Raised bed kits

Posted by John F on February 16, 2026 at 10:32am in Landscaping

Just curious has anyone used or during the course of their work come across the cedar and aluminium corner reinforced raised bed kits .? 

In various sizes they look fit for purpose and reasonably priced .

I like the concept once planted up full of veg and plants on patios in small gardens they look decorative .

Just wondering if the cedar is durable enough to last at least Three years or longer before succumbing to rot or best to just plant out in big resin  garden pots .

Have used sleepers previously but a bit overkill in small areas or any other suggestions welcome .

Thanks

    Ive never used the kits. I use 9inch by 2ich larch gravel boards, I line them with sheet plastic or membrane they last over ten years.

        Built may last year.

        Each bed 3m by 1.5m at customers request. A bit wide for my liking. 

        There was warping like ive never seen thanks to last years drought.
