Vego or Birdies raised beds?

Vego and Birdies metal raised beds compared on the heights, layouts, soil capacity, steel and warranty each maker publishes.

Which suits you

Vego

Vego suits a bed you want in many sizes and heights: its beds here run 17 to 32 in, including elevated planters.

Birdies

Birdies suits a steel bed with a longer warranty, bought direct from its maker: its beds here are 15 or 29 inches tall.

This compares what makers publish and what extension services say. It is not a test of any bed.
