Composite Lumber

What a hobby! The cost to assemble a two tiered, six sided raised bed with commercial(bagged)soil @ 29 cu.ft. with a vine support system and pest chaser was over $500. How many years worth of Heatwave determinate hybrid tomatoes will it take to recover the costs of the project?

[...] Not attractive at all.

Actually had an earlier version of this already in use. The current version has a woodgrain look which is nice. Easy product to work with. Just be careful as the product is hollow (with internal supports) so you can put a hole in the exterior if you get careless and drop something heavy on it. Otherwise gets the job done and should never need replacing. It is expensive but if you can afford it and desire something permanent this can be a good choice. Given four stars instead of five primary due to price.

Blends in well with mulch and flower beds; easy to use with connectors and corners. I love that it is environmentally friendly!

I don't look at it as lumber since it is hollow. It does assemble easily with an electric or battery powered drill. I don't know about durability since I only put it in this year.
Harder to remove the sticky labels.

I am using the composite lumber with the raised bed corners as the newest raised bed in my vegetable garden. It was perfect in fit, and I couldn't believe how quickly the two items fit together and were ready for soil. I plan to replace the other wooden beds with these two products since after their several seasons the wood is beginning to rot. Because these were so light, I don't have to dred the labor that it took to do the older wooden beds.

Use as a temporary seed starting bed. Hollow boards make catching sluges and pill-bugs a snap!
I wish they looked a bit more realistic.

A little pricey

This is a terrific product. I don't know why Gardener's Supply seems to offer it only occasionally. The 6" height of the boards is ideal for most veggies. The other raised beds offered that are 10" require too much soil for shallow rooted veggies.
