Dimensions:

All boards are standard surfaced 2x6 with actual dimensions of 1.5"x 5.5", and two or more boards stacked on top of each other give the raised beds their height of 11".

Features & Benefits:

  • Tool-free assembly - Raised beds assemble in minutes with no tools required.
  • Superior strength - No hardware, screws or nails to loosen with swelling and shrinking of wood.
  • Natural, rot-resistant wood – this variety of cedar lasts up to thirty years or more, even left unfinished. You can also stain the outside of the boards if you want them to blend in with your fence or patio design.
  • Greenhouse ready - you can leave the corner pins slightly protruding and then slide some thin pvc pipe over them, bending the pipe in a hoop to the other side of the bed. Then drape clear plastic over the pipe, and affix with zip-ties.

Rot-Resistant Cedar:

Raised beds are made from Port-Orford cedar—the strongest of all cedars. As strong as Douglas Fir and more rot-resistant than Redwood. Port-Orford cedar (also known as Lawson cypress) is a fragrant, light-colored wood with even texture and strong natural oils that help protect against moisture and microorganisms.

Port-Orford cedar's superior strength and durability means these raised beds last many times longer than most lumber found in stores. In normal conditions, we estimate a life-span of 30+ years. And that's likely a conservative estimate. It really is an extraordinary wood—perfect for long-lasting raised beds!

Innovative design:

These beds are made from untreated kiln-dried Port-Orford cedar, a rot-resistant wood that can be painted or stained, or left unfinished to gray naturally. The simple design of these kits allow wood to shrink and swell, for better strength and durability in wet/dry conditions. Hardware like screws and nails eventually loosen as wood ages. Our beds assemble with rust-free metal pins set securely through the ends of each board. So after years of exposure the planter won't fall apart, and yet can be disassembled by hand if needed.

Add a Greenhouse or Cloche:

You can bend flexible piping over the corner pins (don’t push them all the way down if you want to do this) to provide support for a shade cloth or greenhouse covering. Try pipe over the pins on the north side of the bed, and tie string for climbing plants like beans or vine tomatoes. The beds come with extra long pins for exactly this purpose. If not needed, they can also be staked into the ground to set flush with the top of the planter.

Assembly:

Just level ground, stack boards and insert corner pins to create a long-lasting garden bed for your flowers and vegetables. No tools necessary. Assembly takes just minutes. The pins can be hammered into the ground so they're flush with the top of the bed.

Questions about the Natural Cedar Raised Garden Bed - 3' Widths

Sort by Descending
  • From russ baker at 6/27/10 1:48 AM
    • is there any bottom covering or just open for draining? is there a perferred ground preperation before setting up beds frames?
    • All raised garden beds are open-bottomed. (Garden 'planters' usually have bottoms.) This enables the roots to reach further into the soil to access minerals and nutrients which may not be available in your planting mix. This also permits the growing of deep rooted crops such as potatoes and carrots.

      You do not have to prepare the solid ground beneath the new bed, but it is advisable to at least break up the ground with a pitchfork, especially if the ground is well compacted.

      In our gardens, we dig about 12" down into the ground and break up the soil, and then add amendments like rock phosphate, then we build the bed over this plot of ground. We don't add fertilizer until the bed has been mostly filled with soil, since this gives the young roots from your transplants ready access to fertilizers which help them off to a good start. The fertilizers and soil amendments (e.g. compost, canola meal, vermiculite, etc.) should be in the top 6" of soil. Over time, the rain and your watering will allow these amendments to work their way down further into the soil.

      One other suggestion - go easy on the lime. The best time to add lime is in the fall because the lime has over winter to incorporate into your soil. Too much lime at planting time can actually slow down plant growth.
