Troubleshooting
Bed is not stable
Ensure all connections are tightened securely. Verify the ground surface is level before filling with soil.
Water pooling in the bed
Confirm the ground beneath the open bottom is not compacted and allows for drainage. Ensure no debris is blocking the base.
Rust spots appearing
Galvanized steel can develop minor rust spots over time, especially at edges or scratched areas. Lightly sand the affected area and apply a metal-compatible sealant if desired for added protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: While specific assembly instructions are not detailed here, galvanized steel raised beds typically involve connecting pre-formed panels or sections using provided screws or bolts. Ensure all connections are secure for stability.
Compatibility: This raised bed is designed for outdoor use and is compatible with planting directly onto soil, grass, or concrete surfaces due to its open bottom. It is not intended for indoor use or placement on elevated, non-permeable surfaces where drainage could be an issue.
