Land Guard 8ft Galvanized Raised Garden Bed Kit, Raised Garden Boxes Outdoor, Oval Metal Raised Garden Beds for Vegetables, Silver,108 Gallon Capacity(with 10 Connecting rods)

Good product for a reasonable price. Kits arrived damage-free in compact packaging. I ordered three 8’ kits intending to build out two 10’ long raised beds. This meant I’d have a 4’ section left over. Assembly is straightforward and instructions were as clear as any other flat-pack product purchased these days. There were no missing pieces or holes as other reviewers have reported, and although I did have some leftover hardware to draw from if needed, I can still build out the remaining 4’ bin with the correct amount of bits. I recommend assembling these on a flat surface like a driveway or deck to make sure they are plumb when fully built. I found it best to install the upper row of tie rods as I went along assembling the two sides. It keeps it somewhat stable during the assembly. A power driver sped up the tedious installation of all the bolts. Because I was fabricating 1/2” screen wire to be fastened to the bottom of each bed, I waited to install the bottom row of bolts & tie rods. Once the sheet metal was assembled, I put it up on sawhorses to attach the rodent proofing screen to the inside at the bottom by bolting the screen in place as I installed the bottom row of fasteners. I added washers to make the wire more secure. It took a bit of time to add this to the assembly, but it came out very clean and completely critter resistant. The final assembly dropped right into place and I added metal stakes bolted to the inside to assure they stay level and secure. Final installation looks and functions great.

Sometimes you need a specific sized grow box that is both narrow and long at the same time. In this case I needed an 8 foot long grow box, that was 2 feet wide and a foot tall to sit next to a 4 foot wide one that I already had that is the same style, width and height. The 8' version made by Land Guard fit the bill. It is not too surprising since they also made the 4 foot wide one. This is not the most heavy duty grow box that you will ever find, but it is a deal that is had to beat for a grow box kit of this size. Assembly instructions are not great, but if you are in any way mechanically inclined assembly is fairly simple. I am sure the engineer that created the instructions felt they were pretty straight forward, but I am sure a lot of people will find them confusing. It is amazing that this grow box kit shows up in 12" x12" x 4" box that includes all of the pieces and assembly hardware. I seriously thought they shipped wrong kit. Overall it fits my needs and looks nice, what more could you ask for?

After reading reviews of this product, I decided to give it a try and for under $30 how high could my expectations be. I could not be happier with it and felt the need to write a review. It could not have been any easier to assemble, every hole lined up perfectly and it went together relatively quick. There are many screws, so it is a little time consuming. As for stability, unless you slam straight into it at full steam with a lawnmower, it seems very stable to me. They even provided extra screws and nuts for assembly. Very happy.

I recently Ordered two of the Land Guard 8ft Galvanized Raised Garden Beds. Overall I’m pleased with the purchase as these are #6 and #7 of the total number I’ve purchased. They are easy to assemble and hold up quite well in my garden. However, on completion of the last garden bed I came up short on the support rods. Two of the rods are missing and one has no threaded end on one end of the rod making it unusable. Perhaps Land Guard can send me a set of replacement rods? Even still I will continue to use them as is by replacing the rods with nuts and bolts as they did provide extras. Additionally, two rods were bent but still usable. The product deserves a 5 star rating but due to the missing rods I can’t give it more than 4 stars.

This is a good product: nicely priced and a sturdy little thing. The only issue I had with it was there were no written direction: there was a nicely drawn diagram with the steps set-out in a clear fashion. But we missed a key step and had to go back and unscrew a whole lot of nuts and bolts. Took us about an hour and a half to finish, but we were very pleased with ourselves at the end product. Okay, what we learned: pay attention to the fact that you don't need to put nuts and bolts into every opening given(we did and then undid). The drawings are clear but the project looked so simple and mindless, we missed that crucial information.

Worked great! Came with all the tools needed to assemble and has held up through snow and rain. Good size for a variety of small plants and deep enough for root growth. Would buy again.

Easy to put together, looks great. It took 18 bags of 0.75 cu. ft of soil to fill it up. Feels sturdy, I have no complaints!

I must have misread the description because I thought this was 2 feet high, but it's only 1'. I had wanted it to help keep rabbits out of my green beans, but this isn't going to be high enough to do that. It's also not the most attractive planter, but should serve its purpose now that it's finally put together. The putting together was harder than it needed to be because there are virtually not directions. What the manufacturer seems to think should pass for directions is a printed sheet of paper listing the parts and a drawing of the planter with the parts labeled. Parts were another problem. Mine came with one defective bolt, it had no drive on the top so there was no way to insert a screwdriver in it to screw it in. As it turns out, I didn't need that bolt because I was also missing several of the cross supports. I ended up using the cross supports on the top and then only had 3 cross supports for the bottom. Since the supports come in two pieces, that means I was missing FOUR of these. How does it happen then this was packaged with four missing pieces? They were tied together in two bundles. with plastic ties, so they are likely made in bunches of a certain amount in each bunch, (should have been ten in each bunch) and the ties on mine were tight with no room for any more, so this was made this way at the factory. They didn't accidentally fall out. That would have been obvious as the ties would have been loose if some of them had fallen out. Perhaps the manufacturer should include a couple extra parts to accommodate for the odd defective part, and have some quality control so that whoever is putting the bunches of dividers together, counts them properly. I have the planter put together now and it took much longer than it should have, because of the lack of directions and missing and faulty parts. It is not as stable as it should be because of the missing parts, so time will tell how long it will hold together.

Very easy to assemble and turned out great. These are easy to make a bit smaller if needed - just add one or two less panels that are on the sides. Got this assembled in a little more than half an hour without trying to rush. only thing I was a little concerned about is that the round pieces all seemed to have a little bend in the probably from shipping because they were all the same. I ordered two and the other one was fine. I can and will easily bend them back into shape though. I would recommend putting it together in a place where you can't lose the parts if dropped (like long grass) because moving to their permanent location will be easy due to the light weight. happy with this purchase.

Good quality. Lots of screws to put in so it takes time to assemble but really easy. I’m happy with it. I had ordered 2, one had one panel missing and I very quickly got a refund. Great service. I recommend this.

Takes awhile to assemble. Good looking product.

Was a little time consuming to put together by yourself but worth it to keep your dirt contained and your space looking great. I purchased a second one and it was easier to put together. Looks shinny in my space. Now to fill it

It’s great. Some of the threads are rough and don’t want to thread in all the way but they still work just fine. We used this for our tomato plants and has worked great so far.
