Raised Garden Beds For Growing Vegetables

We've re-designed our 'Premier' range of raised garden beds. We decided to go for a chunkier version of the hugely popular 'Classic' bed made with a much thicker 35mm timber for extra strength if you need it and a longer life. Some peoples raised beds can be subject to heavy knocks from passers by, garden tools or machinery, and vegetable growers may be using theirs for multiple crops in any season. These people require a heavier stronger type of timber which is able to take the wear and tear. Along with being very aesthetically pleasing, these are just some of the reasons Quickcrop designed and manufacture thicker timber growing systems like our "Premier" range. Like all our raised beds, the premier range is very easy to assemble and comes with all the screw necessary and full instructions. Click here for more information on raised beds.

Choose Your Size:
We supply these raised garden beds in flatpack kits in a range of sizes from 3ft x 3ft up to 12ft x 4ft. You can choose the required size to fit your garden by clicking the BED SIZE tab above the add to cart button.

Longer Life Raised Vegetable Beds From Quickcrop

All our beds are made from timber cut and treated to our specification in our our local sawmills. The preservative used is certified by the soil association safe for use with organic food crops and does not horribly discolour or leave a nasty smell or feel on the wood. A lot of other raised bed manufacturers treat their wood and then cut it to size in an effort to save time and costs. This leads to untreated ends on the timber that suck up moisture and become prone to rot and warp. Our timber is pressure treated after it has been cut to size, leaving no part of the raised bed kit untreated. This helps them last for many years of intensive vegetable gardening.

Very happy with my raised bed which I am converting into a run for my tortoise. There was a minor issue with a plank of wood which the company replaced very quickly. I was able to put the bed together alone and all fixings appeared to be of great quality. I’m that happy that I have ordered a second one to extend the run.

Love love love my new raised bed. Everything from ordering to delivery and assembly was really easy. Can't wait for Spring

Michael Jacobs

Great quality timber - much more robust and better finished than the typical garden centre offerings. Deducted one star because there were no screws or instructions included. Not a huge deal as its pretty obvious and I had plenty of screws in the toolbox.

Strong, sturdy raised bed. Easy to put together, everything supplied. Loved the bags of sweets enclosed with it :)

The beds are great, arrived promptly. Easy enough to put together once you have an electric screwdriver (you do need this).

George Downes
August 10th, 2017

This bed is easy to assemble providing you have an electric screwdriver. I can't imagine using a manual screw driver to do it however as the wood is so thick. This speaks well of the quality of timber used in the construction however. I'll be primarily using this bed in conjunction with my 14 inch bed as a salad bed. The delivery time was very impressive as well.

A simple structure , easy to assemble , no screws included and quite long screws are required, I had them to hand, but I would think many people would not, a trip to the local DIY for screws would be a frustration .

I got this raised bed because I really liked the look of the picture above, I thought it looked fantastic against the stones. I have it outside now near the shed. I hope to see something coming up in the next week or so. A really sturdy little raised bed. thanks!!

I haven't made the bed yet on account of bad weather but it looks good with clear instructions. Delivery was 3 days even though I ordered late in the evening. Very good, looking forward to growing when the weather improves!

Does exactly what is says on the tin. Very happy with the quality and thickness of the timber for the price. The kids loved the free jellies, a nice touch, I will be back to purchase more in the futire.

Ask a Question

Asked By Barbara
on October 14th, 2020

Are the measurements you give the size of each plank (i.e. a 6ft plank and a 3ft plank)or the size of the beds when assembled? If the latter is that interior or exterior? Many thanks, Barbara

Answered by Niall
on October 15th, 2020

Hi Barbara It is the size of the bed when build and it is the exterior of the beds. That said you can build the bed 2 ways. One with the end boards on the inside of the side boards or with the end board on to the side boards. This makes a difference of about 2 inches in assembly to the outer size of the beds Niall Quickcrop

Asked By Trevor
on September 17th, 2020

Hi. I'm thinking of getting some raised vegetable beds at the best price.The dimensions I'm thinking are 9inch x 1.25inch by 6x4 feet. Is there a difference in how the premier veg beds and flower beds of these dimensions are made and treated as the price is different? Also it seems that if I purchased the timber individually, rather than in a kit, the saving would be greater still. I'll be grateful for your advice.

Answered by Niall
on September 17th, 2020

Hi Trevor The flower beds and raised beds are the same. This difference in price obviously needs to be looked at so thank you for pointing this out. Buying the boards seperately is a cheaper way to do it but remember that they don't come as a pack with instructions or screws. That said it is not very hard to work it out Niall Quickcrop

Asked By Alison Loring
on August 31st, 2020

What depth should i get for root veg .pls

Answered by Niall
on August 31st, 2020

Hi Alison Realistically for root veg like carrots, parsnips, potatoes you need at least 10 inches of soil depth. So we normally suggest our 14 inch beds. As the soil will settle to 12 inches giving you plenty of depth Niall Quickcrop

Asked By Elizabeth
on June 04th, 2020

I was hoping to purchase two 3x12 9in high bed for soft fruit. Just have 2 queries - this isn't too narrow for full grown plants is it? Also - how many raspberry / blackberry plants would in fit in each?

