Question, I just built a metal 6x3x1 raised garden bed and it came with things to put in the middle I think are support beams? Do I have to keep them in there or not, they stick out from the dirt and it doesn’t look very good but I also don’t want the sides to stick out and bulge? :)

I guess ot would depend on if they are dividers, or support. If they just slide in, id assume dividers. If they are attached to the metal frame, id assume support

Agreed! You can always do a simple stake driven in the ground on the outside. Stain it a color you like maybe? To keep the sides from bulging…

There def supports bc I have to screw then in the sides

I’d keep them for that added support. Once all the dirt is added and you start watering, you’ll be glad you used them 😊
