Product Information

Full details

The Gardening Naturally Premium Red Cedar raised bed is an ideal solution for home gardeners looking to establish a durable, aesthetically pleasing, and long-lasting planting space. Crafted from high-quality New Forest red cedar, these beds offer natural decay resistance and structural stability for various garden environments. While the timber arrives untreated to ensure a natural finish, users should note that consistent exposure to the elements will eventually alter the wood's appearance, and it may require specific placement considerations for optimal longevity.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Do I need to treat the wood with a preservative?

No, red cedar is naturally resistant to decay and rot, so chemical treatment is not required.

Can I stack these boards to make a taller bed?

The system is modular, and you can stack boards if you have the appropriate connectors or additional kit components to ensure stability.

What is the thickness of the cedar boards?

Each board is 3.2cm thick, providing a strong and durable frame.

Is the cedar sustainably sourced?

Yes, the cedar is sourced from the New Forest, ensuring it meets high quality and environmental standards.

What tools do I need for assembly?

You will generally need a screwdriver (preferably electric) and a spirit level to ensure the bed is flat.

Will the wood rot if it touches the soil?

Red cedar is highly resistant to rot, even when in direct contact with soil, making it perfect for raised garden beds.

Troubleshooting

The bed frame feels unstable after assembly.

Check that all galvanised screws are fully tightened and ensure the ground beneath the frame is perfectly level.

The wood is showing signs of discolouration.

This is a natural process for cedar exposed to sunlight and rain; it does not affect the structural integrity of the timber.

Screw holes are not aligning during assembly.

Ensure that the corner posts are flush against the ends of the boards and that you are using the correct screws for the specific board joints.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Each kit comes with pre-cut cedar boards, internal corner fixing posts, and galvanised screws. To set up, ensure you have a flat, cleared area of soil or patio surface.

Lay out the timber boards and corner posts to visualize your desired footprint.
Use the provided galvanised screws to secure the boards to the internal corner posts, ensuring the flat trim is aligned correctly at the top.
Verify the frame is level using a spirit level before filling with compost or topsoil.

Since the wood is untreated, you may choose to leave it to weather naturally to a silvery grey tone, or apply a non-toxic timber oil if you prefer to maintain the original red cedar color. Periodically clear debris from the corners to prevent trapped moisture.
