Similar material has been widely used in water tanks, and Aluzinc steel is the most popular garden bed material in Australia. I wound up building another, skinnier bed for cucumbers with a trellis… which was a little tougher since the landscape in that spot still has roots from the tree removal. If anyone is struggling with that and would like a separate tutorial with some tips on getting a garden bed to work (somewhat) level on an uneven landscape, please let me know! Drill and drill bits (if you have one available, it’s faster to use one drill for pre-drilling, then an impact driver for driving all the screws… they’re often sold together in combo kits so if you don’t have these, I highly recommend them!) Galvanized steel is safe to use for a vegetable garden. Although it contains zinc, it does not leach into the soil in a way that may cause harm, which makes these beds completely safe to grow vegetables in. Besides, zinc is an essential micronutrient for plants and is a natural part of the soil. The advantages of using our sustainable, high-quality wood is its lasting durability and timeless elegant style.

If you’re struggling to keep your garden organised, the square foot gardening method can help. This technique involves dividing a 4′ x 4’ raised bed into 16 equal size sections. Each area can be used to grow an individual plant. Having worked on many successful landscaping projects with Property Developers and Landscape Architects across the UK and Europe, we know you can specify WoodBlocX in the knowledge that our system will match the most exacting standards. Maximize the amount of beds I could build with as little wood as possible (budget-conscious build as always!)Length- Raised beds can be any length, but are typically 12 feet or shorter, to allow for pathways between beds. Keep in mind that longer beds may be harder to level—short beds are easier on slopes.
