Can I use this indoors?

What is the benefit of a bottomless base?
A bottomless base improves drainage, prevents waterlogging, and allows plant roots to grow deeper into the soil, promoting healthier growth.
How should I care for the galvanised steel finish?
Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Periodically check for any damage or corrosion.
Troubleshooting
Bed is unstable after assembly.
Ensure all screws and bolts are fully tightened. Verify that the bed is placed on a level surface. Check that the panels are correctly aligned during assembly.
Water pooling in the bed.
Confirm the bottomless base is not blocked by compacted soil or debris. Ensure the ground underneath offers adequate drainage. Consider adding a layer of gravel at the base if drainage is consistently poor.
Trellis feels loose.
Check and tighten the fasteners securing the trellis to the bed frame. Ensure the trellis posts are firmly seated in their designated slots.
Signs of rust appearing.
Galvanised steel is rust-resistant, but not rust-proof. Minor rust spots can sometimes be treated with a galvanised repair paint. For significant rust, consider protective measures or replacement of affected parts.
