Bit the bullet and purchased 2 raised beds. I am so excited to start the journey of rooftop gardening after 30 years of backyard in the ground bending. I will definitely weatherize the wood to ensure it’ll be standing after next winter. The planter is easy to assemble . I’m go-in to use one of the planters for a variety of leafy greens and some herbs. The other planter will hold a variety of veggies . I’m know that these planters will look wonderful and provide exactly the space I need to feed the family. Thanks also for the great customer service.
