- I purchased the Vivosun 43 gallon outdoor composter to replace my random compost pile. I wanted to do a video on the assembly process since the instructions aren’t the most informative, and maybe it can show you some of the trickier parts of the assembly processes. Thanks for watching and look for a review once the compost starts breaking down.

Thank you for making my life easier!
Just ordered mine. Delivered today. I’ll assemble it this Sunday. Thanks for the walk-through! God bless
Mine is still working well. Still learning the right combination to get the best compost, but the garden loves it. May you be blessed as well!
Thanks bro! My seven year old and I fought with this for a few hours... your tips helped alot.
Thanks bud, well done! Lost the instructions, so this helped a ton!
Great video and very helpful. The tips provided really made the job much easier. Thank you!
I appreciate the comment Philip!
Thank you so much for putting this video together
Great Video, thank you for sharing and the tips for assembly. Hope to see a review too on it later after you have had a chance to use it. The drum capacity seems very large, but want to see it in actual use and see if it still meets expectations.
Great video. Thanks a lot for sharing. I just put mine together and this video was very helpful.
Thanks Gary!
You blew by the toughest part of this assembly which is making sure the centerpiece stays in between all grooves with the last 2 panels.
Mine didnt include the socket like yours. Also tried assembling it on the rack as to have it easier to rotate but it was easier to do each, thanks for the last panel tip, def helped!
Thanks for the vid. I am about to undertake the task!
Mine is working well so far… good luck with yours!
@@ReelGreenLawn thanks. Mine went together well and is full now!
Pretty easy to put together. Filled and spinning for weeks now.
Thanks! Needed reassurance. I have a different model but they are close.
Mine is almost full on one side, and I’m ready to see the results. So far it seems like it’s working well. Hope yours does too.. thank you for watching!
I am a 70 yr old woman and I put that exact one together this morning. The only problem I had was getting the center piece in all the grooves. I also took those oranges doors off to make it easier getting inside .
Thank you for sharing. I hope it works well for you!
Thank you.
Thank You!
thanks for the video, was assembling mine and forgot to install the center, when I got to the last panel...duh... so decide not to put in the center divider jus tmakes the tumbler larger and honestly easier to get compost out when ready.
That’s a good idea!
THANK YOU !!!!!
Just put this thing together and watched your video where you put in the middle divider. I hate that it doesn't fit in perfectly even when centered and in between the rails to keep it in place. There was always a gap wide enough for my fingers to go under no matter how I tried to place it. Also, there were arrows on one side of the divider that I tried to match up to the row of arrows inside the barrel but that didn't work either.
Let me go look at mine and see if mine had a bad fit too. I remember it being flimsy awkward to install.
Currently assembling this. The instructions now tell you to go counterclockwise from the door to add panels.
The divider has a small notch on edges plus an arrow. Seems like I should be lining up the arrow with something. The panels also have an arrow next to the slot for the divider. Should those arrows line up??
I rewatched my video to see if I could tell, but it seems I didn’t notice arrows on mine. I think it would be best to line up the arrows since that maybe the proper way to install it. Sorry I’m not much help with your question, but hopefully it still worked out for you!
@ReelGreenLawn First, thanks for responding! Based on your video, the instructions were updated. Perhaps these arrows are new, too. I switched it back and forth, and neither way made more sense!! I'm not changing it now...got it loaded up composting! 🥚 🥬🍋🍅🍌🙃
Mine had different instructions so your video was helpful, only wished you were not so close to your nice Chevelle Malibu .
Have a 72' Olds Cutlass 442 Clone
I’m sure my video will start getting dated as the assembly will probably change on these things.
I love the 442 hoods! What color is yours? My uncle is restoring his ‘72 Cutlass convertible. Light blue with white interior and white top.
Lol I had the same reaction about these gloves 🤣
For the legs am i suppose to remove the bolt? That part kinda sped up so i am not sure. Do i remove and reattach or just remove?
