Customer Reviews for VEVOR Raised Garden Bed, 48.2 x 24.6 x 11 inch Galvanized Metal Planter Box, Outdoor Planting Boxes with Open Base, for Growing Flowers/Vegetables/Herbs in Backyard/Garden/Patio/Balcony, Silver

The cross support bars in the middle are a terrible design and when you add dirt the collapse and pull the sides in distorting the walls. Looks like someone ran into the sides with a car. Will not buy these again.

Bowed out in multiple was when dirt was put in it bowed out he side and then bowed out the long way

I was impressed with the planter at first, then I noticed serious problems with design that really hurts its use.. 1. BIG problem - cross brace material is really bad, flimsy at best, and does NOT hold the sided from bulging. I even tried using all the braces in the middle and the middle still bulged, The top brace will get in the way of planting as well as working the dirt, I finally had to use T-POSTS to keep the sides from bulging.... 2. The corners leak dirt constantly as there is no provision to close the gaps between the straight edge end posts and the wavy edge side material. This became even worse after a rain storm and several inches of dirt flooded out through these openings.

The metal used for the sides is very week. I hsd to instal braces to keep the sides from bulging out of control. Can not get pics to upload. If you send me a email i will get them to you. Thank you Jim

Solid material, but needs to come with all the hardware. We were short a dozen or so wing nuts and bolts. Also needs more supports going between the walls. It’s bulging out at the center and will basically be in my scrap pile soon. 1/10 would not recommend. Image upload won’t even allow a normal photo.

Malgré un montage conforme à la notice, 3 renforts en bas et 3 en haut, une fois rempli de terre la partie à mi hauteur se déforme énormément la partie centrale fait 145 cm de large pour 120 en bas et en haut (cf photo) Elles sont installées dehors depuis 1 mois et les premières traces de rouille apparaissent déjà, alors que les films de protections n'ont été hottés qu'une fois le montage et le remplissage terminé. Je craignais ce résultat, mais au vu des commentaires systématiquement positif, j'ai pris le risque, j'aurais mieux fait d'écouter mon instinct.

not built heavy enough to withstand the dirt presser on sides would not buy again

Bought the 4x8 bed. Took almost 4 hours to build my. Comes in 10-12 pieces. All the panels are coated in a clear plastic which is a pain to remove. Then they chose to use Philips head bolts with wing nuts. Takes about 100 bolts to put it together. Got it together and began to fill it, got it about half full and the sides started bowing out thought maybe when I got it completely full it would straighten itself out. It never did. Went to wet down the dirt when it was full and the sides started to blow out one of the cheap Philips head bolts head broke off and dirt started to come out of the panel. Filed for a refund haven’t gotten one yet and even if I do I still have to clean up the mess of a 4x8x2 amount of dirt in my lawn. Making it bus out of 12 thin metal pieces instead of 4 thicker pieces was the worse design choice. The middle “support” that’s given will buckle when filled. Bought this as a Mother’s Day gift to my wife. Would not recommend buying this.

I am incredibly disappointed with this purchase. The garden bed arrived as an incomplete set, and I am missing several parts that were supposed to be included. Please let me know how you intend to fix this.
