Raised Bed Assembly
1. Choose a level area for your raised bed. If you are installing it on
a lawn, we recommend removing the sod and loosening the soil
with a shovel or spade to a depth of ".
2. Place the BOARDS on their sides to form a rectangular bed as
shown in Figure . Seat the ends of the BOARDS into the four
ALUMINUM CORNERS and assemble the long sides of the bed by
inserting the BOARDS into the IN-LINE CONNECTORS (Figure ).
Make sure the BOARDS are fully seated and level with the bottom
of the CORNERS and CONNECTORS.
3. Use your screw gun to insert SCREWS into the holes in the
CORNERS and CONNECTORS. Make adjustments as you work
your way around the bed to be sure the BOARDS are fully seated
and level with the CORNERS.
4. Install the CORNER INSERTS into the tops of the ALUMINUM
CORNERS and IN-LINE CONNECTORS (Figure ). NOTE: Gently tap
them into place with rubber mallet if necessary.
5. Fill the raised bed with a mixture of garden soil and plenty of
organic matter, such as compost. It holds  quarts ( cubic
feet) of soil.

Crop Cage Assembly
Important: When assembling the frame, make sure to fully seat each TUBE
into the CONNECTORS and CORNERS. The COVER will fit snugly when all
parts are fully seated.
1. Identify and organize all parts before beginning assembly. NOTE:
CORNERS, CONNECTORS and TUBES are marked with letters or numbers
to make assembly easier.
2. Connect the SHORT TUBES  with springs to the SHORT TUBES . NOTE:
The end with the spring will be inside SHORT TUBE .
3. Insert six LONG TUBES  into the CORNER INSERTS on the raised bed
(Figures  & ).
4. Place the four -WAY T-CONNECTORS A and the two -WAY CORNER
CONNECTORS E on top of the Long Tubes , positioning them as
shown in Figure . Insert four assembled - TUBES into the CONNECTORS.
5. Insert the remaining LONG TUBES  into the empty sockets on the A and E
CONNECTORS (Figure ).
6. Place the remaining -WAY CORNERS D and -WAY CONNECTORS E on
the tops of the LONG TUBES  as shown in Figure . Then insert the
remaining - TUBES to complete the frame.
7. Place the NET COVER over the assembled frame. NOTE: Line up the doors
in the COVER with the open sections of the frame. Tips: Unzip one side
to make it easier to slip the NET COVER over the frame. The NET COVER
can be installed by one person, but it's easier with two people. Align the
side seams with the upright tubes and the top seams with the top of the
frame. Secure the COVER by tying the ties to the frame, right above each
CORNER of the raised bed (Figure ).
8. Position the NET COVER over the outside of the raised bed. Place the
EARTH STAPLES through the COVER, around the outside edge of the
raised bed, to secure it to the ground.
To keep a door open, unzip and roll the door upward. Use the ribbons at the top of the door to secure it.
Remove the NET COVER before expected snow or ice accumulation. The NET COVER is not designed for use in winter conditions.
