Full details
This raised garden bed is designed for gardeners seeking a durable, spacious, and stylish solution for growing plants on patios, decks, or balconies. Its key benefit is providing ample room for soil and roots while offering excellent stability and corrosion resistance thanks to its galvanised steel construction.

FAQs
What material is the garden bed made of?
The garden bed is made of durable galvanised steel.
What are the full dimensions of the raised garden bed?
The dimensions are 100 cm in length, 100 cm in width, and 77 cm in height (L x W x H).
Does the garden bed have a bottom?
No, this garden bed features an open bottom design for optimal drainage and root health.
Is assembly difficult?
The garden planter is designed for easy assembly. Following the provided instructions carefully will ensure a straightforward setup.
Can I place this garden bed on a wooden deck?
Yes, you can place it on a wooden deck. Ensure the deck is sturdy enough to support the weight of the soil and plants. The open bottom will allow water to drain away.
What is the benefit of the safety edge fold design?
The safety edge fold design ensures that the rim of the planter does not have dangerous sharp edges, making it safer to handle during assembly and use.
How much soil can this bed hold?
It is deep and wide enough to hold a considerable amount of soil, providing ample space for plant roots.
Troubleshooting
Garden bed is unstable
Ensure all assembly screws are tightened securely. Verify that the garden bed is placed on a level surface and that interior support brackets are correctly installed.
Soil is washing out of the bottom
This is expected with an open-bottom design. Ensure the bed is placed directly on soil, grass, or a permeable surface. If placing on a hard surface, consider lining the bottom with landscape fabric before adding soil to prevent loss while still allowing drainage.
Discolouration or minor rust spots appear
Galvanised steel is highly resistant to rust but not entirely immune. Clean the affected area with a soft cloth. Minor spots can often be buffed out. For persistent rust, consider applying a rust-inhibiting sealant designed for metal garden products.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The garden planter is designed for easy assembly. Ensure you have a clear, level area where you intend to place the bed. Follow the included instructions to connect the panels and secure them with the provided hardware. Interior support brackets should be installed as per the guide for maximum stability.
Compatibility: This raised garden bed is compatible with a wide range of soil types and amendments. Its open bottom allows direct contact with the ground, enabling natural soil integration and drainage. It can be placed on soil, grass, concrete, or decking.
Care: To maintain the planter's appearance and durability, wipe it clean with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the galvanised finish. Periodically check that all screws and fittings remain secure. While galvanised steel offers excellent rust resistance, avoid prolonged contact with highly acidic materials if possible.
