vidaXL Garden Raised Bed 240x80x44 cm Galvanised Steel Silver

It came on time and well packaged. It is easy to put together if two people do it. It holds quite a lot so takes some filling but once filled looks good in situ.

To peel off the plastic was a pain, a lot of work. The edges are very sharp where they overlap and it was awkward putting together. I like the look , will have to see if they are durable

Really happy. I got the 4 meter version, however used it against a wall as two shorter planters. Worked a treat. I did however need a few extras bits due to what I was doing but all very easy to do and readily available. Basically a few extra M6 nuts, bolts and washers - a couple of quid from screwfix. I also bought some ‘galvanised restraint straps’ from Wickes for £2.50-£3. This was to stop the (end against the wall) being pause apart by the weight of the soil. The restraint straps have predrilled holes so just bent the ends to 90 degrees and used the predrilled holes in the panels designed for connecting the next sheet to instead connect the ends of my galvanised restraint strap to act as a cross brace. Sounds complex, really wasn’t.

The planter looks great and goes together easily, put the ends together first line up the sides it’ll fit. Can take 800 ltrs of compost no problem. Well worth the money

The main problem is the "Instruction" and I use the term lightly, it is wholly unclear how to assemble this item, it took us all day and we still have to put on the metal wire part but will have to look up how. The other bad point is the very thin paint layer it scuffs and scratches realy easily which spoils the look, ours is the dark grey 4 meter long one. Plus points are it is bigger thatn i expected and seems sturdy although we have not used it yet.

Initially a bit fiddly but with two of us put the planter together really happy with it. Very solid and looks great. Perfect height. We will be planting up with vegetables

Came well packed, although with scuff marks in places, out of the box. Shows up more with dark grey. Its a bit wobbly than I expected but solid with soil in it. The volume is fairly big, you may want to have one half planted and the other half as a compost bid. It does dry out so would maybe advise burying a container or pond liner. Also i had a rabbit or fox dig in it for a sleepover, so maybe you want to get mesh, big rocks to prevent that. Some of the screws are beginning to rust after a while but otherwise solid.

Arrived on time and very well packaged. Assembly required but if you can put together kitchen units then you'll be fine. I purchased the 240x80x81cm Galvanised which is very large and will take a lot of soil. However you can experiment and assemble the parts to make different sized planters if you want. Overall very pleased with my purchase.

I bought 4 of these at different times, one, one then two. Each time the price increased and it wasn't that long between purchases. Very disappointing. I think prices should be fixed if you buy again within 30 days. Might be a good incentive. I assembled by myself and a partial assembly (4 manageable pieces to move to the garden) took about 3 hours. Holes don't line-up so readily and there are more panels than you think, twice as many in fact. Finally assembly, in position, was about an hour. The first unit I left in position, overnight, before filling it. Next morning I noticed most of the fixing screws had started to rust. I sprayed all of them with cold gal paint. Fortunately this was the first one. Although the top edges are rolled so they're not sharp, there is an issue where the sheets join end to end. These joins don't always sit flush together and present a very serious cutting hazard. I covered the top edges by splitting 13mm black poly pipe and fitting it to the entire top edge. I think some sort of protective edging should be supplied with each unit. I would buy again but the large garden is unavailable in plain gal finish. Probably too expensive by now.

Dit is typische een goedkope VidaXL bak. Hij komt in een doos(de eerste doos was zo beschadigd dat hij terug moest). Tijdens het in mekaar zetten bleek al gauw dat elk paneel waar het blauwe beschermingsplastic vanaf kwam beschadigd was. Ik heb geen enkele paneel zonder kras of deuk. Weet dus wat je koopt als je een nette bak wil zonder beschadigingen dan moet je ergens anders een bak gaan kopen.

組み立てにコツがいることや、家庭菜園初心者としては、思った以上に土をいれなければならないことに驚きました。 1年ほどでナットが錆び始めているため、作成時に錆止め剤を塗布するとよいかと思います。 しかし、育った野菜を娘とともに収穫して、食べる時間を含めて、とても満足しています。

Easy to construct and quality workmanship overall.

Much stronger than other two I bought elsewhere.
