What happens here

For longer raised beds, install the included support rods across the width of the bed. These rods are bolted into designated holes on the inner side of the panels to prevent the filled bed from bowing outwards due to soil pressure. After the rods are secure, apply the flexible rubber edge trim along the entire top rim of the raised bed. This trim provides a clean finish and protects against sharp edges.

Goal: Add structural reinforcement and a safe, aesthetic finish to the beds.
