Q. How do I know what size screwdriver I will need to put it together?

A. We include a free screwdriver bit, that fits in most electric screwdrivers, just to make putting your beds together as easy as possible!

Q. Do I need to line my raised garden beds before I fill them?

A. A liner is not required if sited on existing soil or lawn, but is recommended if used on a patio, gravel or decking. This will prevent the soil from being washed out when watered. Our liners are a non woven, waterpermeable geotextile. This ensures water is allowed to drain whilst retaining soil and preventing roots from growing up through the ground.

Q. How strong are your raised garden beds?

A. Extra thick 42mm timber is used to build our beds, this ensures more than enougth strength to retain soil contained by beds without bowing in the middle and allows you to sit on the edges while gardening.

Q. What form of treatment is used to preserve the timber that you build your products with and can it leach out?

A. We build our products out of Tanalised E pressure treated timber. This treatment's preservative components bond within the timber structure such that they become leach resistant. Therefore are suitable for use as earth retaining structures such as vegetable beds.
