FAQs
1. How can I adjust the height of the planter if it’s not level?
Check the surface where the planter is placed. If the ground is uneven, consider adding small levelers under the legs or adjusting the soil inside to achieve balance.
2. What should I do if the bolts are difficult to tighten?
Ensure the bolts are properly aligned before tightening. If the bolts are still difficult to tighten, apply light pressure with the Allen Key, ensuring they fit into place before fully tightening.
3. Can I move the raised garden bed after assembly?
Yes, but it’s recommended to lift it carefully by the base, avoiding dragging it, which could cause the frame to become misaligned or damage the surface.
