I've been on to the company, but hoping someone here might have built on before, or spot something we've done wrong.
Bought a metal raised bed and just can't get the bloody thing assembled. The corners are meant to lock but they just won't lock and keep popping out. There's arrows on a couple of the pieces and that point up (or maybe down?) and we've lined them up but no joy. We've matched the pieces with the picture on the box as best we can.
Any chance someone here can enlighten me? Had this over a week now and would just love to get it set up over the weekend.

Maybe you have the sides on upside down.
The screw head goes into the circle part of the slot and then you slide the panel down so the screw head can’t pop out. You have the panel on upside down, preventing the screw from sliding into the slot.
The narrow bit of the hole is suppose to be at the top of the hole… This is on upside down. Those holes are suppose to HANG use gravity to your advantage;) Screw goes in big bit of the hole the gravity pulls the siding down slipping the screw into the narrow bit of the hole… They are called keyhole mounting slots

Panels are upside down for a start.
Is the uneven ground perhaps dislodging them a bit.. They look good, are they reasonably strong enough..
