This video shows how easy it is to put our raised beds together.
The benefits.
Raised garden beds are great for growing small plots of veggies and flowers. They keep pathway weeds from the soil, prevent soil compaction, provide good drainage and serve as a barrier to pests such as slugs and snails.

You are sometimes able to plant earlier in the season because the soil is warmer depending on the position of the bed and better drained because it is above ground level.
By raising the soil level raised garden beds also reduce back strain when bending over to tend the bed.
This is especially helpful to older gardeners, people with bad backs or wheel chair users and with our raised beds you can sit on the edge of the raised bed while weeding, or have a cup of tea. For some gardeners this is the biggest benefit of all.
Our raised beds are built using 150mm by 25mm timbers with the corners being 100mm by
75mm. This makes them very strong. Sizes of 1.8m or more are also cross braced
to add even more strength. They are delivered in flat pack with all holes
pre-drilled and can be put together in less than twenty minutes. They include
the screws so you only need a screw driver.

These raised beds can be used for planting anything from vegetables, fruits to ornamentals.
They can be used on decking, patios, drive and pathways or in an existing bed to give extra height.
The top shelf can be drilled to allow cane supports to pass through them and into the soil to provide a much stronger support for climbing plants.
They reduce back ache from all the bending down, generally improve plant growth because of the extra soil quality and are a particular favourite for wheel chair uses.
