Specification depth
Four build details that decide whether a bed lasts three seasons or eight
A raised bed is a water-trap. We engineer around that: drainage gap at the base rail, liner that does not seal the wood, corner brackets that carry the soil load instead of the screws, and a board thickness that survives a winter of frozen compost pushing outward.
- Board thickness: 16 mm for budget retail, 20 mm for standard, 28 mm T&G for premium and 40 mm for structural beds over 600 mm deep.
- Liner: 300 g non-woven geotextile or 0.2 mm LDPE with drainage perforation; food-safe PEVA available for herb and vegetable lines.
- Corner brackets: 1.5 mm galvanised L-bracket (standard), 2 mm powder-coated steel, or hidden dowel for a clean look.
- Screw path: pre-drilled and countersunk, stainless option for coastal and for markets selling 'veg-safe' claims.
- Carton engineering: 1200 × 660 × 140 mm, 23 kg, one bed per carton, no loose boards — this is what makes parcel delivery viable for online sellers.
- Optional extras: cold-frame lid, trellis add-on, irrigation drip rail, castor base, brass name plate for hospitality.

FAQ
Category questions we get in every RFQ thread
The answers below are the ones we give on the phone. Anything missing, ask on WhatsApp.
Will a flat-pack bed survive a parcel network?
Yes if it is designed as a parcel, not a de-palletised retail unit. We pack one bed per carton at 23 kg max, with 40 mm foam at board ends and a rigid cardboard sleeve for the corner brackets, and we drop-test to ISTA 3A before you approve the design. Damage claims on this line have run below 0.8 % across 24 shipments.
Is treated timber safe for growing vegetables?
ACQ is accepted for vegetable beds in most markets provided there is a liner barrier between soil and timber; we recommend our food-safe PEVA liner for herb and root-vegetable lines and quote an alternative, untreated larch or thermally modified pine. At 8–15 % more. We will not print an organic-input claim on your behalf; certification bodies disagree on treated timber and it must be your call.
Can you do charred (yakisugi) or ribbed modern facings?
Yes. Charring is done in-house on pine and spruce boards, brushed and oiled, class 3 durability without chemical treatment. Ribbed/fluted facings are machined on our moulder. Both are popular for hotel and restaurant patios and let you retail a plain box at a design-object price.
What is the cheapest way to test the market?
Start at 100 pcs of one size in two finishes. A 200-piece trial is our usual entry order, and we will hold a 30-day price on the timber. Second orders at 500 pcs per size drop FOB roughly 9–14 %; we will show you the unit-cost curve before you commit.
