Setup, Compatibility & Care
To assemble your raised bed, ensure you have a flat, level surface in your garden that receives sufficient sunlight. Since the boards are not pre-drilled, position your internal corner posts and use an electric drill to drive the included galvanized screws through the boards securely. Avoid using a manual screwdriver, as the density of the cedar requires high torque for a proper flush fit. Regarding maintenance, while the cedar is naturally resistant to decay, you may occasionally clean the surfaces with water and a soft brush to remove dirt. The wood will naturally silver over time if left untreated; if you prefer to maintain the red color, you can apply a natural-based, plant-safe wood preservative periodically.
