Customer Reviews for Greenes Fence 4 ft. x 8 ft. x 10.5 in. Original Cedar Raised Garden Bed

Easy to build, best for beginner gardeners or those that just want to add two 4’x4’ spaces for planting. I added herbs in the 5” area and tomatoes in the 10.5” area. Looks very nice in my backyard. Good quality wood, will definitely add more sections in the near future.

Easy to assemble. Looks nice. Just the right space for a few garden vegetables

The slats and grooves were not always an exact match, but with a little effort they fit. We painted it for more protection from the weather. We also bought other sizes.

Great size, ridiculously easy to put together and pretty. We used it for an herb garden next to the back patio.

Went together pretty easily.. Must keep boards straight in slot, some wiggling and tapping with mallet necessary. Looks good, will have to see how well it holds up as slats on not very thick. Worth the price.

Very nice design for the money. I had bought the 4x8 and it was nice. I decided to "add" on and get this unit. Great value for the $$ and goes together very easy.

Easy setup. Be sure to prep plot by leveling and cover ground with weed mat. Very attractive in the yard and the two kits allow for a wide variety of herbs and vegetables to be planted.

Perfect for a small yard. Will add to it next summer.

Rough-hewn boards was an understatement. Very rough boards with knotholes and bark. Several boards were warped. Had to use a dremel to shave off some of the edges so the boards would fit in the uprights. For the price it was ok, but definitely wouldn't buy again.

This garden was easy to assemble. I have planted veggies and it performs as intended. I wish it came with netting or mesh fencing. I added netting to protect plants from birds and animals. Satisfied with its performance so far.

Arrived quickly. It was very easy to assemble (I am a 60+ female). I did not have any of the problems described in the reviews - no splits or breaks in the wood. Boards did not bulge out when filled with dirt. Everything was exactly as described. Good value for the low price. As you can see in my photo, I have not placed the top caps yet.

I bought my raised bed garden two weeks ago. It is the perfect size for my patio. It took 10 (1.5 cu. ft.) bags of MG soil for raised bed garden. The depth of the box is a necessity when you don't have enough acidity in your dirt. It was easy to install and no tools necessary.

The Raised bed is beyond beautiful and it will hold and help grow lots of food for my family. It smells fantastic and it is actually bigger than I expected without ever measuring. One issue I did have with the bed was assembly. While easy enough to follow directions the boards were decently hard to place into the corner slots and a hammer had to be used to “muscle” it down. This caused one of the corners to break (my fault and we were still able to use the corner). Just a real life issue I had in the assembly dept. Overall, a well built, beautiful raised bed. 30ish minutes for one person to put together. I would recommend this to another person. (It is on a slight slant down of land, not actually as funny looking in person as in the picture)

Super easy to put together and looks great! Great value for the product. Would buy again.

I love this garden bed kit. Very easy to put together. I didn’t even need my husbands help! Happy customer!

Lightweight to carry, easyassmeply and meaterals seem well carfted.

Easy to assemble. Have not filled with dirt yet but this raised bed kit seems sturdy. My only concern is I would have hoped the sides were one wide plank (or at most two). It is three narrow planks for the walls. My concern is the dirt when wet will run and stain dirt on the outside between the cracks of the bed after some time of use and get ugly. I put the caps on the bottom since the ground was not perfectly even which helped keep the side boards straight and from dropping below the posts. See photo. I would recommend to Greenes to provide caps for bottom and top. Other than that I really like it so far.

Was disappointed with this it was easy to assemble, but very unstable . We ended up using the 3 sections for garden beds, got 3 out of it, which was fine.

I purchased this from the Home Depot store, which I'm glad I did instead of being lazy and ordering it online...lol, it was packaged well, not damaged and none of the pieces were broken and everything fit well together, the staff was very friendly and helpful, and helped me pick out landscape fabric, bigger than what I expected it to be but I'm very happy with it, can't wait to plant my vegetables and watch them grow.

Really easy to assemble and the new garden looks great.

Easy to assemble.

Product was easy to put together and the size was perfect!

Very easy to assemble. My wife loves her new garden.

Super easy to put together my 10 year old did it. The hardest part is choosing a set up design. I placed mine in a corner and stacked one at an angel on top. Everyone loves it.

I am a 69-year-old single lady living in the desert and wanted a vegetable garden, this was perfect. It was very easy for me to put together by myself. I am considering another one as well. I really like it!!

The raised bed arrived ready to assemble with all parts intact. These are not heavy duty beds, but rather attractive designs for things like kitchen herb and flower gardens. The "cedar" they are made from is more lightweight than what I generally see here in the Pacific northwest. Nonetheless, the bed was easy to assemble with only one bowed sideboard that made it hard to square up. I like the dovetail joints and post caps. I used exterior wood glue on the joints during assembly and stained the wood before use to give it a little more durability.

Love them! So easy to set up. Looks great too.

It was so easy to assemble with my kids (8 year old and 13 year old). Perfect size for our vegetable garden and reasonably priced.

Right out of the box two of the corner pieces were already split and two of the long pieces were warped and split.

I recommend this product with the following caveat. I went in knowing that for the price I paid I was not going to get a long lasting quality product. The wood is very thin. I was able to put it together quickly. I did do a wood stain 3 days prior to installation. It definitely is doing the job that I purchased it for. I feel it will last at least two growing seasons if not more. Time will tell. I am happy with the purchase. Instead of building the side walls 3 planks high I only did two planks high in the front row and added 1 plank high on second row to extend my garden area. My ground slopes toward the front of picture. What I did was dig out the existing grass cover/weeds and dug out about 6 inches deep. I then backfilled will a combination of topsoil and existing soil. i live in Florida so I have an existing sandy base so good drainage. You will want to enlarge photo to see more detail.
