Swapping between an open bed and a covered one takes seconds: the PVC greenhouse hood lifts off this galvanized planter, leaving a bare metal box for summer and a sheltered growing space for cold snaps. The bed itself runs 6 feet long, 3 feet wide, and 1 foot deep, holding 130 gallons of soil, while the hood raises total height to 57 inches. Two large roll-up zippered windows open along the sides for watering, harvesting, and venting on warm afternoons. The cover holds warmth, sheds rain, blocks frost, and keeps rabbits and birds off young seedlings. Corrugated galvanized panels resist rust and hold their shape, and the base is left open so roots grow down into the native soil. The assembled bed weighs 26.5 pounds and ships flat with hardware and a manual.
