Installation tips
Assemble on a flat, level surface. For this large size, provide a central support beneath the long side rail to prevent it bowing under the weight of the soil. On soft ground, lightly anchor the corners with stakes to prevent slipping. Fill in 10 cm layers, firming down between layers – when filled to 20 cm, it holds approximately 350 to 400 kg of growing medium.
Care and protection
Douglas fir greys in 6 to 12 months without losing strength. Apply an exterior oil or wood stain once a year to preserve its colour. The screw-free assembly system makes it easy to dismantle for winter storage at the end of the season. Check that the unit is level each spring before filling it.
WoodUp tip
Before you buy: the nail- and screw-free assembly needs level ground for the boards to interlock correctly. For a 2 m² growing area filled to 20 cm (approximately 400 litres), allow for 200 to 440 kg depending on the mix used (dry lightweight compost, damp compost mix or garden soil). Plan to fill it in several stages. Extendable with 200x100 extension kits (ID 1108).
Frequently asked questions
Can this raised garden bed be installed directly on grass?
Yes. On grass, the vegetation beneath the raised bed will naturally die from lack of light. Laying geotextile at the bottom before filling prevents unwanted weeds from returning while allowing water to drain away.
Does a 200 cm raised bed need additional supports?
To prevent the long side rail bowing under soil pressure, place a brick or support block at the centre of each long side. This reinforcement is optional but recommended for fill depths over 15 cm.
Can this 200x100 raised bed be used alongside a 100x100 model?
Yes, the two sizes are independent and can be placed side by side. Each interlocking system works with its corresponding extensions, but the extensions are not interchangeable between sizes.
Is untreated Douglas fir really suitable for growing edible vegetables?
Yes. Untreated Douglas fir contains no chemical preservatives. It is commonly used in organic vegetable gardens in France. You need only expect it to grey gradually.
How deep should the soil be for tomatoes in this raised bed?
Tomatoes need a soil depth of at least 30 cm. Add one extension kit to reach 30 cm (base + 1 extension). For particularly vigorous varieties, 40 cm (base + 2 extensions) is recommended.
