MEDEHOO Raised Garden Bed Elevated Wood Planter Box Stand Outdoor Garden Kit for Herb with Large Storage Shelf

No, this model does not come with pre-drilled drainage holes. If you are planting directly into the box, you may want to drill a few holes in the bottom to prevent water from pooling and causing root rot.

The planter is crafted from natural fir wood, but it is not explicitly weather-resistant. To extend the life of the wood and prevent warping or decay, we recommend applying a food-safe wood sealant or outdoor stain before your first planting.

Yes, the grow grid is removable. This gives you the flexibility to use the entire planting area for larger plants like tomatoes or peppers, rather than being restricted to the eight smaller sections.

The planting area is quite spacious, measuring 52.7 inches in length. You should plan to purchase approximately 3 to 4 cubic feet of potting mix to fill the bed to an appropriate depth for most herbs and vegetables.

The side shelf is designed for convenience and light tasks, such as holding small hand tools, seed packets, or a watering can. It is not intended to support heavy equipment or large bags of soil.

The assembly is straightforward and designed for a quick setup. While one person can manage it, having a second person to help hold the larger panels in place during the initial steps will make the process much smoother.
