- Does it have a bottom?
- No. The base is open, so it sits on soil and drains freely. That also lets roots reach the ground and lets you layer compost underneath.
- How much soil does it take to fill?
- About 478 gallons, roughly 64 cubic feet. Filling the full 2-foot depth is costly, so many owners fill the lower half with logs, leaves and yard waste first.
- Can it be used indoors?
- It is built for outdoor use. Indoors it would need a drainage plan and strong floor support for the soil weight.
- Is it better than a wooden raised bed?
- It will not rot or attract termites like wood, and it assembles faster. Wood is softer on the hands and easier to cut to size.
- Do I need tools to assemble it?
- No tools are needed for the panels. Gloves help, since the steel edges can be sharp.
- Will it rust?
- The powder coating resists rust, and most owners report no problems. A few see rust at scratches or seams after a couple of seasons.
