Setup and Assembly

Follow these steps to assemble your Outsunny Raised Garden Bed. It is recommended to have two people for assembly.

1. Unpack and Identify Components

Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Lay them out and compare with the parts list provided in your package to ensure all components are present and undamaged.

2. Assemble the Main Frame

Begin by attaching the side panels to the legs. Pay close attention to the orientation of the legs and panels to ensure screw holes align correctly. Some legs may have specific holes for longer side panels; ensure these are correctly positioned before tightening.

3. Install the Bottom Shelf

Attach the bottom shelf slats to the designated supports on the legs. Ensure they are evenly spaced and securely fastened.

The bottom shelf provides convenient storage for gardening tools and supplies.

4. Attach Wheels

Secure the four universal wheels to the bottom of the legs. Two of these wheels are equipped with brakes. Ensure the brakes are functional and can lock the planter in place.

The universal wheels allow for easy mobility, with two wheels featuring brakes for stability.

5. Install the Non-Woven Liner and Grow Grids

Place the non-woven fabric liner inside the main planting box. This liner prevents soil from falling through and protects the wood. Insert the grow grids into the planter if you wish to create separate compartments for different plants.

The non-woven fabric liner and drainage holes ensure proper water management.

6. Attach Folding Side Table

Mount the folding side table to the designated side of the planter using the provided hardware. Ensure it can fold up and down smoothly and securely.

The folding side table provides a convenient surface for potting or holding tools.

Operating Instructions

1. Filling the Planter

Once assembled, fill the planter with appropriate potting soil. If using the grow grids, fill each compartment individually. The total capacity is approximately 25.4 gallons.

The 8 grow grids allow for organized planting of various herbs, flowers, or vegetables.

2. Planting

Plant your desired vegetables, flowers, or herbs. The grow grids help separate plants and prevent excessive growth competition. If you prefer a single large planting area, the grids can be removed.

Choose between individual compartments or a single open planter by using or removing the grow grids.

3. Watering and Drainage

Water your plants as needed. The integrated drainage holes at the bottom of the planter, along with the non-woven liner, facilitate proper water drainage, preventing root rot and mineral buildup.

Proper drainage is essential for healthy plant growth.

4. Mobility

To move the garden bed, unlock the brakes on the two braked wheels. Carefully push or pull the planter to its new location. Once positioned, engage the wheel brakes to secure the planter.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will help prolong the life of your raised garden bed.

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the wooden surfaces with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the wood finish.
• Wood Protection: To protect the wood from weathering and extend its lifespan, consider applying a weather-resistant sealant or stain annually, especially if exposed to harsh outdoor elements. During winter months, covering the planter with a tarp can offer additional protection.
• Drainage Check: Ensure the drainage holes remain clear of debris to prevent waterlogging. The non-woven liner should also be checked for tears or blockages.
• Hardware Inspection: Regularly check all screws and fasteners for tightness. Tighten any loose hardware to maintain structural integrity.
• Wheel Functionality: Inspect the wheels and brakes to ensure they are functioning correctly. Clean any dirt or debris from the wheel mechanisms.

Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

• Problem: Water is not draining properly.
  Solution: Check the drainage holes at the bottom of the planter to ensure they are not clogged with soil or debris. Inspect the non-woven liner for any blockages or improper placement.
• Problem: The garden bed feels unstable or wobbly.
  Solution: Verify that all assembly screws are securely tightened. Ensure the planter is placed on a level surface. If wheels are present, confirm that the brakes are engaged when the planter is stationary.
• Problem: Difficulty moving the planter.
  Solution: Ensure the wheel brakes are disengaged. Check for any obstructions around the wheels. If the planter is very heavy due to soil and plants, consider emptying some contents before moving, or seek assistance.
• Problem: Wood appears damaged or cracked.
  Solution: For minor cracks, wood glue and clamps may provide a temporary fix. For significant structural damage, contact Outsunny customer support for assistance or replacement parts.
