I researched our options for a raised bed planter for our back yard and decided on the Edge Right 4' x 4' planter that was 14" tall. We used the planter for a Whale Togue agave plant and accented the installation with white marble chip rocks in the planter. As we have aggressive Bermuda grass that can spread quickly and make it's way under most steel tree rings in a season or two, we decided to install a 9" edge border around the Edge Right raised bed. To greatly reduce the ability for the Bermuda grass to make its way into the raised bed, we added a concrete base (about 1.5") in the edging around the raised bed and finished it off with pea rock to give contrast to the white rock used in the raised bed. The Edge Right raised bed was very easy to install and the hardest part was removing the grass out completely. I used a string line to make sure the raised bed was perfectly squared with the building and then used a 4' level to ensure the steel panels were perfectly level to the ground. It took about 30 minutes to position and hammer the panels into the ground. The provided corner connectors made installation a snap and pretty much squared the planter, requiring very little adjustments to align everything up. I used a large carpenter square to make sure the corners were all at 90 degrees before hammering the panels in place. Overall, the project took several days from start to finish and most of that time was to allow the grass killer to work. Here's some pictures of the project's progress and end results. Once the steel panels develop the "rusted" look, it'll add a nice touch to our backyard.

Agave centerpiece in 4x4 Cor-Ten raised bed
Phil transformed his backyard with a 48 x 48 inch, 14 inch tall Edge Right raised bed in 16 gauge weathering steel. He planted a Whale Togue agave, filled the bed with white marble chips, and added a 9 inch steel border on a 1.5 inch concrete base with pea gravel to block invasive Bermuda grass. Installation was quick using the supplied corner connectors and basic leveling tools, and the patina will enrich the look over time.
