Comments about In-Line Connectors:
I believe these sturdy connectors will hold longer raised beds together through freezing and thawing year after year. They are so well built. Once I get a raised bed made I don't want to have to do it over again in a couple years because the sides have pushed out from freezing and thawing. I bought them because I know they will work as well as the corner pieces. I thought I could get away without the connectors. I couldn't. I would definitely not build a bed longer than eight to ten feet again without using the connectors.

Comments about In-Line Connectors:
Very pleased with this product. Very easy to assemble. I spent hours building raised beds in the past. Now, I can put one together in about 10 minutes. The only complaint I have is that they sell out too quickly. I've been rebuilding my garden this year and everyone seems to want these connectors too!

Comments about In-Line Connectors:
The in-line connectors fit perfectly and made our raised bed easy to put together. They fit well with the standard size cedar we bought from our local lumber yard, too!

Comments about In-Line Connectors:
Used these to create 4x6 beds instead of 4x12. Worked very well and once I kept two big pliers handy to bend any tabs that might have been snug assembly was quick.

Comments about In-Line Connectors:
fasteners should be removable from the outside of corners because if the wood needs to be replaced, you have to remove soil to get to the fasteners

Comments about In-Line Connectors:
Plastic connectors (just as expensive) are the weak link in a large raised bed. They break after a couple of northern winters. These seem well constructed, are easy to use, and I believe they will last much longer. Also, the ability to add a cross brace allows for a better looking and structurally stronger bed.

Comments about In-Line Connectors:
Since screw holes are inside, if you are surrounding a built up area you have to dig out so you can insert screws. Screws should be from outside.

Comments about In-Line Connectors:
Easy to use and assemble. The nominal length is adjusted to fit standard lumber sizes. Screws were included, although I am not sure if they are stainless steel vs nickel plated. I used pressure treated lumber. I had to shave down a board end or two that were thicker than they the 2" nominal (1-1/2" actual) thickness. I also needed to level the two courses so they fit square in the in-line connectors.
Pros

Comments about In-Line Connectors:
Very sturdy and easy to install. These brackets made building a raised bed very simple.
