Constructed from 0.9mm textured galvanized steel, the beds resist rust and bending while the open-bottom design encourages natural drainage and root extension into the ground beneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow quickly can I assemble a pair of these raised beds?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAssembly is straightforward and mostly manual: the included wing nuts secure panels together so no extra tools or adhesives are required.
