The Living and Home Raised Garden Bed is designed for urban gardeners and hobbyists looking to maximize smaller outdoor spaces with a structured, efficient planting solution. This raised bed provides an ideal environment for flowers and vegetables by ensuring superior drainage through its open-base design, though users should note that because it sits directly on the ground, it may require a landscape fabric liner if installed over surfaces where weed prevention is a priority.

Yes, but because the base is open, you will need to place a tray or liner underneath if you do not want soil to come into contact with your patio surface.
The material is finished for outdoor use, so no immediate painting is required. However, you can apply a weather-resistant wood sealant if you wish to extend the life of the material in harsh climates.
The bed provides significant depth for most standard flowers and shallow-rooted vegetables, allowing for healthy root expansion.
It can be left outside during winter, but emptying the bed or covering the soil can help prevent the frame from experiencing excessive pressure due to freezing ground soil.
The volume of soil required depends on the specific dimensions of the small model; it is best to calculate the cubic volume of the interior to determine your soil needs before purchase.
Ensure all connection points are fully tightened and verify that the surface underneath the garden bed is perfectly level.
The open-base design allows roots to reach deep, but it also allows weeds through. Lift the bed and install a layer of landscaping fabric at the base.
To set up your garden bed, choose a location that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight. Clear the area of debris and ensure the surface is level to prevent the frame from warping or wobbling. If you are placing the bed on top of an existing lawn, we strongly recommend laying down a weed-suppression membrane or heavy-duty landscaping fabric at the base before adding soil. This will prevent grass and weeds from penetrating your garden bed. Maintenance is minimal: simply clear away dead plant matter at the end of each season and check the frame periodically for any loose connections to ensure structural integrity.
