Gardzen PVC Frame for Raised Garden Bed

Background: Now I did not for one minute expect a high quality item for the price I paid, I just wanted something for one season until I can get an in ground garden rolling. For now this will work.The skinny: This thing came vacuum packed so I had no idea it was as great as it was until u opened it. The fabric is so thick and of such high quality, the stitching is not going anywhere, and the areas that accept pipe fit a 1" PVC pipe with ease. We are still cold, but not much longer, I can not wait to put them to the test. They will most likely last several growing seasons.Honestly, I have had several big brands and this one smokes them all. If I could give it 6 stars I honestly would.

I really like this planter. My yard gets lots of sun and I needed a easy way to shade the plants, especially when they are just sprouts. They can get burned from too much direct sun. This solved that problem. And it's big enough for a few plants. I've got tomatoes, lettuce, basil and one or 2 other small things and they are all doing great!

Just didn’t fit my space

I bought it without the frame, thinking it was an optional accessory. It was not. It drooped and did not hold shape. I gave it 1 star. Then I added the frame several weeks later, after filling it with dirt and plants. It was still easy to add it and solved the sagging and drooping instantly. Changing my review because it looks and works great now.

It nice once you get it together. If the tubing doesn't go into the fittings all the way and doesn't get seated like mine you have a very difficult time getting all the sides to square up. I had to pound them in with a rubber mallet. You actually need two sets of hands to assemble. Don't believe the video with the girl, they must have had all the fittings perfect and preassembled.

It's a great living soil bed it's just the right size my plants are loving it I will definitely purchase another one when available

I assembled these with 1/2” PVC pipe that I bought from Home Depot and I also bought some cedar fence siding that will prevent it from bulging and its a great upgrade. The fence siding was just a little over $2 for a 6’ stick of it and I used 7 of them. I still plan to put PVC in the top of the 4-way elbow to use it for support for tomatoes and climbing plants. You will have to use the PVC glue or drill a hole in the PVC elbow and use a small stainless steel screw to keep the elbows from letting loose. Also, make sure you drill some holes in the bottom of the PVC so that the water will drain and it won’t freeze and crack. I will send a pic of when I put the other PVC and some plants. Other than that, I have about a total of $50 in one and also, I put in 4 -50 quart bags of raised bed potting soil. Costco has a sale on it for around $7.

This was easy to assemble in just a few minutes. The pipe however is not normal PVC, it's some very thin stuff. Which, if all you suspend with it is a very light nettings, you will be fine and five stars for that purpose. However, if you want to try and use it to hang grow lights, not so much. They work, but wow! Do they bow like crazy. I did glue them, so I don't think they will ever come apart and drop the lights, but it's really not made for this.

Arrived after 12 days, just as advertised. Would strongly recommend adding 3 levels of pvc to the frame if bowing out is a concern

Seller shipped items very quickly. They arrived sooner than expected. Exactly as described. Excellent price for an excellent product!
