They are the perfect height if you have trouble bending over. You could sit in a chair to garden in these planters. The planters are of solid, thick, good wood. It takes about 40 minutes to assemble with the included screws and wing nuts. I recommend having two people assemble each planter. The planters come to a "v" shape in the bottom. There is a watering system you can purchase separately that we got for the newest planters. You add water to a small container above the planter to run through an irrigation set up you place in the bottom of the planter. An indicator lets you know when you need more water. Review: Best Veggie Garden Yet! - I ordered this small Vegtrug because we don't have any optimal location in our yard for a garden. It was easy to remove all the parts from the box. The instructions were helpful, although if you've ever put any furniture together from a box, this was very intuitive. Screw holes are pre-drilled. A LOT of screws to put this together so make sure your cordless drill is charged up. I would not purchase this if you are attempting to put together with just a screwdriver. Must have drill. If possible, put the Vegtrug together in the location you will want it. I preferred to do mine out of the sun on my porch, but it's a little bulky/heavy to move around alone (although I did it). Must place it where you want it before you put the soil in, otherwise it is WAY to heavy to move. I also bought 4 wheels from home depot, took the plastic feet off, drilled a few holes and screwed in wheels. It took 10 minutes and about $20 in wheels. If you decide to add wheels (which I highly recommend, don't skimp on the wheels, as once this trug is filled with soil it is VERY heavy and needs a strong good quality wheel. I have the Vegtrug on my stone patio and the wheels help move it around to the best sun exposure for all sides. I have cherry tomato plants and bell pepper plants. They have all done so well they are overcrowding each other and I need to order another one to transplant some! I also intend to get a winter cover to plant lettuce for the Fall. This Vegtrug has done better then large pots and other raised planting bed items I have used, I think because the depth allows for really good root spreading. UPDATE: July 2019 I purchased a second VegTrug and these are AMAZING veggie planters. With the wheels that I added (Home Depot) these can be rolled around to follow the sun. I highly recommend it. This year EVERYTHING I planted - cherry tomatoes, peppers, lettuce and basil all have grown so well, I have decided to continue buying these and chart the costs for a year of growing my own vegetables from seeds versus purchasing from the store and will report the value. In the meantime, there is no chance that any veggie I buy conventional, organic, local or otherwise has beaten fresh picked from my back yard and these vegtrugs make it so easy. The small animals can't get into the my garden and I don't need to bend down at all to tend to them. However, I will say the birds have come by to get a peck at my black cherry tomatoes this year! But there are enough to share :-) ## Features - Ergonomic Raised Bed PLanter: Elevated 31.5” height reduces bending and strain, making planting, watering, and harvesting more comfortable and accessible, also offering protection from common ground pests. - Durable Cedar Construction: Made from high-quality natural cedar with a protective water-based finish and plastic feet for enhanced stability and long-lasting outdoor use. - Signature V-Shaped Design: Holds up to 445 qt (420L) of soil to supports both shallow and deep-rooted plants, ideal for growing vegetables, herbs, and greens. - Enhanced Drainage & Root Health: Includes a breathable liner that promotes proper drainage and aeration for stronger roots and healthier growth. - Space-Saving Garden Solution: Perfect for patios, balconies, and small outdoor spaces, with overall dimensions of 29.9” L x 72.2” W x 31.5” H. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00IQ6ZGX6 | | Best Sellers Rank | #119,909 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #1,721 in Planters | | Brand Name | VegTrug | | Capacity | 445 quarts | | Color | Natural | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,311 Reviews | | Finish Types | Unfinished | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00855374006345, 05061108312995 | | Included Components | 1 x Vegtrug Medium | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Outdoor | | Item Dimensions | 29.9 x 72.2 x 31.5 inches | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 29.9"D x 72.2"W x 31.5"H | | Item Type Name | 1.8m Raised Planter | | Item Weight | 60 pounds | | Manufacturer | VegTrug | | Manufacturer Part Number | VTNMD 0367 USA | | Material | Cedar Wood | | Material Type | Cedar Wood | | Model Number | VTNMD 0367 USA | | Mounting Type | Floor Standing | | Number of Levels | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Breathable, Drainage Hole, Weather Resistant | | Pattern | Solid | | Plant or Animal Product Type | Vegetable | | Planter Form | Raised Bed | | Product Style | Classic | | Shape | Rectangular | | Size | Medium 1.8m | | Special Feature | Breathable, Drainage Hole, Weather Resistant | | Style | Classic | | Theme | Garden | | UPC | 855374006345 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Material:** Cedar Wood - **Color:** Natural - **Special Feature:** Breathable, Drainage Hole, Weather Resistant - **Style:** Raised Bed - **Planter Form:** Box ## Images ![Raised Bed Classic Medium 1.8m, Natural - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/716UbvxdG5L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great 1,8 meter Raised Bed VegTrug Planter *by J***N on March 23, 2026* We bought two of these planters three years ago and two more this spring.

There were a few reviews indicating some issues with pieces of wood, but I took my chances in hopes any problem could be fixed by the mister; if he could not I absolutely would pack/tape it up as best I could, request a free Prime Return due to it being broken and defective, and select UPS to pick it up for free. For almost a hundy cheaper than any other sites AND free shipping/returns it was worth a chance. But mine arrived in perfect shape. I watched an assembly video first so it was incredibly easy to put together and went together quick with two of us and a power tool. It's not as yellow as I thought it would be from the pictures, it smells great and feels sturdy once all together and tightened. I ordered a wood frame cold cover, as well as a couple other lighter covers from another site because they were not available here. As soon as the cold cover comes I'm getting these babies going! It's gorgeous and I love it, no regrets! ## Frequently Bought Together - VegTrug Raised Bed Planter, Outdoor Herb Planter, 1.8m, Natural - VegTrug Classic Greenhouse Frame and Multi-Cover Set, Compatible with Medium Classic VegTrug Planter, 28" x 70.7" x 35.4", White - VegTrug Classic Self Watering Kit Medium 1.8m, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/26068490-raised-bed-classic-medium-1-8m-natural](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/26068490-raised-bed-classic-medium-1-8m-natural) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-11-11*
