.
