Troubleshooting

Assembly instructions unclear

Review the included manual step-by-step. If parts are missing or damaged, contact customer support for replacements. Visual guides or online videos for similar products may offer additional clarity.

Raised bed is wobbly after assembly

Ensure all bolts and connections are tightened securely. Check that the ground on which the bed is placed is level. Verify that all interior support brackets are correctly installed and fastened.

Powder coating appears chipped or scratched

Minor scratches may not affect structural integrity. For significant damage, consider using a metal-safe touch-up paint in a matching anthracite color to prevent rust. Avoid using sharp objects around the bed.

Water pooling inside the bed

Ensure adequate drainage by adding a layer of gravel or coarse material at the bottom of the bed before filling with soil, or incorporate a layer of landscape fabric that allows water to pass through.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This raised bed requires assembly. Ensure you have a clear, level area where you intend to place it before starting. Follow the included instructions carefully, typically involving connecting the steel panels and securing them with provided hardware. It is recommended to have a second person assist with assembly due to the size and weight of the components.

Care:

  • Clean the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the coating.
  • Inspect regularly for any signs of wear or damage to the coating and address promptly.
  • While designed for outdoor use, extreme weather conditions might necessitate additional protection if prolonged exposure causes concern.
