Best Choice Products 4x2x1ft Outdoor Raised Metal Oval Garden Bed, Planter Box for Vegetables, Flowers - Dark Green

These garden bed kits come with six curved sections and four straight sections, along with the required hardware and a rubber protective strip for the top edge. I bought two units of these in order to make a 6'x2'x1' herb bed. (That left a 2'x1' circle bed, which will probably find a good home later.) The metal sides get their strength from being corrugated, but are not real thick/rigid so I added a cross brace in the middle, connected to a wing nut on each side to keep my longer-than-designed sides from bowing out when the bed is filled with soil. The semi-gloss finish on the metal looks good and the charcoal color is attractive. Assembly is a bit tedious -- joining the sections by putting machine screws through each hole and securing them with a washer and wingnut (plenty of all parts were supplied). And, it takes a little tweaking to get the screw heads to center on the holes when tightened, though most normal people wouldn't be bothered by a slightly crooked screw (see the photos showing straight and crooked screws). Also, the top row of wingnuts is visible above the surface of the soil -- not ideal, but unavoidable. Acorn nuts would look better and would be easier to work around when planting. And, the rubber trim strip that fits over the top edge is pretty thin and very flexible, so it gets distorted passing over the double thickness where each of the side sections overlap. A heavier weight, split round designed trim would look better, be more likely to stay in place, and probably hold up longer. So, although not perfect, they were on sale at an amazing price, making them definitely a five-star bargain that should serve their purpose well for a long time.
