Greenes 173.92 Gal. Cedar Wood Composter

I bought this composter and 2 add-ons for my wife and I have 3 comments: 1. It was very simple to assemble. Pieces fit good, no warping of boards 2. Extra spacers were included which was nice if you wanted to space the boards further apart. Or if any were lost. 3. A suggestion - I screwed some 1x6 pieces to the bottom of the corner posts. This added stability in moving the bins and made them easier to maneuver and work with. Only had this for about a week, but it seems to do the job so far.

I recently purchased two Greenes Fence composters from Home Depot but was challenged by a hilly location for the installation. Using some bricks that were lying around, I created a level foundation. I ended up setting up 3 composters of varying heights. The product arrived quickly from my online order and was very easy to assemble. The bins looked so nice, we decided to treat the exterior with Thompson's water seal. See attached photos.

Very easy to assemble.

I can recommend it assuming you don't ship an incomplete package, again. I like the product and had bought raised beds previously. Easy assembly, but unfortunately my package came short seven (7) boards. I did not count the content prior to assembling, and it is not worth dis-assembling to mail back. Hopefully they will ship me an additional 7 boards. Please.............

Hey everyone! I ended up getting this unit plus the two add ons. I started off with one bin because I was worried from reading other reviews that some of the pieces were difficult to fit together, and wanted to see how things went before committing. Overall, this was a breeze to put together, and I actually enjoyed the process! I did not even use my rubber mallet on the first two compost bins. The trick is to slide the side-boards down very slowly and evenly, otherwise they will catch. I recommend wearing good quality gloves because splinters will be a problem if you don't. I used garden gloves with rubber palms. I also recommend building it in the spot you plan to use it. It can be moved fairly easy but the bottom slats tend to slide out if it's lifted because they are not nailed or glued to the posts. However, once it's in it's resting place, it's quite sturdy. The reason I'm giving it 4 stars is because I noticed a quality control issue while building the last compost bin. I think one of the posts was not routed straight and the side-boards were a little more difficult to maneuver. That said, it was nothing the rubber mallet couldn't handle, and I'm glad I had one handy. Because of covid-19, I decided to pick the item up at Home Depot and used their "curbside pickup" for the first time. It was a piece of cake and saved me $50 on a delivery fee. The packages are medium-sized, and were loaded into the back of my car for me. I hope this review helps you make a decision one way or the other. I believe this item will last a long time, and would definitely buy it again.

Super easy to put together, compost gets plenty of airflow, and it looks really nice in my yard. I was using plastic trash bins with holes drilled in them but they were so ugly and inefficient. I’m so happy I spent the money on these cedar composters and I highly recommend them!

I have a mixed review. I ordered 5 of these in two separate orders a month apart. The product attractive and is easy to assemble. Unfortunately there was a problem with each order. In both cases the wood components were not made correctly, a different component in each order. This forced me to call Green's Fence Company's customer service twice. In both cases their customer service was great and immediately FedExed me replacement parts. So I have mixed feelings. The product and customer service is good, but the quality control of the product coming out of the factory is poor.

Took less than a half hour to put together. All you need is a rubber mallet. Highly recommend!

The worst quality of cedar boards I’ve ever seen, most boards were so rotten, they crumbled as I took them out of the box, unusable went straight in the garbage.

Perfect item. Well made and easy to assemble.
