This planter was warped and iscoming apart. My husband had to run wood strip reinforcement as it continued to separate. Horrible product. Even glued attached areas to no avail.
We love these. We purchased in Spring 2020, and it's now summer 2020, so I can't speak to the durability over time, but they were super easy to put together and look great. We treated ours with something called EcoWood treatment (some mineral spray that also makes them look weathered) We'll see if they last for years or not, but for now, we are very happy. We purchased two, and they are very easy to water and maintain. Our lawnmower fits under them, and we protected the legs with plastic tree guards for weed whacking. We have one with herbs and a trailing tomato, and one with strawberries and kale. They so far only seem to need watering every other day, but the hotter it gets we shall see. I think running a drip tube on up the pre-drilled holes would work just fine.
I loved the look of this raised bed. However, the thin wood did not hold up. Only two weeks into the season, it started coming apart at the seams. Not Worth the money.
Built the raised bed according to the instructions. But after filling it with dirt, and planting vegetables the beds sides began to split, and became detached from the legs. I had to end up securing the whole thing with a ratchet strap.
I don't know, it's been over a month and they still have not been delivered. I ordered 2 on March 12 and the shipper said they don't even have them yet. Very disappointed.
I ordered 2 and 1 of them is already falling apart I had to put a ratchet strap around it to hold it together because it has separated on one end and won’t go back together even with 2 people pushing and shoving. I even took all the dirt and liner out and still a no go. I had high hopes for these garden beds to last a few years at least. No such luck.
