Does your Birdies bed have some
scratches from shipping?
Note that the powder coat of paint
isn’t actually the protective part of
the bed. The bed itself is made of
Aluzinc, one of the most durable
galvanized steels out there. You
won’t deal with any rust at all, even
with the scrapes. Please contact
customer service
(customerservice@
epicgardening.com)
to have a magical
can of powder spray paint sent to
you. It is an exact match for the coat
that is already on the bed.
Were your Birdies bed corners slightly
bent during shipping?
The panels can be easily bent back
into place. Use a cloth to protect
the metal when you re-adjust the
bed and return it to its original state.
After you’re done, it will be like-
new, especially when two beds are
screwed together. Make sure to put
the bent panel under the non-bent
side. Ideally, placing bent panels on
the bottom ensures any remaining
imperfections aren’t visible. Check
out this helpful YouTube video
(https://bit.ly/bentpanels).
Are you missing any hardware?
No problem at all! Just contact
customer service

and they will
send the hardware to you right away.
Do I need a Bracing Kit?
Our Tall 8-in-1 is the only model that
requires and comes with a bracing
kit. If you need one (or more) for
peace of mind or because you’re
combining beds, you can purchase
more from our store. Check out this
video for more information
(https://bit.ly/bracinginfo).
Can I combine beds?
Yes! You can combine two beds
together. We always recommend
installing bracing bars when
combining beds to prevent bowing
due to soil pressure. For detailed
instructions, visit (https://bit.ly/
bracinginfo).
Can I place my Birdies Beds on a
slope?
Indeed! Build a terraced slope
with retaining walls, which looks
quite nice but takes some effort.
If you have a shallow slope and
want to nestle your bed into it,
refer to our YouTube
video
(https://bit.ly/slopeplacement)
for
bracing instructions.
How do I fill my Birdies bed?
Most models of Birdies beds can
be configured to many different
dimensions due to their panel
construction. This
causes the soil
requirements to
change based on
the dimensions
you choose.
But not to worry!
To make this simpler
for you, we’ve created
a chart for each model showcasing
the dimensions and the required soil
in both cubic feet and cubic yards.
For taller models we recommend
watching our YouTube
video
(https://bit.ly/filltallbeds) to save
60%+ on your soil costs.
