Assembly Overview
Follow the illustrated steps when assembling your Outsunny 3-Tier Vertical Raised Garden Planter.
Below is a clear step-by-step summary for easy understanding.
Step 1: Assemble the Side Frame Base
- Take two Side Upright Bars (A) and place them on a flat surface in the same orientation shown in the image.
- Make sure the spring clasp button on each Upright Bar (A) is facing inward, toward the center of the frame.
- Position one Cross-Support Rail (F) between the bottom ends of the two Upright Bars (A).
- Align the bolt holes on the Upright Bars with the holes on the Cross-Support Rail.
- Insert 40 mm Bolts (①) through the aligned holes on both sides.
- Tighten the bolts using the Allen Key (④) until secure, but do not overtighten.
- Confirm the assembly forms a stable U-shaped frame and both uprights are evenly aligned.
Step 2: Assemble the Second Side Frame
- Take the remaining two Side Upright Bars (A) and place them on a flat surface.
- Ensure the spring clasp button on each Upright Bar (A) is facing inward, matching the orientation used in Step 1.
- Position the remaining Cross-Support Rail (F) between the bottom ends of the Upright Bars (A).
- Align the holes on the Upright Bars with the holes on the Cross-Support Rail.
- Insert 40 mm Bolts (①) through the aligned holes on both sides.
- Tighten the bolts using the Allen Key (④) until secure, without overtightening.
- Confirm the second frame matches the first one in shape, size, and orientation.
Step 3: Connect the Side Frames and Install the Planter Support Racks
- Place the two assembled side frames from Steps 1 and 2 upright and facing each other.
- Position the Arched Brace Frames (B) at the top, connecting the two side frames together.
- Ensure the side of Part B with the bolt hole is facing inward, as shown in the diagram. This orientation is critical for proper assembly.
- Align the holes on the side frames with the holes on the Arched Brace Frames (B).
- Insert 30 mm Bolts (②) into the upper connection points and tighten using the Allen Key (④).
- Position the Planter Support Racks (G) between the side frames at the indicated locations.
- Secure each rack using 20 mm Bolts (③) through the rack ends into the side frame holes.
- Tighten all bolts evenly, ensuring the racks are level and the overall structure remains aligned.
Step 4: Secure the Planter Support Racks
- Starting from the bottom level, position the Planter Support Racks (G) between the side frames as shown.
- Align the rack ends with the pre-drilled holes on the Side Upright Bars (A).
- Insert the required bolts into the holes but do not tighten fully at first.
- Continue installing the remaining racks from bottom to top, keeping each rack level.
- Once all racks are in place and properly aligned, tighten all bolts firmly using the Allen Key (④).
- Check that each rack is secure and does not tilt or shift.
Step 5: Attach the Top Reinforcement Brackets
- Position the Top Reinforcement Brackets (H) onto the Arched Brace Frames (B) at the top of the structure.
- Align the holes on the brackets with the holes on the arched frames.
- Insert 20 mm Bolts (③) through the aligned holes.
- Tighten the bolts using the Allen Key (④) until the brackets are secure.
- Confirm that both brackets are evenly installed and the top of the frame feels rigid.
Step 6: Place the Plastic Planter Boxes
- Take the Plastic Planter Boxes (J) and place them onto the installed Planter Support Racks (G).
- Ensure each planter box sits fully and evenly within the support rack.
- Check that the drainage holes at the bottom of each planter box are facing outward, not inward.
- This outward orientation allows water to flow down properly to the lower levels.
- Adjust the planter boxes as needed so they are level and stable before use.
Final Step : Assembly Complete
- Fully tighten all bolts across the frame.
- Check that the planter stands stable and level.
- Ensure all planter boxes are seated properly.
- Confirm there is no wobbling before adding soil and plants.
Usage Tips
- Use lighter soil mixes to reduce total weight.
- Place taller plants on lower tiers to prevent shading.
- Water slowly to allow proper drainage between tiers.
- Rotate the planter occasionally for even sunlight exposure.
- Anchor the planter if placed in windy locations.
Maintenance & Care
- Inspect all bolts regularly and retighten if needed.
- Clean planter boxes with mild soap and water only.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners or metal brushes.
- Empty soil before relocating the planter.
- Store planter boxes indoors during extreme winter conditions to extend lifespan.

FAQs
1. How do I keep the planter frame square while tightening bolts?
Assemble all parts loosely first. Once everything is aligned, tighten bolts gradually and evenly from bottom to top to maintain a square frame.
2. What should I do if a tier rack does not align properly?
Loosen nearby bolts slightly, adjust the rack position, and then retighten. This usually resolves alignment issues without forcing parts.
3. Can I use a power drill for faster assembly?
Hand tools are recommended. If using a power drill, set it to low torque to avoid overtightening or stripping threads.
4. How much weight can each planter box hold?
Do not exceed the recommended soil and plant weight. Even distribution across all tiers helps maintain stability.