Answered by Andrew
on June 04th, 2020

Hi Elizabeth. A 3ft bed will be ideal for soft fruit. I would keep a row of raspberries to 2ft wide in an open garden, Blackberries are trained along wires in centre of bed so plenty big enough for them also.

Asked By John Robertson

I have just received my order for 2off Premier 6 x 4ft 9in High Raised Garden Beds, unfortunately I am missing 4x wooden corner posts ( 2 from each bed kit) and a pack of screws, so cant assemble them yet. Can you tell me when I will receive the missing items. Thanks John

Answered by Niall
on May 19th, 2020

Hi John Really sorry about this. Can i ask you to email our customer service at enquiry@quickcrop.co.uk and they will sort this for you straight away Niall Quickcrop

Asked By Dr Patricia Hind

I have received my 3 x premier 21in tall raised beds (order no. 33962) thankyou. unfortunately no screws came with it. can you let me know when to expect them? also can you is 1sq m of soil about right for this size of bed?

Answered by Niall
on May 04th, 2020

Hi Patricia I will arrange them to go out today and apologies for this. They must have come off in transit. Yes 1 tonne bag for each of the beds is what you need Niall Quickcrop

Asked By Shirley
on April 28th, 2020

Hi, I have just received three raised beds but note no hardware or instructions supplied. I have watched the video which seems fine but wonder what size screws should be used & should they have been supplied, many thanks & regards

Answered by Niall
on April 29th, 2020

Hi Shirley They certainly should have been included so must have come off in transit i am afraid. I can have them sent out straight away however i don't know your full name or order number. Can i ask you to email us through the contact page on the website and our customer service team will sort this straight away Niall Quickcrop

Asked By Nicole
on March 24th, 2020

How much are the 4c4x9 beds? It doesn’t seem to give me an option to choose the size when I’m paying for it

Answered by Niall
on March 24th, 2020

Hi Nicole That is because we are presently out of stock. They should be back in stock towards the end of the week Niall Quickcrop

Asked By Anne
on January 02nd, 2020

Hi, I want to grow tomatoes, mainly in a greenhouse but in a bed that can also be brought outdoors - so want one that we can attach wheels to. What would you recommend? Thanks, Anne

Answered by Niall
on January 02nd, 2020

Hi Anne We don't have any beds on wheels due to the weight of the soil. However you can bring on tomato plants in Growbags which we have and once the plants have established to about 2ft you can lift the bags outside and they will continue to grow. Niall Quickcrop

Asked By Elizabeth
on November 03rd, 2019

Is the 9 inch raised beds deep enough for salad crops - lettuce, spring onions, radish? The rest of my raised beds are deeper which I use for vegetables but i'm wondering if I can get away with a lower bed for some veg/salad.

Answered by Niall
on November 04th, 2019

Hi Elizabeth A 9 inch bed is perfect for salads, spring onions, radish and to be honest most veg except for root crops (potatoes, carrots, parsnips etc) Niall Quickcrop

Asked By Sophie
on June 09th, 2019

Hi I was wondering how many 50l bags of soil would you need for the 12x4 bed

Answered by Niall
on June 10th, 2019

Hi Sophie A bed of this size will take 950 litres of soil which i am afraid to say is 19 of the 50 litre bags. You would be much better off getting one of the tonne bulk bags to fill this bed Niall Quickcrop

Asked By Kate Mee
on May 09th, 2019

Hi We have an allotment and are looking to do raised beds on two sections measuring 375cm x 140cm. Please advise if we can do two raised beds of 12ft x 4 ft or need 4 beds of 6 x 4 ft.

Answered by Niall
on May 09th, 2019

Hi Kate The 12ft beds we supply are typically 2 of the 6fts just fixed together. However you can have the centre board covered with soil so it looks like 1 long bed. The reason you need to centre fixings on a 12ft is down to the fact that the wood in the centre will bow with the weight of the soil if it is not supported Niall Quickcrop

Asked By Jack Crompton
on April 25th, 2019

I see from one of your replies that screws are included. Yet in a couple of the reviews customers have complained that screws were NOT included. Please clarify.

Answered by Niall
on April 25th, 2019

Hi Jack Screws and instructions are part of the kit. You might have read older reviews where screws had come off in transit but where this happened we always send them on. Be assured if you order a raised bed it will come with screws and instructions as we have improved our packaging so they don't fall out. Niall Quickcrop

Asked By Simon
on February 12th, 2019

Hi, I read your reply to Andy's question below but I'm still not clear about the longer bed options. If I order a "12ft x 3ft" will I get enough boards for two 6ft beds that I could make up separately or is it one long bed with a join halfway along? And the "8ft x 3ft"? Many thanks.

