Vego garden Raised Garden Bed Kits, 17" Tall 6 in 1 Modular Metal Raised Planter Bed for Vegetables Flowers Patio Ground Planter Box-Pearl White

Great raised bed, easy assembly and sturdy construction once completed. As a few have said, the finished outside painted facing of each raised bed section are wrapped with clear protective plastic and it certainly was not easy to remove. Took longer to peel each plastic sheet off the metal pieces than it took to construct the entire finished garden bed.

I bought this to use in my 2025 garden. I have been using garden bags and want to upgrade. Since I am a visual person, I wanted to see it put together before I ordered more.First, it was easy to assemble and the directions are clear. It appears to be very sturdy and unlikely to bend easily. The size is perfect. Lastly, the rubber gasket around the top edge is very nice and protective.I will say the gasket was a little tricky to install, specifically around the areas where the pieces overlap. Patience and persistence paid off.I will post an update after the 2025 growing season to comment on longevity.

Perfect raised vegetable bed. easy to put together and choices of design.

I have tried various other methods to have raised garden beds, mostly wood-based, but no matter what material I used (treated as well as cedar) they all eventually rot and need replacing.Now that I am in to my 70s, having to bend down, let alone get on my knees, to garden was no longer an option (I didn't like getting on my knees when I was a kid!). So I bought their tallest 3.5x3.5 model and I love it. Just the right height for me (6'3" - I have shrunk an inch as I aged).The panels come covered in a type of plastic sheeting to protect the outside of the panels. But, boy, is that plastic hard to remove. It isn't as easy as the plastic film you find covering plastic or glass surfaces to protect them from scratching that just lifts right off. Nope, this stuff has to be slowly peeled away from the panel. After getting it started on one edge, I eventually found the best way is to use both thumbs and push the plastic away from you, sort of rolling the plastic up as you go. The first panel took me about 20 minutes to remove the sheet (remember, the kit I bought has the tallest panels), gradually figuring out which was the best way to do it, but once I got that panel done, each succeeding panel took me less and less time and the last panel (there were 8), I had the process down to less than 5 minutes.Yes, putting the panels together, especially on this tall model, really does require two people. I managed to get it done by myself, but what a chore it was. Also, I started putting it together inside, attaching a straight panel to a curved panel (I created a square bed), I decided I'd better check the width of my exterior doors. Good thing, too, since my doors were an inch smaller than the narrowest dimension of the completed bed. So I finished the build outside on my deck and then carried the completed bed to where I wanted it.I used the carton the kit came in as a base, setting the bed on top of the unfolded box. The cardboard box was slightly larger than the 3.5x3.5 bed and after getting some compost inside the bed to keep it from moving, I used a utility knife to trim off the cardboard that stuck out from beneath the bed. It took over two dozen bags of compost, some were larger than others as I used different brands (I will warn you that Miracle Grow brand compost has a lot of sticks and stones and just doesn't seem as well composted as the other brands I used). That almost filled it, to about 6 inches from the top of the bed, but it has since settled and next year I will need to add several more bags of compost.Overall, I am very pleased with the bed itself. I found it very sturdy, it looks nice (love the dark green color I chose), and there have been no problems. There was no "blow-out" or panels bowing due to the weight of so much soil such as one comment noted. The 3.5x3.5 square seems really solid and sturdy; possibly creating other sizes with longer sides is what creates that problem.

Vego makes a great product. It is sturdy, easy to assemble and is worth the expense. I own four and am very pleased.

Great garden bed. Sturdy and easy to put together. We have 4 now!

These are all the rage right now, they look fun colorful and cool. And I'm trying to get my garden going again for spring, because we have limited space I assumed this would be a perfect addition to my garden. Well, not really. At least not for our situation.I didn't think this through.the part about the planter being bottomless.We would be putting this on a hardscape surface.That means this planter needs some sort of non damaging drainage.I thought using cardboard or landscape fabric before adding soil would do the job, but my partner just couldn't wrap his head around it.He pictured endless days of rinsing down the flagstone surface and stressing about the surface being stained for eternity where the planter would be sitting, and said "Nope, this will not work."Plus it is rather large. I thought I bought one of the smallest they make.In conclusion. You really need to put it on top of a surface that doesn't need to stay clean. Like dirt. Not a good small patio solution at all.If he wasn't involved I would have kept it and dealt with the drainage and stains.I love the look of it, but it unfortunately it had to go back.

Easy to assemble in several configurations to fit your space. Sturdy, well made, and still rust free a year later in a high humidity environment.
