Making a 3d version of raised bed for planting

Hello,

 

I am very new to VW and am trying to create this raised bed in a 3d model so I can make a planting plan for it.

https://www.harrodhorticultural.com/harrod-superior-metal-raised-beds-anthracite-grey-pid10024.html

It is 0.6m by 1.8m and the height is 40cm. The material is 1mm thick galvanised steel 

I want to fill it with soil and then plants.

I'm really struggling to get any further than a 2d rectangle and any help would be amazing.

Yikes - no responses yet?  Hope you solved already.

Several ways to do this.  Here is one way with basic Extrude Along Path. That final step with adjusting the location of the Profile is needed because vwx defaults to the center of the profile as the extrude datum.  There are some workarounds, but this is the basics.

 

Full shape of the profile is not revealed in the catalog.  Does the bottom actually have that little return bend?

Post again if more info needed.
