Troubleshooting
Uneven or wobbly structure after assembly.
Ensure all panels are securely fastened and that the ground it sits on is level. Re-check the assembly instructions to confirm correct component placement.
Wood appears to be drying out or cracking.
Apply a coat of outdoor wood sealant or a suitable water-based stain to protect the wood from extreme weather conditions. Ensure regular watering of plants within the bed to maintain ambient moisture.
Soil escaping from the bottom.
This is expected as the bottom is open for drainage. If significant soil loss is an issue, consider lining the bottom with landscape fabric (ensure it still allows drainage) before adding soil.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Assembly is required for this raised garden bed. Ensure you have a clear, level space before beginning. Typically, assembly involves connecting the wooden panels to form the tiered structure. Refer to the included instruction manual for specific steps. Tools may be required (not included).
Compatibility:
This raised garden bed is compatible with most standard potting soils and garden soil mixes. The open bottom allows direct contact with the ground, integrating with your existing soil for drainage and aeration. It is suitable for placement on most flat outdoor surfaces like lawns, patios, or decks (ensure adequate support if on a deck).
Care:
To maintain the appearance and longevity of the fir wood, it is recommended to clean the raised bed periodically with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. While fir wood is naturally resistant to moisture, applying a wood sealant or stain designed for outdoor use annually can further protect it from UV rays and extreme weather, especially if the grey finish is desired to be maintained.
