Classic Raised Garden Bed

Description

On one hand, it seems like there’s nothing too complicated about a raised garden bed. It’s just four walls with no bottom to hold all your soil together, right?

Yes, that’s basically true. But it turns out there’s a number of other factors and decisions to be made when choosing a raised garden bed. Click here to read a post where we discuss those issues at length.

After doing your research, however, you’ll eventually arrive to one of a few preferences. You can go the economical route with less-expensive material or thinner boards. Or you can choose to pay a little more for thicker lumber on your raised beds…ensuring that they last for many years. We make both types of raised beds, just so you know.

But the latter option is what you’re seeing here in our classic beds. Available in cedar or Douglas fir, these beds are super sturdy and built to last for years.

In the corners, we interlock the ends of the boards for additional strength and stability. The boards are attached to vertical braces at multiple points with long, weather-proof screws.

Looks don’t matter to everyone. We understand that some people just want to grow their veggies and they’re not too concerned with appearances. But we prepare our classic raised garden beds so that they’re aesthetically pleasing. We cut a 45° angle on the long edge of each board to create clean, beautiful lines. These beds look great wherever you put them…especially when you have two or more of them together.
