Very nice bed. I dont know why people were complaining about the directions. They're not even needed. Its very simple to assemble.The 6x3 bed holds exactly 27 cu ft = 200 gallons of soil. Great productUpdated 30 April 2022:Two years later and I'm still using this fabric raised bed.I initially had it set up in a sunny, south-facing corner of my backyard, but have since installed a small greenhouse in that area. The photo you see is the raised bed now sitting on my janky, jacked up concrete patio. The photo is from November of this year - so two years to the month of purchase.The pros:Easy to assembleportabledurableThe cons:The pvc corner connections come loose due to the settling of the soilI *STILL* have not heard back from the seller about the trellis kit option.This fabric raised bed has been worth its weight in gold. Back in February 2021, we experienced the Great Texas Freeze - 99% of the state was frozen and without power for an entire week. But this raised bed saved us.Right before the freeze, I went outside and covered it with three layers of frost proof blanket. On day two of the freeze - when I was finally able to get outside after throwing salt on my back stairs to get outside, I went over to the bed, pulled back the covers and my veggies were in pristine condition.I had broccoli, cauliflower, potatoes, spinach, swiss chard and onions. I then went to my garage and dug around in my freezer and found some old frozen chicken backs - and while without power - I did have gas cooking, so using my burner eyes, I made huge pots of homemade soup.In fact, I made so much that I was able to share with my neighbors who - hadn't had a hot meal in two days but also who did not have the foresight to have an "alternate food source."It also helped weeks after the freeze because once the power was restored and the grocery store re-opened, the shelves were completely bare. Folks were wandering around in the grocery store looking dazed and hungry.Covid-19 and climate change should be an eye opener to having alternate food/water sources and growing your own veg could literally one day, save your life. Supply chain issues, food recalls and higher prices due to harsh weather conditions makes it a necessity now to grow your own.As for the amount of soil needed - I would approximate 15-16 bags of 2 cubic feet of soil/12-14 bags of 4 cubic feet of soil. And while this could get pricey, if you grow from seed, the harvest of produce should make up for the cost of the dirt. For a few dollars of seed, you can get lots of produce to feed your family and know exactly where it comes from.As a certified Texas Master Gardener, I would also suggest that you get a composter (purchased here, FCMP half-sized 19 gal, rolling composter) - I have two. And get with your city to see if they offer rain barrels for water capture.The composter can ensure healthy source of fertilizer (organic growing) and the rain barrel can provide the water source you need to keep the plants alive.So while the connections are iffy - this due to soil settlement - I would purchase this item again. I did not glue the pvc corner connectors so that if I wanted/needed to move it, I could.I would recommend this raised bed and am considering purchasing another for backup._____________________________Original review November 20, 2020Just unboxed.Fabric bed was in box.Fittings were in box.Instructions say that screws are included, but none found. Perhaps screws are needed for optional trellis kit?Also, no information included in instructions on approximate amount of soil needed to fill bed. This information would be helpful.Incidentally, I submitted question on how to purchase trellis kit but no response from seller.Will come back and edit review/rating once all setup and receive an answer from seller about purchase of trellis kit.I had concerns, but will be converting ethg to these raised beds. Both inside and out! The whole organic and living soil gardening isn't the "phase" that I thought it would, rather it's been a welcome life change moreso than a "hobby" or "way to do it". It's a good thing all the way around because the soil, garden food, mind, and body all are beneficiaries! Thanks for an excellent product and for the extra added life change that I needed at 50!Some assembly and extra purchases required. You need the PVC to complete the setup that you can find at a home improvement store. I use these for my no till gardening. They're very durable. Setup is a little difficult. This is one of the best options for a large fabric raised bed.Very cheap and will not stay together if ground is at all uneven. With a little pipe glue i can prob solve it but didn't really buy it for that. Just didn't bother with the top. Water system is not good either. Connections aren't good. Didn't even bother trying to set it upMy tomatoes are Incredible this year! I am growing 7 tomato plants and 3 pepper plants in this thing. It takes a bit to put together and you will need a saw to cut the PVC to the correct length but it was pretty easy for hubby to do. Takes ALOT of dirt to fill it, but so far this season it is super durable. I would buy againAlthough it doesn’t come with the 1” pvc bars that are needed, they are super cheap at a local hardware store. It’s heavy duty yet a breathable material! I recommend this product! 4x4I love planting but can't bend down like I used to. This raised bed can easily be made higher by using cinder blocks and plywood sheeting. Easy to assemble but you have to purchase the PVC piping at the hardware store. No more rodents eating my root vegetables. I highly recommend this product.
