I ordered this through Costco online. They had a deal with 2 sections and $100 off with free delivery. This seemed like the perfect solution to our garden in a small yard. The last two years we did a patio garden in pots and plastic tubs, while it worked pretty well and we had a lot of vegetables, we were constantly fighting pests and we didn't have full sun for things like cucumbers and melons. We debated several options to have a raised box garden on the side of the house with more sun. The main problem we kept running into was how to deal with the pests like rabbits and still be able to work on it, that and we would need bug spray for everything which we aren't fond of.
The Grow Camp was definitely the way to go in our case and I was glad to have found it.
It arrived via Fedx on April 15th in a 127lb box left in the driveway. Heavy stuff, sorry Fedx guy! Inside that box was the Grow Camp Basic and 2nd box for the Grow Camp extension.
I pre-built it in the basement, without pinning everything so I could take it back apart, to make sure I had all the parts. It went together quite easily following the diagram instructions.
All the parts fit perfect and the only minor bugs I noticed were 1) one of the top A frame joints had the locking tabs backwards, obviously a plastic mold error, but not anything that affected the assembly or structural integrity. 2) The S hooks are rather sharp and have burrs (more on this later). 3) The center - middle A frame connector had a burr on one end that I had to take a razor blade and trim it down in order to make it fit.
It is quite well designed and manufactured otherwise. I broke this back down in less than 10 minutes and it was easy to rebuild it out in the yard .
