Beautiful, Strong, and Functional
Each Metal Raised Bed Garden Kit is made with 24 gauge galvanized steel that is coated with a zinc-aluminum alloy. This coating makes the beds rust-resistant and weather resistant, ensuring they'll stay looking great in your garden for many years to come.
The glossy exterior gives these beds an elegant look that is sure to enhance the beauty in your backyard. You can grow delicious food in these and look good doing it! The powder-coated exterior reflects sunlight, preventing the beds from getting too hot in the summer months.
12 Raised Bed Designs in One Kit!
Available in a variety of colors, these kits have 12 different possible configurations to fit your garden space perfectly. Whether you want a long rectangular bed or a square garden bed, you can create either with this raised bed kit. The configuration options also allow you to design a raised bed garden setup with multiple bed shapes for different herbs and vegetables.
What Can You Grow in These?
You can grow a wide variety of warm-season and cool-season veggies with this versatile raised bed kit. You can use each bed to plant a single vegetable, or utilize companion planting to get many different herbs and vegetables from the same bed.
During the warm-season, we use our raised beds to grow squash, cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, basil, flowers, and more! The long, skinny bed configuration is perfect for a short row of tomato or pepper plants with room to add cages for support. The larger, square or rectangular configurations allow you to add basil and flowers alongside your tomato plants to keep the beneficial insects nearby.
Fall and winter also provides a wide range of opportunities for growing your own food in these raised beds. They're great for growing lots of carrots, parsnips, and beets in a small space. They're also perfect for growing lettuce, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, mustard greens, turnip greens, collard greens, onions, leeks, and more!
12 Different Configurations in One Kit!
This 12-in-1 Raised Bed Garden Kit allows you to create the perfect bed size for your garden. Whether you want a square bed or a long, rectangular bed, you can easily create whatever you need! See below for all the possible configurations with this kit.
Each kit includes a card that lists all the possible raised bed configurations.
The larger bed configurations will use all the pieces included, while the smaller bed configurations will not.
Quick & Easy Assembly!
Each Raised Bed Kit includes easy-to-follow, detailed assembly instructions. The same nut, bolt, and washer is used for the entire kit.
Place the metal pieces in the desired configuration, insert a bolt through each hole, and secure with a washer and nut. Hand tighten initially, then tighten with a wrench once they're all in place.
After the metal pieces are connected, press the rubber safety edging onto the top edge of the bed. This safety edging ensures no sharp edges are exposed, making the bed safe to use for the entire family.
Filling Raised Beds with Soil
You can use a variety of soil types to fill these raised beds.
We filled ours mostly with composted wood chips that we found at a local sawmill. Then we topped them with mushroom compost, our Coop Gro Fertilizer, and a bag of potting soil.
Some growers will fill the bottom with sticks and other yard debris that will break down over time and provide organic matter for plants.
We recommend filling them to the top initially as the soil will settle over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will These Beds Rust?
These metal raised beds are made of 24 gauge galvanized steel that is coated with Aluzinc. This zinc-aluminum alloy coating creates a rust-resistant surface that can withstand the harshest conditions.
Do the Beds Ever Get Too Hot?
The powder coating reflects heat from the sun and protects the bed from overheating. Even in our warm south Georgia climate, we've never had an issue with the beds getting too warm.
Are These Safe for Growing Food?
The metal and powder coating do not leach harmful substances in the soil, so they're perfectly safe for growing food for your family.
Why Are the Beds Open on the Bottom?
The beds are open at the bottom to allow for drainage. This also allows the soil in your beds to connect to the natural soil biome, which lets beneficial organisms like worms come and go as they please.
Do You Need Support Brackets in the Center?
Support brackets are not necessary when using any of the recommended configurations with the kit. The steel panels are strong and will not bulge when filled with soil.
