Octagonal Raised Bed 1.65 x 0.45m

Really good experience with an excellent product which went together quickly. The blocks fitted together very neatly which we were really pleased with. Would be useful if following was available online as I can't be the first person to ask (!): If on patio what goes on bottom (was advised to use pond liner/plastic - would be great to pay extra for this), give the measurements of all outside lengths (not just diameter) so would be easy to work out volume of soil required, next to each bed option list the approx amount of soil required. Tip: definitely buy the lump hammer (rather than use your standard diy hammer) and absolutely buy the dowel cutter. Wow so much easier. Thanks a lot (Wanted to buy circular bed but only two sizes were 1m/2.5m diameter. Wanted approx 1.5m - so many versions of hexagonal/octagonal available but only two circular... More choice would have been ideal).

Excellent product; went together really well

Ordered online. Telephoned to find out am/pm delivery-arranged for a pm delivery. However the carrier arrived at 11am just as I arrived home. He was trying to telephone the house and obviously there was no one at home. Asked why he did not use the mobile he said he was not given the number. On the plus side the driver was very polite and helpful. However communication needs to be improved.

Good product easily assembled. I coated the outside with 4 coats of Cuprinol Forrest Green preservative and lined the inside with roofing felt to separate the soil from the timber. Hopefully this should improve the durability.

Overall pleased

Overall I am pleased with the product, however I had to adjust some of the blocks as they were either incorrect in length or the recess was not drilled. Considering the cost of the product I expected more attention to detail.
