Customer Reviews for Frame It All Two Inch Series 12 ft. x 12 ft. x 22 in. Split Waterfall Classic Sienna Composite Raised Garden Bed Kit

I like that the board are a wood/plastic blend. It was easy to put together and it met my expectations. I have had it about a month and the bush green bean seeds I planted are growing nicely. I did put landscape fabric in the bottom to keep unwanted plants from growing up through the dirt. 10 bags of raised bed soil filled the bed half way.

Order received missing 4 key parts. A phone call to Frame-It-All resolved the issue and the missing parts were received 2 weeks later. Prior experience with orders of Frame-It-All kits shows that missing parts in stacked kits is not unusual, but the company usually makes good on the missing and/or shipping damaged items in short order.

This kit is very poorly constructed. I even went with the bigger size boards and there were still cracked boards in the box. Home Depot replaced them-no problem-but I wish they would go back to the vendor that they carried a couple years ago-the quality was much better.

excellent option to treated lumber or concrete with minimal labor. most of all the longevity of the product

excellent option to treated lumber and concrete forms. fast install with longevity

I received this kit last week and it has already been installed. This landscape edging has really enhanced my front yard. The product was easy to assemble and adjustable. Make sure your ground area is level and even. I just ordered another kit to complete a circle around some trees.

I purchased these beds nine years ago. They were easy to put together, were very sturdy, and looked great in the garden. But there are some downsides. First of all, they are really pricey, and they do not last forever as I had hoped after making such an investment. Perhaps it was because of the environmental effects of sun, summer heat, and cold winters, but after three years, the pressure from the inside from the soil started to warp the boards. They began to bow outwards and gaps started to appear between the upper and lower boards. A few of the boards also became brittle and developed cracks. Last year I finally had to pull them out and replace with cedar boards. The good news was that at least I was able to reuse the corner brackets as well as some of the boards, but the majority had to be discarded. I wish they had lasted longer than they did.

Easy to assemble. Garden is in the ground and growing!

A very nice raised bed and very easy to assemble. I would recommend that you use a drill or a power tool of some sort to attached brackets to sides instead of a screwdriver as the directions indicate; a screwdriver does not work well. Assembles in a few minutes and you're ready to fill with dirt and plant.

Easy to assemble!!! Wish they would have made 8 ft board instead of connecting the 2 /4ft boards!!!

Easy assembly. Great quality.

Awesome product. Shipping was fast. All parts received. Went together easy.

This bed did not come with assembly instructions so I had to find them on the manufacturer's website. Once I found them the assembly was much easier to understand. The hard work of putting this together was well worth the timeand money spent as it allows for growing several crops together with an appealing look to it.

The frame was really easy to put together once i read the instructions and knew how the brackets were screwed on and how the middle plank worked. This only comes with one board for the middle that goes on the top with no panel below it.

The materials were good quality, not great. The plastic boards are hollow and one was slightly damaged in shipping, but putting the damaged part toward the inside hid it under the dirt. The connectors were a little flimsy, but sufficiently strong to keep the boards in place. The screws were a little on the small side, but again, sufficient to hold it all together while we carried it outside and put it in place. Seems like it will hold up for several years, but not quite as sturdy as it looks in the pictures.

I highly recommend this product because of its good quality and easy to use

I liked how easy the edging is to install, the spikes used to secure the sections went into the ground easily, which is a surprise because I have rocky clay soil. It has been raining recently so that probably helped. The only thing I disliked about the edging was that a couple of the screws stripped when I attached them to the composite wood pieces. I have not added the playground bark yet, but it looks like the edging will work well when I do add it.

I wouldn't recommend using the one inch series if you are going to stack them. Dirt weighs a lot and even with the 2" series I used hanger tape to hold the middle of the sections together on the second and third layer to avoid bowing. These are wonderful. My soil is clay and rock, so this is a perfect solution.

I ordered the 22" high version. It arrived quickly, and is in good condition. I have installed half of the order so far and there are no missing parts to this point. The raised bed seems sturdy enough. The directions indicate 2 different type of stakes - one type to pound into the ground and another type to use for stacking levels - but only one type of stake is provided. This does not seem to be a problem. Depending on how durable the product is will be the real test.

I've never had a garden and liked the idea that I could start small and then add on new sections. The installation was very easy and I like the look of the composite and fact that I won't end up having to seal/stain it each year

I had bought two of these items previously. The third one was DIFFERENT. Not necessarily a good thing. The composite boards, although apparently somewhat sturdier, did not match the previous ones. Also, the plastic stakes were lengthened substantially, making it more difficult, at least for me, to install them. The good news is that the packaging has been improved so that all the plastic pieces arrived unbroken (not the case on previous orders).

It was very easy to assemble it also makes a great sandbox

The system was very easy to install and very easy to cut 2 size.

Easy to assemble and secure to the ground. I used a drill to mount the screws to the corner brackets although you could probably do it by hand also since the material is a plastic composite. We'll see how it holds up after a few seasons.

Great deal when on sale, beware however that if you plan to stack two of these you need to call frame it all and pay to get stacking stakes. They are $1 a piece plus shipping. Otherwise a nice product.

This raised bed kit was easy to assemble - I did it with my 4 year old granddaughter! We had a great time planting our raised bed vegetable garden together.

This was very easy to put together. Bought it for my daughter who wanted to start a vegetable garden. She could have done it herself, and she is no handyman. Lightweight, sturdy and attractive. Only reason I dinged the value rating is because it seems like you shouldn't have to spend over $100 for 6 plastic boards. But daughter is very happy with it, so that's what counts. Just got it so I can't say how long it will last.
