Raised Garden Bed Frames

It's a fact!  ...Raised garden beds are attractive, easy, and fun to use. Best of all, they produce more and healthier flowers, vegetables and herbs. Raised bed gardeners know this fact, and are more successful growers.

Lookng for great looking flowers, and a bountiful vegetable harvest? Then, a raised garden bed is for you!

Plastic raised garden bed kits consist of heavy-duty plastic landscape timber and corner brackets. Plastic landscape timber is by far the most common material. They are long-lasting, retaining an attractive appearance. Cedar boards, wood boards or wood landscape timbers are also commonly used. They have a limited life, and lose their neat and tidy appearance fairly quickly as they age.

Important note: Avoid using pressure treated lumber or landscape timber. While pressure treated wood lasts longer than untreated wood, they can contain harmful chemicals that can leach into your soil.

  

Why are growers much more successful using raised gardens to produce a spectacular crop?

  • The elevated surface allows for good drainage, especially during wet spring weather, and summer downpours.

  • The soil in your raised bed frame warms up earlier in the season. This promotes earlier seed germination, and healthier early season plants.

  • Ease of use - Senior citizens and people with handicaps love the elevated gardens.

  • It's easier on the back and knees for all of us.

  • People who have a raised bed garden, are more avid gardeners who take pride in their gardens.

Raised bed frames do not have a bottom- Many plants root systems will grow much deeper than the height of the raised garden bed. You do not want to restrict the root system in its search for water and nutrients. For use on a balcony or deck, place the unit on top of a sheet of plastic or a plywood board.

Guarden raised vegetable and flower bed kits are the most popular units on the market. They don't skimp on material, which affects the strength of the plastic timber. Unlike other models, the 4' X 8' Guarden raised bed frames are so strong, they do not need a center support that gets in the way of you and your plants.

Creative Uses of the Guarden Raised Bed Frame Kits:

  • Senior citizen  and assisted living facilities place a sheet of plywood atop sawhorses. The frame is placed on the plywood, and filled with soil.

  • Use smaller sizes on balconies, decks, patios and high rise rooftops. Just place a piece of plastic sheeting under the frame. Fill the frame with soil, and you are ready to garden almost anywhere.

Plastic raised bed frames come in a variety of sizes. They can be single deep (5 1/4" high), or extra deep(10 1/2" high), using one or two plastic timbers. Extra deep models, are by far the most popular. The extra height makes it easier to work and harvest your plants.

Popular sizes are:

  • 2' X 4'

  • 3' X 6'

  • 4' X 4'

  • 4' X 8'
