Metal raised beds?

[TheSpottedZebra]

I've got wooden raised beds: one wall of each has totally rotted out. The other walls are iffy. I could just patch up and make last for a few more years or I could replace now, in early spring.

I'm tempted by the metal raised beds! Has anyone any experience of them? Do they last? I intend to stay in this house forever if possible, so longevity would be a huge positive! Do they get super hot and dry out the compost or scorch the plants? Are they likely to have sharp bits? Are there fewer slugs?

Basically- has anyone got any experience? I'm tempted, and would like to get it done easily innthe season if I'm going to do so at all this year.

Have a look at Everedge - they do a product called EasyBed.

I haven’t really got any good photos just focussing on the product itself, more of the after effect! I used them to create a sort of rose path. They are now in their fourth year. No corrosion or damage so far.

I filled mine with a mixture of manure and topsoil.

There's an Australian gardener on youtube who uses them all the time.
