Once assembled, your vidaXL Raised Bed is ready for use:

• Placement: Position the raised bed in your desired outdoor location, such as a garden, patio, or balcony. Ensure the surface is level and stable.

• Inspection: Periodically check all connections to ensure they remain secure, especially after moving the raised bed.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues, consider the following:

• Instability: Ensure all panels and posts are fully engaged and clicked into their respective slots. Verify the raised bed is placed on a flat, level surface.
• Poor Drainage: Check that the perforated base panels are clear of debris and not blocked by compacted soil. If necessary, gently loosen the soil around the drainage holes.
• Missing Parts: If any parts are missing upon unpacking, please contact vidaXL customer support.
