Troubleshooting
Raised bed feels unstable after assembly
Ensure all connections are securely fastened according to the assembly instructions. Check that the ground it sits on is level.
Water pooling in the raised bed
Improve soil drainage by mixing in perlite or sand, or ensure adequate drainage holes are clear if the design includes them. If on a solid surface, consider adding a layer of gravel at the base before filling with soil.
Material showing signs of fading or wear after extended outdoor use
While polypropylene is durable, prolonged direct sunlight can cause fading. Consider positioning the bed in a location with partial shade if possible, or use a UV protectant spray designed for plastics (test in an inconspicuous area first).
