Product Information
Full details
The Forest Caledonian Tiered Raised Bed with Base is designed for gardeners looking to maximize limited space while adding vertical visual interest to their landscape. It serves as an excellent solution for growing decorative flowers or establishing a compact kitchen garden, offering a structured, accessible environment for plant growth. While the tiered design is highly effective for varied plant heights, users should note that its fixed dimensions are best suited for smaller courtyards or patio settings rather than large-scale vegetable plots.

FAQs
How much compost is required to fill this bed?
The bed requires approximately 330 liters of compost to fill to capacity.
Can I place this directly on a wooden deck?
Yes, the included base makes it suitable for decks, but you may want to use a protective mat underneath if you are concerned about moisture staining the deck surface.
What is the warranty period?
The product includes a 15-year anti-rot guarantee from the manufacturer.
Is the timber treated with chemicals?
Yes, it is pressure-treated with an industry-standard preservative to ensure longevity and rot resistance.
Can this be used for vegetables?
Absolutely, the tiered design is excellent for creating a compact kitchen garden for herbs and vegetables.
Does it come with assembly tools?
The kit includes the pre-notched components, but you will need basic household tools, such as a screwdriver and potentially a rubber mallet, to complete the assembly.
Troubleshooting
Water pooling at the base
Ensure the planter is placed on a slightly porous surface or elevate it on small bricks to allow for better drainage from the base.
Wood appears dry or weathered
Apply a high-quality, water-based wood preservative to restore moisture protection and color.
Difficulty assembling notched joints
Check that the ground is level and use a rubber mallet to gently tap the pieces into place without damaging the timber.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly should be performed on a flat, stable surface. Begin by identifying all pre-notched panels and following the provided instruction manual to slot the pieces together. Ensure all screws are tightened to maintain structural rigidity. Since the timber is pressure-treated, it is ready for immediate use, though you may choose to apply a garden-grade timber preservative every few years to maintain the wood's appearance. To care for the bed, keep the soil moisture levels consistent and ensure the drainage holes remain clear of compacted debris after each growing season.
