Vego garden Raised Garden Bed Kits, 17" Tall 9 in 1 8ft X 2ft Metal Raised Planter Bed for Vegetables Flowers Ground Planter Box-Olive Green

Update: I now have 8 of these raised beds by Vego as of July 2025. My first Vego raised bed from 2022 is going strong and looks like new, even with mowing and weed whacking around it. Nothing damages these raised beds. Original review: Over the course of two years I've increased to 6 of these Vego Garden raised beds, a real upgrade from the wood bed and random pots I'd been growing vegetables in. The quality is excellent. The materials aren't flimsy and the beds are sturdy and maintain their shape when filled with dirt. Assembly is tedious, but not a complete deal breaker. The first time ever assembling one took awhile, but now it takes me a little over an hour of continuous work to assemble one completely. Speed of assembly greatly increased when Vego switched to a nut design that had the washer already attached to it, versus having to put a separate washer and nut on each bolt. I think assembly would be easier if I had some sort of ratcheting wrench or even a drill with a socket attachment to tighten everything. Since I don't, I use the tiny socket wrench enclosed with the parts kit, which is a tedious task. Each metal panel is wrapped on both sides with plastic that has to be removed, but once you get a corner pull started, the plastic rips off quickly. I've bought so many of these because they're sturdy and I really like the olive green color. I think it makes my garden area look planned and intentional, versus thrown together. The major drawback is cost. There are other cheaper alternatives offered here on Amazon--but I think quality varies greatly according to reviews. I guess I'd rather pay more for something I know will last a long time, claims to be made of food safe materials, and won't fall apart or rust-- especially since I'm growing edible items in the beds.

This was so easy to put together, it’s sturdy and the edges are not sharp. They gave great, easy instructions and their website has wonderful videos! Great product. Wish I had 10 of them!

It shows at least two configurations, but it only is set up for one.

I expected the version I bought to come with the bars to fasten to the inside and stop buckling but was able to bushcraft stainless wire to the nuts and it seems to do the trick. Fingers crossed

Love these Vego Raised Garden Bed Kits! I purchased four of them and created an amazing vegetable garden. They are 17” tall, the metal panels are thick and durable. Simply screw the panels together using the predrilled holes into the pattern you want. There are many configurations that can be made and the instructions lay out all the different shapes you can make very easily. The kit itself is very heavy, I simply unboxed it and set it up right on the lawn so it was easy to move where I desired once put together. I filled with good garden soil and planted away! Once the season was done I simply removed any dead vegetation and walked away. These beds do not rust and are perfect for year round. Amazing value for the money if you are unable to garden in the ground.
