Built for gardeners who don't want to compromise. This medium heavy-duty timber garden bed is handcrafted from 25mm ACQ treated pine — nearly double the wall thickness of standard garden beds — for a noticeably more solid, permanent installation that's built to withstand Melbourne's outdoor conditions.
Available in 1200mm or 1500mm length, sitting flat on the ground with a slatted drainage base. Add lockable castors to make it fully mobile, or leave it fixed for a classic backyard feature. Your size, your finish, handmade to order in Melbourne.

Height options
• 425mm (standard) — 310mm internal soil depth

Timber
• 25mm ACQ treated pine — nearly double the wall thickness of standard 12mm timber
• Substantially heavier, more solid and longer-lasting — built for serious gardeners who want a permanent installation
• ACQ treatment penetrates deep into the timber fibres, delivering long-lasting protection against moisture, insects and weathering
• Engineered for outdoor durability in the Australian climate
• Capping: smooth 25mm deck timber on all top edges — splinter-free, clean finish
Construction
• Solid timber walls with a slatted timber base — gaps between the base slats allow water to drain freely
• Assembled with hot-dipped galvanised shank nails — the industry standard for outdoor timber. They flex with the timber's natural movement
• Ground-sitting flat base — no legs. Add castors for mobility (see Add-ons)
• Hand-built by our experienced carpentry team at our Cranbourne workshop
• Black PVC liner included — keeps moisture away from timber, extending the life of your box
• Slatted timber base with natural drainage gaps — water drains freely
• Flat-base design sits flush to the ground — stable and permanent, or add castors for mobility
• Suitable for growing directly in soil or with pots placed inside
• Want extra drainage? Cut the liner along the gaps between the base slats — water will drain freely through the timber base.
425mm height — 310mm internal soil depth
• Herb gardens and kitchen gardens — basil, parsley, coriander, chives in a dedicated growing bed
• Leafy greens: lettuce, spinach, kale, silverbeet, rocket — enough width for two generous rows
• Strawberry beds — two full rows across the 500mm width
• Flowers, annuals and low-growing natives for garden feature beds
625mm height — 470mm internal soil depth
• Tomatoes, capsicum, eggplant — room for 2–4 plants at proper depth
• Root vegetables: carrots, parsnips, beetroot — uninterrupted root development at 470mm depth
• Climbing beans and peas — pair with the trellis add-on for a full vertical kitchen garden
• Dwarf fruit trees and compact citrus where space permits
