Use this Aquacorner Soaker System to retrofit an existing raised bed made with our Raised Bed Corners. Soaker hoses are ideal because they apply water slowly, right at soil level so minimal water is lost to runoff and evaporation. And they encourage deep watering, which is best for healthy plant growth. The Aquacorner makes it so easy — just attach your garden hose to the bottom fitting and turn on the spigot. Each system includes one aluminum Aquacorner with internal plumbing, brass fittings and a spigot to control water flow; a faucet adapter with quick-connect water stop; 25' of soaker hose and an end cap. Choice of four heights: 6", 8", 10" and 12". (Note: To build a new bed, use our Aquacorner Raised Bed Soaker System.)
- Aquacorners are made of powder-coated aluminum with plastic cap, with brass fittings and attached spigot

I had three raised beds and bought an Aquacorner for each. Then I looked them together with hoses set up an automatic watering system with a timer. Now, watering my raised beds just happens!

Best Uses
- Raised beds
This product makes managing the watering of my raised beds so much easier.
Pros
- Easy to construct
- Looks great
Cons
- Cheap Hose
Best Uses
I've had 2 holes from in the soaker hose and keep having to cut down hoses. I finally bought my own soaked hoses for the beds. Save money and don't buy the aqua-corners, just buy the regular corners! Then supply your own hose.
Pros
- Easy and effective
Cons
Best Uses
I attached to corner of my raised vegetable bed; turn on the water every morning for 10-15 minutes. This couldn't be easier to keep my vegetables irrigated and standing tall!
I put this in my vegetable bed of corn and beans, it gets very hot here and I am able to control the watering of the plants easier. I also bought an extension to connect to another bed of vegetables.
Pros
- Convenient
- Quality materials
- Works as promised
Cons
Best Uses
- Raised bed garden
Used this instead of a regular corner in my raised bed and it has proven to be a very convenient way to ensure my garden gets the water it needs. The soaker is effective and the faucet is made of good quality materials. The corner was easy to install and attach to the cedar boards I bought at the lumber yard. It fit perfectly.
Pros
- Easy to assemble
- Novel design
Cons
- Hose connector too low
- Need to buy more corners
- Screw heads strip
Best Uses
- Existing raised beds
I bought this in early February before the website was updated. The way it was originally depicted, shoppers would have thought this would be a complete system, 1 aquacorner, 3 regular corners, and the hose/fittings. Perfect since I was building a new raised bed for asparagus this season. The shock was when I opened the box and only had 1 corner to work with.
When I called customer service to order the rest of the pieces, I recommended that the description be changed and/or sell it as a kit. Glad they took my advice, since it will help the next person.
I still had to buy 4 corners in order to complete my bed and pay shipping again. Another 2 week wait and the bed is now built and the asparagus is going in this weekend. It went together easily, though you might want different screws. The supplied screw heads stripped easily. Not a problem now but will be a bear when I take it apart down the road to replace rotten boards.
I really like the aquasoaker idea; however, the location of the outer connection is at the very bottom. I had to dig out a depression under that corner so the hose could reach. It's still raining in the NW so I haven't used the watering feature yet. Once summer arrives I'll know how well it works.
