Colorbond Steel

Genuine BlueScope corrugated Colorbond steel walls — 22 colours, the right material for Melbourne's outdoor conditions. Colour-stable, completely weatherproof and built to withstand Melbourne's wet winters and summer heat without swelling, splitting or degrading. The corrugated wall profile holds its shape and colour across years of outdoor use.

 

Pine frame

Three frame options:

• Raw pine — natural bare timber, no treatment or finish. Ready to paint or stain yourself.

• ACQ treated pine — engineered for outdoor durability. The ACQ treatment is absorbed into the timber fibres, guarding against Melbourne's wet winters and year-round moisture exposure.

• Painted pine — 2 full coats applied by hand for a finished, coordinated look.

 

Construction

Built with hot-dipped galvanised shank nails — industry standard for outdoor timber. These flex with the timber's natural movement, keeping the structure sound across seasons. Handcrafted at our Cranbourne, Melbourne workshop by qualified carpenters.

• Always bottomless — the bed sits directly on the ground with no base restriction

• Roots grow freely into native soil below — no depth limit

• Natural drainage through the open base — no waterlogging, no pooling

• Corrugated Colorbond steel walls need no lining — soil contact causes zero deterioration to the steel

• Ideal for in-ground vegetable growing, productive kitchen gardens and feature native plantings

Bottomless configuration — unrestricted root depth into ground below:

• Productive vegetables: tomatoes, capsicum, zucchini, pumpkin, beans, peas

• Root vegetables reaching deep into ground soil: carrots, beetroot, parsnips, turnips

• Herbs and leafy greens in abundance — the square format is ideal for mixed planting zones

• Feature natives and perennials with deep root systems

 

The square format suits a four-quadrant layout particularly well — divide into herbs, leafy greens, fruiting vegetables and flowers for a productive and visually organised kitchen garden.
