The Oval Metal Raised Garden Bed eliminates those problems by giving you a clean, controlled growing environment at ground level — no digging, no soil amendment, no guesswork. At 88.98\" long and 44.68\" wide, this large oval steel planter holds 27 cubic feet of growing medium, giving you enough space for a serious kitchen garden, a full flower border, or a mixed planting of herbs and vegetables side by side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eConstructed from thickened galvanized metal with an anti-rust coating, this raised bed is built to stay outdoors year-round. The oval form is not just aesthetic — the curved profile distributes soil pressure more evenly than sharp-cornered rectangular beds, reducing the risk of panel deformation at the joints over time. Assembled dimensions are 88.98 × 44.68 × 11.42 inches (approx. 2260 × 1135 × 290 mm), and the bed weighs 25 lbs — solid enough to feel permanent, light enough to reposition before filling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe open base design allows natural soil drainage and encourages deep root growth, making it well-suited for root vegetables, tomatoes, peppers, and sprawling herbs like rosemary and sage.
