Product Information

Full details

This raised garden bed is for home gardeners seeking a durable and space-saving solution for growing plants in compact outdoor areas like patios or small gardens. Its key benefit is providing a comfortable gardening experience with reduced bending thanks to its 30 cm height, while also improving soil conditions and protecting plants from pests. A potential caveat is its specific green finish may not suit all aesthetic preferences, although it is designed to blend naturally with surroundings.

FAQs

What are the dimensions of the available sizes?

The available sizes are Large: 120 cm (L) x 60 cm (W) x 30 cm (H) and Medium: 61 cm (L) x 61 cm (W) x 30 cm (H).

How long does assembly typically take?

Assembly is designed to be quick and easy, usually taking under 30 minutes with the use of basic tools.

Can this raised bed be placed on a wooden deck?

Yes, it can be placed on a wooden deck. Ensure the deck can support the weight of the filled bed and consider using a liner if concerned about moisture transfer, although the bed itself is designed to be weatherproof.

What type of soil should I use to fill the raised bed?

A good quality potting mix or a blend of topsoil and compost is recommended. Ensure the mix provides good drainage and aeration suitable for the plants you intend to grow.

Does the green finish fade in sunlight?

The powder-coated finish is designed for outdoor durability. While fading is possible over extended periods of intense sunlight, it is formulated to resist significant colour degradation.

How does the raised height benefit gardening?

The 30 cm raised height significantly reduces the need to bend over, making planting, weeding, and harvesting more comfortable and less strenuous on your back and knees.

Is this product suitable for beginners?

Yes, the easy assembly, space-saving design, and pest-deterrent features make it an excellent choice for beginner gardeners looking for a convenient and effective planting solution.

Troubleshooting

Bed sections do not align correctly during assembly.

Ensure all components are laid out and identified before starting. Check for any slight bends or damage to the panels and gently adjust if necessary. Refer to the assembly diagram for correct orientation.

Water pooling at the bottom of the bed.

Ensure the placement area has adequate drainage. If placing on a solid surface like concrete, consider adding a layer of gravel at the base before filling with soil to improve drainage. Check that drainage holes are not obstructed.

Visible signs of rust appearing over time.

While built for durability, minor surface rust can occur in harsh conditions. Clean the affected area gently with a soft brush and water. For persistent rust, a rust-inhibiting paint suitable for galvanised surfaces can be applied as a touch-up.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Assembly is designed to be quick and easy, typically completed in under 30 minutes using basic tools such as a screwdriver or wrench. Ensure you have a level surface for placement before assembly. Follow the included instructions carefully for optimal structural integrity.

Compatibility: This raised garden bed is compatible with a wide range of soil types and gardening substrates. It is suitable for growing vegetables, herbs, flowers, and decorative plants. It can be placed on patios, decks, balconies, or directly on garden soil.

Care: To maintain the longevity and appearance of your raised garden bed, it is recommended to wipe it down with a damp cloth periodically to remove dirt and debris. While the galvanised steel and powder coating offer excellent rust resistance, avoid using abrasive cleaners or tools that could scratch the surface. Ensure good drainage within the bed to prevent waterlogging, which can impact both the bed's material and plant health.
