Why We Love This Deal
We’re getting a late-season freeze in at least part of the country, but then, fingers crossed, gardening season should be fully here. Seemingly, for gardeners, that means choosing between erecting a sturdy greenhouse or installing garden beds. But, right now, Walmart is selling a hybrid of the two for just $105 that you may not have considered previously.
The King Bird Raised Garden Bed with Cover is 40% off right now and ships free. Its cover gives your plants a lot of the UV and pest protection that a greenhouse would without the extra cost (even small greenhouses usually cost $200 or more) or advanced construction steps. However, note that this is a bestselling Walmart Flash Deal, which means the deal will either sell out soon or finish at the end of the week.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Garden Bed Size: 8 x 4 x 1 feet
- Lid Height: 50.8 inches
- Materials: Galvanized steel, PE
- Best Use Case: Keeping plants warmer, protected, and safe while being planted in natural soil.
If you’re familiar with oval-shaped, galvanized steel garden beds, then you already know what the bottom half of these planters is like. That is, durable, resistant to rust and corrosion, and assembled simply by screwing the parts together.
Then, you get to put a cover over the top. This benefits your plants by keeping some of the heat in, blocking some excess UV waves, and keeping pests out. Though you’ll want to be vigilant with small insects and fungal disease, like all gardeners, thumbless rabbits and deer are no match for a setup like this.
Another great advantage of this setup is that your plants will get all of the advantages of a raised garden bed, which is known to promote healthy roots. By comparison, just imagine the twisted root balls and even root rot that potted plants sometimes get that their naturally-planted peers nearly never do.

What Shoppers Are Saying
Shoppers note that “the plastic on top is really resilient” and can even withstand the added weight that comes with some snow. Multiple users mentioned that birds were kept away from their crops as a result of using the top.
Another user, whose garden bed reportedly grew large cabbages and broccoli, exclaimed, “Whoever made the directions needs to make the directions for EVERY product around the world. They were so incredibly detailed.”
The King Bird Raised Garden Bed with Cover is down to $105 while this Flash Deal is live, but that won't be forever. Get one while you still can.
