SIMPO 3-in-1 Garden System: Fabric Raised Garden Bed + Greenhouse Cover + Protective Net (36” x 72” x 53”)

his product is something I have been waiting for. In my area, we are not supposed to plant anything outside till Mother’s Day. Once planted, deer, rabbits, squirrels, and other critters will quickly get to work to destroy everything from the young leaves and stems to new fruits whenever they feel like stopping by for an uninvited visit. My wife and I were so frustrated and almost going to give up on planting vegetables in our backyard. Then I stumbled upon this and decided to give it a try. Assembly was really easy. Took the two of us 5 minutes maybe. The non-woven fabric is thick and strong. Looks like it can last. The raised bed is lined with a waterproof layer on the four sides to direct water down to the bottom rather than to the sidewalls. The bed is 18” deep and can hold a lot of soil. The metal cold frame is tightly fit together with the fabric bed and seems strong and sturdy. The greenhouse and netting covers are also made of strong materials. Switching between the greenhouse cover and the net cover is a breeze. Very easy to put up and take down. The door openings are also easy to roll up and down and zip up, and provide convenient access for watering, pruning and weeding. Since the bed is going to be very heavy once it’s filled with soil, the greenhouse and net covers should be able to withstand a good amount of wind and storm. I’m planning to place this garden bed on our back patio and it looks fabulous with the surroundings. I hope I will be able to plant things as early as March and grow well into November or even December. With this product, my plants should be well protected in the summer months as well with the protective net. I have high expectations now for my vegetable crop in the coming years. I will update next spring or summer with my vegetables in this raised bed.

Purchased this a few weeks ago. Very easy to assemble and seems to be very sturdy. I drug them all around my yard deciding where to place them. The weather cover works great, keeping temp nice and comfortable when we had a near frost event. But let me tell you about their customer service. I was opening the insect netting and the zipper broke and I tried for hours to fix. Emailed customer service, received a very quick response from Walter letting me know they would be happy to replace my insect netting. I am planning to purchase at least 6 more for next year's growing season to replace my "uncovered wooden beds.

Easy to assemble and seems sturdy enough. I’m on my second summer using this item and it has held up well. Last year did a veggie garden and this year it’s a dahlia garden. Japanese beetles are a problem this year but not with the screen enclosure. It is quite large so many bags of potting soil are required. Just FYI

I love this light weight easy to move protection for my plants. However over the winter, I had a mouse break into the storage area and eat huge holes into the netting. I cannot find a replacement anywhere without buying the entire thing all over and I only need one part.

I would have used this, but my plants got a disease this past summer, very hightly transmittable to other plants, so I haven't used it yet, but I look forward to doing so when I can. It is a very high quality, and I wanted a nice big fabric bag for planting tomatoes. While tomatoes will grow for you in smaller bags (cherry may be OK, but even some of the bigger cherries, I would use a size of bag like this), if you are planting a larger tomato, it will love the space of this for its roots! And since I'm planning to use this as a 'late plant' to get tomatoes late in the season, love the cover to keep warm for cold nights in fall - I may see if I can keep one growing over the winter in garage. Not easy to do in PA, but will see ; )

This product is a great buy for those that are into square foot gardening. The enclosure is well built, light a breeze to assemble. It has 4 zippered mesh hatches..two on each side . Pretty ingenious design. I expanded it a bit by building two elevated shelves which greatly expanded its capacity. Also I installed an irrigation system inside running the length top of the enclosure.Finally, SIMPO is a small manufacturing company. I particularly like ordering from them just to support small business and because they have the integrity and customer services that many companies don't have.I look forward to ordering more products from them. Thanks Walter..great job.

Reasonably priced with such a deep base that you can even plant root vegetables without an issue. In fact, because it is so deep, I can sit at a bench and plant without bending over or getting on my knees which are issues for me. It does not need to be raised any further. Once you put the soil in it, it will become very heavy though and you will not be able to move it by yourself. I resolve this issue by putting a sheet of lattice underneath it and that will allow me to slide it on the deck if I need to, with some help, of course. It comes with netting to keep away the birds and insects and also a greenhouse cover which will allow you to extend your growing season. They use real zippers. They open all the way to the top so you can let in the pollinators, should you need them. You can see that it was a well designed and thought out system. The only thing missing is a drip system, but you can always add that on with a timer, and your system would literally take care of itself. The only thing I don't like is that the bottom netting area is open in the corners, so a squirrel might be able to make it's way into the bed (they really should have carried the zipper all the way to the ground) but that is solvable by adding spikes in key areas near the bottom of the bag to hold the netting in place. I was even able to put in lattice in the back as there was more than enough room to set everything up perfectly. My only concern is whether the bag will retain too much moisture or water, but I'll have to wait until we get a strong enough storm to see what happens. I used organic pesticides as a precautionary measure. Overall, I am delighted with this set up.

I love this, it works great I did however need to wrap a buggy cord around it to keep smaller things out.
