Raised Garden Bed Anchor Joints, 2-pack

2 Anchor Joints included per pack

Anchor joints are now offered in two options to use with 1 inch or 2 inch timbers.

The anchor joints feature a 11.5 inch stake, which can be hammered into the ground to hold the bed in place. They rotate 270 degrees and firmly hold the composite timbers in place. The slot that the 2 inch timber fits into will also accept standard 2 x 6 sawn lumber, and the slot that the 1 inch timber fits into will accept standard 1 x 6 sawn lumber. Stacking joints slide into the Anchor Joints to provide additional height.

If you plan on using your own lumber with the anchor/stacking joints, it is important to note that the actual inside width of the flanges is 1.5" for the 2" anchor/stacking joints. This corresponds with the actual thickness of standard lumber. For example, in all lumberyards and home improvement centers, a "standard" 2 x 6 board is actually 1.5" thick. For the 1" anchor/stacking joints, the actual inside measurement is a full 1", which is thicker than standard "1x" lumber. If you want to use your own lumber for the 1" anchor joints, you will need rough lumber that is 1" thick.

Small caps, designed to cover the tops of the topmost joints, keep dirt, sand and other grit from getting into the joints.

Each Joint comes with 4 black zinc-plated steel screws to firmly hold the timbers in place. A power drill is the easiest way to put these screws in. However, some customers find the joints hold the timbers sufficiently and say the screws are unnecessary.

Due to this flexibility, you can easily create your own unique raised garden bed with our timbers or lumber from your local lumber yard. Choose from our complete kits, or design your own with just the pieces you need.