Rewatched to see what you’re talking about, and I believe you are referring to attaching the bin to the top of the legs? If so, there’s a long bolt that goes through the bin mount and the top of the legs, then tighten up the nut. If that’s not what you’re talking about let me know.
@@ReelGreenLawn no, i mean when you connect the legs together. Did you have to remove a small metal piece? I notice mine has that in almost every leg but yours doesnt . I also have a different manual then yours mine is legs first then bin. I have a feeling i am not suppose to keep that metal object but just in case i kept it in a safe place
Gotcha, mine has metal push pins that hold it together. They are somewhat spring loaded, and when aligned with the hole, snap in place. Similar to tent poles. No bolts taken off or fastened on my model.
@@ReelGreenLawn that's the correct terminology...push pins. I am not suppose to remove those? Mine had like a loop thingie. Wish the directions were more clear
That does sound a little different than mine, I wouldn’t remove them and i assume they need to line up for them to fasten. My legs only went together one way, and if I didn’t have it right, there weren’t holes to accept the pin, or each end having pins and no hole. That part was confusing in my instructions too I remember.
I want your car…hell with the bin
The car smells better, and is more fun!
Did the drill actually speed the process up? I’m worried about accidentally over tightening if I use the drill! Braden made it complicated and still got it done in a record setting time of an hour and 15 minutes! Most claim 2+ hours building the Vivosun Tumbler. Can’t be,I’ve I watched a video on how to build a plastic composter. 😆 Great video btw. 👍
I can’t remember if the drill did or not to be honest. I will say it would’ve been way easier to assemble with 2 people. Thanks for watching!
What exactly is the point of a divider that "doesn't need to seal up each half"?! 🤔
I guess to run two sides at different stages of compost?
Its video is good though thank you :)
I didn't have enough screws and nuts to finish assembling the barrel. I can always get a few more at the hardware store. It was hard to tell from your video what you were doing to attach the barrel to the stand. I'm not sure what hardware he needed for that.
Elaine, I just used the two longer bolts provided in the kit. They each slide through the top of the barrel’s axle and the top of the stand, and the nut is attached underneath. The bolts are ~ 3” long, and I only had two of them provided in my kit.
@@ReelGreenLawn At first I could only find one of the long bolts, but then found the other stuck under one of the flaps of the cardboard box. I never found a nut the side that I would have needed the little yellow plastic socket for, but it all went together well without it.
Glad you got it to work for you!
@@ReelGreenLawn got the two longer screws but only 1 nut that worked.
You went through the E/F/G legs in two seconds and didn't show it. I've tried for 30 minutes to get the legs - unsuccessfully.
Sorry about that. Not a professional compost tumbler assembler here. Hopefully you got it on your own.
Good content. Thank you
Thanks for watching… I still have a few months to see if it works. Sure does stink though when I open it up which is a good sign haha.
There are 7 bracket like pieces that say they are part H. I don’t have them. Did you use them to secure the center of each piece.
Only dads watches this video 😂😂😂
Actually mom's too🤷🏼♀️ Well maybe I'm the only one that loves to assembly things. I've thought about advertising to see if I could make some money at it 🤣
Another HandyMOM here! In fact, my husband jokingly calls me HIS husband when it comes to stuff like this🤣 In all honesty, being a single mom for 8 years was actually one of my most motivating factors behind learning to fix everything I can... From the car, to the dishwasher, washing machine, you name it 😅
#GirlPower
That’s why you read instructions first 🤦♀️🤦♀️
Doing this alone is a recipe for suicide. The middle piece will not stay. The fact that all
the pieces are black on black just makes it more miserable.
It’s not a fun assembly for sure!
Dude! Didn't you notice that you had 20+ unused screws and nuts when you were "done"? You missed half of the assembly!
PITA to add those screws in after.
1 star. 4 star FAIL!
Sorry man, I don’t know what screws and nuts I missed. There are no more holes or instruction for anything to be fastened together. All my panels were fastened per the instructions, and it hasn’t failed me yet. I agree it’s a PITA too. Hope yours is working out well!
