FAQs
What are the dimensions of the bed?
The bed measures 120cm in length, 60cm in width, and stands 30cm tall.
Can I place this directly on a deck?
Yes, but be aware that the open-base design means soil and water may drain onto your decking. You may want to place a protective mat or liner underneath if staining is a concern.
Does the steel get too hot for plant roots?
While metal can conduct heat, the standard wall thickness and airflow provided by the design generally keep the internal soil temperature stable for most plants.
Is the bed weather-resistant?
Yes, it is constructed from galvanised steel with a powder-coated finish specifically designed to withstand outdoor conditions and resist rust.
Do I need special tools to build it?
No, it comes with all necessary fixings. You will only need a basic screwdriver for assembly.
Can I stack these beds to make them taller?
This model is designed as a standalone unit. Stacking is not recommended as the manufacturer provides fixings for a single-level configuration.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty aligning screw holes during assembly
Loosely insert all screws before tightening them fully to allow for minor adjustments in panel alignment.
Rubber seal coming loose from the edge
Ensure the steel edge is clean and dry before applying the seal, and press firmly to seat the adhesive or friction grip properly.
Bed feels wobbly after assembly
Check that all corner fixings are tightened evenly and verify that the ground surface is level.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly is straightforward; align the steel panels and use the provided galvanised fixings to secure the structure. We recommend using a hand screwdriver to avoid overtightening and stripping the threads. Once assembled, apply the rubber seal firmly around the top edge. To maintain the life of the product, keep the area around the base clear of heavy debris to ensure proper drainage. While the finish is rust-resistant, periodic cleaning with a mild soap and water solution will keep the sage green exterior looking vibrant. Ensure the bed is placed on a surface that can handle moisture, as the open base is designed to let excess water pass through into the ground.
