12" Raised Bed Stakes, Set of 2

Comments about 12" Raised Bed Stakes, Set of 2:

I have made 3x12 beds for bluleberries, raspberries and blackberries and made them 18" deep for the root systems. Instead of putting the pastic caps on the corners I will insert a pole down through the corners to facilitate wrapping netting around the bed to keep out the birds.

I bought an extra set of stakes and use one to pound in the stakes halfway down the connector and corners.....that way if you want to add "up" you can insert another stake on top of the one you pounded halfway into the ground.

Should be included with purchase/price of corner hardware

This does not set up as shown in the picture. I used it on two 24" corners. You have to drill holes through the corners into the stakes and secure with screws in order for it to be evenly in each corner.

I bought these stakes to "stack" two raised beds and make a deeper bed for my vegetable garden. The higher beds make it easier to plant and care for the vegetables. The stakes are just the right size and height to stack a set of corners on top of another to make a bed twice as high.

Much better way to stake down the composite lumber than some of the other choices out there (I have used others). Once the cap is installed this piece is not visible. Drives very easily but you should use a piece of lumber to buffer it from direct hammer impact as it will mushroom.

Made a 24" total height raised bed. Looks great. These pieces make the second layer stable.

I thought the 12 in raised bed stake would allow me to stack the 12 inch corners making a 24 inch high container. The stake barely protruded out of the corner and offered no structural support for the second corner. I cured the problem by back-filling the stake corner part way with gravel and proceeding. By the time the wood was screwed into the corners. All was strong and sturdy. In the past I have always relied on your products to be well thought out and pretty fool-proof. Maybe I didn't order the correct part or anticipated that something different would happen. My tomatoes don't seem to care and are happily growing in an abundance of good soil.

This didn't strengthen the corners of 24" raised bed using 12" corner connectors with 2"x12" boards as they are the same size as the connectors. They needed to be longer so they would connect two level to make the raised bed.

Made raised beds in an urban back yard, better planting space
