Customer Reviews for EarthMark Bajo Series 40 in. x 40 in. x 10 in. Square - Galvanized Metal Raised Garden Bed

This raised bed is really easy to put together and it's lightweight as well. I have 5 of these in our front yard and they look great. Another plus (for me) is that they absorb heat better than wood and so they work well for growing tomatoes and peppers. The only negative aspect is the metal is thin and can be bent - don't ask me how I know this.

good product,not the most sturdy. the cross supports are not rigid enough and the top one is too close to the perimeter of the planter.fair price and speedy delivery.

I ordered 2 of these raised beds. They shipped on time, were well packaged, had easy to follow directions, and took me about 1/2 hour to set up (each). I'm happy with them and would order again.

I recommend this product with some qualifications. On the plus side, the galvanized metal is likely to be more durable than wood, and the kit was easy to assemble. On the negative side, the sheet metal is a light-weight gauge and it bends if you accidentally step on it. Also, the mid-point bracing can easily be covered with the fill-dirt and then become susceptible to bending if you feel the need to step into the garden bed. Overall, however, this raised-bed garden looks good, is priced right, and I'm optimistic that it will do the job with the proper care.

Very simple to put together. Good quality.

Exactly what I expected

The product was exactly as I expected it to be. It was easy to assemble by hand. Although the instructions show regular nuts on all the fittings, some of the fittings came with wing nuts, which were easier to use. Once the bed was assembled, I used a wrench and pliers to tighten everything. I read that some reviewers did not install the inside supporting pieces, but I did. This week I filled the bed with planting mix. The height of the bed made it easy to tip the planting mix into the bed from a wheelbarrow. The metal is very bright when the sun shines on it. Might be a problem if you have a neighbor's window nearby, which I don't. Overall I am very happy with the raised bed and plan to buy more.

I was very pleased with the ease of putting this together.

Looks great easy to assemble and carry used for rose bushes wil probably get a few more for additional rose bushes and also garden

I just love this galvanized metal raised garden bed, so easy to put together looks beautiful and I can't wait till it goes on sale again

Simple to assemble. This appears to be a product that will hold up well with direct soil contact and the rigors of outside weather. I purchased one; was impressed, then purchased number two and three.

This Raised bed was easy to assemble .

Easy to assemble.

I got 3 of these beds as a Mother's Day gift, and now that they are all set up, the only I am disappointed about is that I waited so long to get them! Very easy to put together. SUPER lightweight, but incredibly sturdy. They are now filled to the top with dirt and there is no bowing of the sides at all. They look fantastic and I've already gotten a lot of compliments about them.

We bought two of the raised beds. My husband put them together very quickly. They look nice and are already in use. The large one has tomatoes the smaller strawberries. Very pleased.

Like the idea that it is steel. The holes were drilled in wrong spot. They should have been in the flat beveled part of steel. I Just used longer screws and it went together ok. It would have been simple to put together if the holes were drilled in right area. Other then that Im happy with product.

I was concerned about the thickness of the metal, but was pleased to find that it is a sturdy material. The overall length of this unit makes it a bit more flimsy than the shorter ones, which I also purchased, and rather than use the expansion kit braces across the bed I used a rebar driven into the inside to support and the braces provided driven vertically on the outside, which should keep it from bowing out. While ideally I would like a deeper bed, this is more than sufficient for my growing needs. The potatoes are growing in towers and pots instead! They dress up my otherwise messy new garden area.

They were easy to put together and love they will last a long time!!!

I think the metal would heat up too much to be good for the plants.

Very cheap quality. When assembled, corner brackets are inside the side panels, allowing for soil to seep out through corrugated openings. Poor assembly instructions.

The extended bed took an hour to assemble, but the materials seem to be well made, and should last a long time. It is light weight, so you can assemble in one area and carry to wherever it will be used. If you want a raised bed, this product fits the bill.

Packaged very well to protect product. Very easy to assemble. Great contemporary look! I love this bed!
