Gardening Shouldn't Hurt

Gardening should be a relaxing escape, not a source of back strain and sore knees from crouching on the ground. Tending to ground-level beds often invites uninvited pests to snack on your hard work, while leaving your patio or balcony looking cluttered and chaotic.

Usage Tips

Line the inside with landscaping fabric before adding soil to prolong the life of the wood and keep soil contained.
Place heavier items like bags of potting mix on the bottom shelf to provide extra stability in windy areas.
Position the planter in a spot that receives at least six hours of sunlight if you plan to grow vegetables or herbs.
Apply a natural, food-safe wood sealant annually to maintain the colour and protect against moisture.
Group plants with similar watering needs together in the bed to make daily maintenance easier and more efficient.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to treat the wood before leaving it outside?

The natural fir wood is inherently weather-resistant, but applying a clear, non-toxic wood preservative or raw linseed oil annually will significantly extend its lifespan and maintain its vibrant colour.

Does the planter box require a liner?

While not strictly necessary, adding a breathable landscape fabric liner helps retain soil moisture, prevents fine dirt from washing out through the drainage gaps, and protects the wood from direct wet soil contact.

How much potting soil do I need to fill the planting bed?

The planting bed holds roughly 70 litres (about 2.5 cubic feet) of soil. We recommend using a high-quality, lightweight raised bed or potting mix rather than dense topsoil.

Will the shelf hold heavy bags of compost?

The lower storage shelf is rated to hold up to 20kg — ideal for lightweight tools, watering cans, and small pots. Heavy 40-litre bags of wet compost should be stored elsewhere.

Are the drainage holes pre-drilled, or do I need to make them?

Yes — the base panels feature pre-drilled drainage holes to ensure excess water escapes easily, preventing root rot and keeping your plants healthy.

What plants can I grow in this planter?

Ideal for herbs, lettuce, leafy greens, flowers, strawberries, and other small-to-medium plants. The planting depth also supports shallow root vegetables like radishes and spring onions.

Is the wood weather-resistant?

Yes — the planter is made from quality fir wood designed for outdoor use. Adding a protective sealant will further extend its life in wet or humid conditions.

Is assembly required?

Some assembly is required. All hardware and step-by-step instructions are included so most customers complete setup within 30–45 minutes.

Is this suitable for wheelchair users or people with limited mobility?

Absolutely. The elevated design and open lower section make it highly accessible for gardeners who use wheelchairs or mobility aids — one of its most appreciated features.

Can I take this with me if I move home?

Yes — because it requires no digging and leaves no permanent mark, it's the ultimate renter-friendly garden. Simply disassemble and take it with you.

🌿 Did You Know?

Raised bed gardening can increase yields by up to 4x compared to traditional in-ground planting — thanks to better drainage, warmer soil temperatures, and fewer weeds competing for nutrients. Your elevated planter gives you all those advantages, right on your patio.
