Got my box and the weather was warm enough to assemble the 17 inch bed. But the wind picked up and l was a bit hesitate to assemble the while unit. We have had very strong winds lately and did not want to tempt the fates! The hardest part was removing the plastic film. The assembly was a breeze! Cannot wait to finish installation add compost and dirt. It was 70 degrees in Northern Missouri yesterday for Christmas eve and l was thumbing through seed catalogs. So many plans....might need to order another 17 incher soon.
