I'm not quite sure what you mean, but I don't think the panels will be strong enough to hold the weight of the plants, soil and water.

  you need to add plywood on inside of frame or adding xtra 2x4s/something for xtra support/framing so panels do not bow outward because it is not as rigid as metal and could crack maybe you could use stucco/chicken wire just something so full weight of dirt it not pushing on fiberglass panels
