In addition to squares and rectangles, you can use our Raised Bed Corners and In-Line Connectors to create other configurations. You can also create two-tier beds, using our Raised Bed Stake, an aluminum post that fits inside of the Raised Bed Corners and/or In-Line Connectors.
Each of the designs featured here can be created using 6", 8" or 10" connectors. You can buy our cedar boards, or provide your own lumber. Our connectors are made to fit boards in standard dimensional sizes. Cedar is best because it's naturally insect- and rot-resistant. If you use pine or another softwood, treat it with a nontoxic wood preservative to prevent rot. Do not use pressure-treated lumber if you are going to grow vegetables or other edible plants. Treated wood can leach chemicals into the soil and your crops.
Keep in mind these two points before you get started:
