Our most popular raised garden bed�and it�s easy to see why! There is so much versatility in what you can grow and the designs you can achieve. Tool-free snap-lock joints make it simple to install. As pictured, your 11-inch-high raised garden gives you lots of depth to grow both underground veggies like carrots, radishes and turnips, as well as tall plants like tomatoes, corn or sunflowers. With 32 square feet of available planting area this may be all the garden you will ever need, or it�s a great garden to gain some experience with before you expand your garden larger or taller.
Your kit comes with everything you need except the soil and plants. Each modular kit includes thirteen of our 2� Classic Sienna composite boards, and twelve 2� snap-lock stacking brackets. The insulating open-channel boards trap air, providing insulation to your soil. Keeps soil warmer in the Spring and Fall, and cooler in the Summer, so you can grow for an extended period. Stacking brackets allow you to install the second layer of your garden just by inserting the stakes into the brackets below. Your two-level garden is also fortified by the inclusion of a Tool-Free Snap-Lock 4-Way Bracing Bracket and an additional board to brace your garden against frost push-out and keep it perfectly square and true.
Our patented snap-lock brackets simply slide onto each end of a board and fasten securely with snap-lock buttons. Brackets pivot 270 degrees, allowing endless design options. Your 4� x 8� x 11� two-level raised bed can be converted to two 4� x 8� x 5.5� raised beds if that suits your needs more directly. You can also change the shape from a rectangle to a hexagon, either as a two-level bed, or two one level beds (you�ll have 1 board left over). You could also create three 4� x 4� x 5.5� square gardens, or four triangle gardens�as you can see the options are endless!
As your garden needs and expertise grow you can add on to your modular raised bed any time by purchasing additional 2� tool-free kits, boards and anchor or stacking brackets to stack or extend your garden. Curved 2� boards are also available to incorporate into your design.
