Garvee Galvanized Raised Garden Bed Kit with Cover - Extra Deep Metal Planter, Reinforced Structure, Easy Assembly, Weather-Resistant Steel, Efficient Drainage, Outdoor Vegetable Gardening

For $60, this is a great garden bed. It's finally warm enough in Michigan to work in the yard so the first thing we did was put the garden bed together. The instructions were mostly clear and the few extra steps we had are all because we didn't pay attention properly. Read it and look at the pictures, so you place everything where it belongs.The bed is really nice and stable, we assembled it in the garage and then were easily able to just carried it out in the yard. I like the structure but won't be using the cover, unless we still get hit with a cold spell. I like the bars to attach stakes or ties to stabilize my peppers. I do not like that the top attaches to the bed with some fairly flimsy plastic clips. If I was using the cover, I would be worried that they may not be strong enough if it gets windy.We have 4 other garden beds in various sizes and different brands, and the price/value of this one is very good. Again, $60 at the time of order

Assembly took long because directions are not clear. I really appreciate words and not tiny diagrams and hope this may be improved. We did not have any missing parts.The size is adequate for a raised garden bed or putting plant starts in at early spring. It appears durable and like it will be a useful item in our garden space.The listing said it had a screening mesh material cover however it is a plastic cover with no holes. I had wanted to grow some berries in this with protection from the birds. The solid plastic may be used to cover your plant starts in early spring, and hopefully not bake them. We may use the cover as long as we can like a mini green house effect for lettuce after warm season is over.Because of the directions/assembly issue and the listing saying it had mesh when it didn't, I took one star off.

Instructions are hard to understand. The bar in the middle is very flimsy. The brackets that hold the poles break kind of easy. I just set this up the other day. Getting ahead in the planting season

I am installing this in a couple of months when the weather permits but I've opened and inspected it all and I am very impressed with the quality of the materials. It includes a raised metal garden bed frame that bolts together which is easy to install as I've used similar frames. The size is 6' by 3' which is all the garden I can handle and is the perfect depth to reach all the plants from one side. The support poles pop together to hold the cover which zips on two sides to raise the entire length of one side for accessibility and will protect my plants from all the crows and squirrels that enjoy harassing my potted plants. I could not have found a better greenhouse solution this affordable and I'm really excited to get gardening this year!
