FAQs

How long does it take for the rust to develop?

The rust development time varies depending on environmental conditions, typically taking several months.

Can I paint the raised bed?

Painting is not recommended, as it will negate the benefits of the Corten steel's natural rust resistance.

What kind of soil should I use?

Use a soil mix appropriate for the plants you intend to grow. Consider using a well-draining soil to prevent waterlogging.

How do I prevent staining from the rust?

Avoid direct contact with the rusty surface. Consider using a barrier or lining between the bed and any seating or clothing.

Is the raised bed suitable for all climates?

Yes, the Corten steel is weather-resistant and suitable for most climates. However, ensure plants are suitable for your local conditions.

What are the dimensions of the raised bed?

The dimensions are 129 x 129 x 45 cm (L x W x H).

What if a part is missing?

Contact the seller or manufacturer to request a replacement part, referring to the parts list in the manual.

Can I move the raised bed after it is filled?

It is not recommended to move the bed once it is filled due to its weight. Place it in the desired location before filling it with soil.

Troubleshooting

Rust is not developing.

Spray the Corten steel with a mixture of soap water and salt water to accelerate the rusting process. Ensure the bed is exposed to the elements.

The bed is unstable.

Check all screws and brackets to ensure they are properly tightened. Make sure the bed is placed on a level surface.

Assembly is difficult.

Carefully review the assembly manual and ensure all parts are correctly identified. If needed, seek assistance from another person.
