With shade cover, we plan to start our winter lettuce, arugula scallions, rradishes and spinach
several weeks earlier than normal.

Comments about Cedar Raised Bed:
This frame is solid and assembles in 5 minutes with no problems. If you are going to use it with the mini-greenhouse, you will need to file the edges of the metal corner connectors smooth.This keeps the cover from tearing. A really good foundation for multiple garden projects. I use mine for starting seeds and then cover it with the greenhouse for a late vegtable garden.

Comments about Cedar Raised Bed:
Assembly is pretty easy, you can have the frame finished and ready to use in 10 minutes or less.
The frame is OK, but you don't get much for the price. The best feature is the integrated coldframe with legs that fit into the holes in the corner pieces. If you don't need the coldframe you may want to do some more comparison shopping.

Comments about Cedar Raised Bed:
Great product. I ordered two. Put both together in less than 15 minutes with an electric screwdriver. They also look great.

Comments about Cedar Raised Bed:
This is a nice bed. I bought it specifically for the cold frame attachment.
This year, I put a second smaller raised bed on top so I can grow larger vegetables. This is its second year in use and it looks a bit faded, but still very functional.
This is the raised bed in action.

Comments about Cedar Raised Bed:
Easy to assemble. Cedar is a good choice for long lasting use and a barrier for insects. One hole on one of the corner pieces was not pre-drilled. Hard to get access for a portable drill to install screws. It was easier to install screws by hand.

Comments about Cedar Raised Bed:
Has a solid design but would have been a whole heck of a lot easier to assemble if it had just had pilot holes!! If I had carpentry skills I wouldn't need a prefab kit! Hopefully my assembly mistakes won't jeopardize durability.

Comments about Cedar Raised Bed:
Plant fall plants that extend into winter, like chard and spinach which will usually last in this area but not well, am hoping it will protect enough to keep going better through winter

Comments about Cedar Raised Bed:
This is my first year with a vegetable garden and these hardy cedar, raised beds looked like a great idea to me because I live in a city with rock hard, red clay soil. They are easy to make and I've stapled chicken wire to the bottom to keep out burrowing animals, doubled them, making them 14 inches high, to keep out family pets and sports-minded children, and filled them with many vegetable seedlings in "square foot gardening" style. Planting and weeding is as easy as sitting on the edge of the beds at this height. So far all is going well. With a few of the matching cold frames, I hope to be working right into winter.

Comments about Cedar Raised Bed:
Very compact gardening space that can accommodate quite a few plants thus producing high vegetable yields.

Comments about Cedar Raised Bed:
It was really easy to put together except when I realized I did not receive the screws or caps that were suppose to come with it. However, I prevailed and made do....still works great and can't wait til I can get another one.

Nice cedar, and easy set-up.
from Stowe, VT on 11/20/2008
Comments about Cedar Raised Bed:
We abandoned our garden bed after fourteen years and are switching to raised beds; I built two myself and bought this one from GS. It was straightforward (not easier) to put together, as sturdy, and with the cold frame/mini-green house on top makes me psyched to start my eggplant in April. I am very happy with it, although I'd recommend a different system than wood screws to attach the 2 x at the joints.

Comments about Cedar Raised Bed:
I have enjoyed my raised cedar bed so far. I had difficulty locating cedar at lumber stores in the past, so I was happy to find this kit online. My seedlings are doing well and I intend to use the cold frame once the weather turns. My only complaint is that the width is too wide for smaller gardeners. A foot shorter in width and a foot longer in length would have been more ergonomical.

Comments about Cedar Raised Bed:
I purchased this cedar raised bed with cold frame along with both covers to extend my vegetable growing season. Just started last month (7/08) but so far so good. It would have been nice if the instructions included how much soil you would need.

We have had great success using these raised beds for our no-dig gardens.
