FAQs
What material is the raised bed made of?
The raised bed is made of Polypropylene (PP), a durable and impact-resistant plastic.
What are the exact dimensions of the raised bed?
The dimensions are 80 cm in length, 40 cm in width, and 23 cm in height (L x W x H).
Does the raised bed come with a liner?
No, the product description does not mention a liner. You will need to fill it directly with soil.
Is assembly difficult?
No, the product is designed for easy assembly and comes with a manual to guide you through the process.
Can this raised bed be used indoors?
While it can be used indoors, it is primarily designed for outdoor use. Ensure proper drainage if used indoors to prevent water damage.
What is the warranty period?
The raised bed comes with a 2-year guarantee.
Can I paint the raised bed?
Painting is not recommended as it may void the warranty and the paint may not adhere well to the polypropylene surface.
Troubleshooting
The raised bed feels unstable after assembly.
Ensure all panels are securely connected and that the bed is placed on a level surface. Double-check the assembly steps in the manual.
Discoloration or fading of the material.
This can occur with prolonged UV exposure. While it doesn't affect functionality, you can try cleaning with a mild plastic cleaner or consider repositioning the bed to a location with partial shade.
Difficulty aligning panels during assembly.
Ensure you are following the correct orientation for each panel as shown in the manual. Sometimes slight adjustments are needed for a snug fit.

- Lightweight for easy positioning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unpack all components and check against the manual provided.
- Assemble the raised bed following the step-by-step instructions in the manual. Typically, this involves connecting the sides to form the rectangular shape.
- Place the assembled bed in your desired location. Ensure the ground is level.
- Fill with appropriate soil mix for your intended plants.
Compatibility:
- Surfaces: Suitable for placement on patios, balconies, decks, or directly on garden soil.
- Drainage: While the bed itself does not have drainage holes, it is recommended to ensure proper drainage of the soil mixture within. You may consider adding a layer of gravel at the bottom or ensuring the base material allows water to escape.
Care:
- Clean the surface with a damp cloth as needed.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the plastic.
- While polypropylene is durable, consider covering or moving the bed during extreme weather or prolonged intense sunlight to maximize its lifespan.
