Description
This is a very attractive raised bed design, if we may say so ourselves. It features a central split level section flanked by two raised end beds.
Raised vegetable beds with tiered height levels really emphasise the beauty and variety of vegetable crops (or flowers), and allow you to feel like a pro even when you're working within a small urban or suburban space.
The 2 Tier Urban Garden Raised Bed Kit is made up of a central 2 tier 180 cm x 120 cm section flanked by 2 x 120 cm square end beds. The sections are separate beds which are placed together to form this very attractive design.
- 5 sq metres (54 sq feet) of growing space.
- Requires only 4.2 m (14ft) x 1.2 m (4ft) available space.
- Pressure treated timber to protect against rot.
- Perfect for an urban garden where space is at a premium.
The urban garden kit is available at two height options depending on your requirements:
Version 1:
Lower Tier: 170 mm (6.6 inch) - suitable for shallow rooted salad crops
Higher Tier: 340 mm (13.4 inch) - deeper rooted or more demanding crops
End Beds: 340 mm high; 1.2 m square
Total Growing Space: 40 square feet of deep growing space and 8 square feet of shallower growing space in the 170 mm high beds. This adds up to about 5 square metres of space.
Version 2:
Lower Tier: 340 mm
Higher Tier: 510 mm
End Beds: 510 mm high; 1.2 m square
Total Growing Space: 40 square feet of 510 mm deep growing space and 8 square foot of 340 mm growing space
We recommend the deeper bed for growing deep rooted crops like carrots and parsnips, especially if the bed is to be placed on a hard surface like a garden patio.
Attaching Covers
The Urban Garden Kit can also be supplied with tall integral corner posts as an option for attaching a support mesh for climbing crops like peas and beans. Please call the office for more details.
Assembly
Supplied in an easy to assemble flatpack kit with all fixings included.