Answered by Megan
on February 13th, 2019

Hi Simon - for 12' beds they are supplied as two 6' boards for either side and we can supply you with enough corner posts to set these up separate or together. For 8' beds this will be one 8' board. If you need more info please feel free to contact me directly at meg.quickcrop@gmail.com. Thanks, Meg - Quickcrop

Asked By Andy Macdonald
on November 05th, 2018

Hi, with regards to bed size you show 12ft x 4ft @ £119.95, yet you say you not deliver longer than 6ft. Presumably made up of x2 6ft x4ft? If so it works out cheaper if I buy 12ft x 4ft rather than x2 6ft x 4ft which works out at £139.90 yes? Cheers Andy

Answered by Niall
on November 05th, 2018

Hi Andy You are correct on both fronts. The 12ft x 4ft should show as slightly cheaper than if you buy the bed in two 6ft sections but the pricing in wrong on the site it should be £129.95 for the 12ft x 4ft. I will leave it at that price for a day or two before adjusting if you want to avail of the mistake we have made on the pricing Regards Niall Quickcrop

Asked By Kevin
on April 27th, 2018

Do the boards come with the fixing holes already drilled?

Answered by Niall
on April 27th, 2018

Hi Kevin No they are not pre-drilled however it is very easy to drive the screws through the wood as it is a treated soft wood. Comes with the instructions and screws provided. Regards Niall Quickcrop

Asked By Philip Purcell
on March 27th, 2018

Am I correct in reading that I can get a raised bed in 12ft by 2ft kits, 9inch high ?

Answered by Niall
on March 28th, 2018

Thats right Philip. They are made up of 2 x 6ft beds fixed together. A 12ft board would be to long and would bow with the weight of the soil so they need support across the mid section hence the two beds fixed together Regards Niall Quickcrop

Asked By Kathleen Kelly
on February 12th, 2018

How much soil would I need to fill a 14 inch high 8ft x 6ft raised bed?

Answered by Niall
on February 12th, 2018

Hi Kathleen. As this is quite a large bed it will take roughly 1400 litres to fill from top to bottom. That said you only need very good quality soil mix on the top 9/10 inches of the bed for good vegetables so 850/900 litres of good soil mix on top would be sufficient.

Asked By Tecwyn Savage
on November 05th, 2017

I'm thinking of buying a couple of raised bed kits, together with some Grow Grid mats, but I find that the sizes don't appear to match! The beds are shown in Imperial, but mats all seem to be 1.5m wide. You also suggest that it's no a good idea to cut the mats, so how do I get around this problem? I suppose I could buy the mats and build my own beds.

Answered by Andrew
on November 07th, 2017

Hi Tecwyn The mats are 1.5 wide and our standard beds are 1.2 wide. We can make a custom size up for you if you wish to build a 1.5 bed, just let me know and I will put together a quote for you. If you would like to email us directly on quickcrop@gmail.com I will attend to this straight away. Andrew

Asked By Lesley Easton
on April 13th, 2017

Is it possible to purchase a 4' x 3' bed in the premier range, 9" high?

Answered by Andrew
on April 18th, 2017

Hi Lesley. We don't offer a 4x3 as a standard bed but you can order any parts separately so can easily build your own. I include the link to the relevant page: https://www.quickcrop.ie/product/raised-bed-builder-for-premier-raised-beds

Asked By Patricia Dobson
on February 10th, 2017

How much soil do I need for the 6ft x 4ft bed? Many thanks.

Answered by Andrew
on February 13th, 2017

Hi Patricia. If it is a 14 inch high bed you will need 790 litres of soil. If it is a 21 inch bed 1150 litres of soil

Asked By jill ensell
on May 26th, 2016

Do they need "spikes" to fix them in the ground?

Answered by Andrew
on May 31st, 2016

Hi Jill. The beds don't need spikes to fix them into the ground as the weight of soil in the raised bed will hold them in place.

Asked By Michael Pink
on March 16th, 2016

Are you able to supply larger sizes, I'm looking for a 4ft x 8ft raised bed? Many thanks

Answered by Andrew
on March 16th, 2016

Hi Michael. Thank you for your question. Due to transport issues the longest boards we supply are 6ft long however we can transport 8ft at an additional charge. If you could phone the office we can work out a price for you on exactly what you need.

Asked By Fiona McHallem
on February 07th, 2016

Hi What is the timber treated with? How environmentally safe is it and how safe is it fir food growing?

Answered by Andrew
on February 08th, 2016

Thank you for your question Fiona. The wood is treated with Tanalith E which is certified by the soil association as fine for use when growing Organic food close to the soil. It is both perfectly fit for use when growing food and slows down the weathering of the wood so good for the environment.
