We didn't think we could make our best-selling 2' x 8' Elevated Planter Box any better — but that didn't stop us from trying! In addition to the huge harvests, good looks, and durable materials this planter box is already known for, we supercharged this planter with self-watering convenience!
Perfect for deck or patio growing, this generously sized garden box with a 10" planting depth supports bountiful harvests of veggies, fruits, flowers, and herbs! At 29" high, it's also the perfect height for no-bend gardening, so you can grow and tend more comfortably. For even more successful growing, we added 20 gallons of self-watering capacity from 4 connected reservoirs, extending time between waterings and creating more even moisture throughout the bed. In tests, our crops grew stronger, taller, and faster!
Like our other Vermont-made raised beds, the sides are held in place with our rust-proof, industrial-strength Lifetime aluminum corners—and in winter 2025, we added a pair of center legs for extra strength. The slatted base allows excess water to drain through.
For best results, we recommend filling with 18 bags of our premium potting mixes:
- Organic Raised Bed Mix (20 qts.)
- Self-Watering Potting Mix (20 qts.)
- Organic Self-Watering Potting Mix (20 qts.)
- Cedar (sides); Powder-coated aluminum (corners); Polypropylene, PVC, Silicone (reservoir)
- 94" L x 24" W x 29" H
- 4 self-watering reservoirs are 22" sq. x 4.5" H and hold 5 gal. each
- Planting depth: 10"
- Soil capacity: 360 quarts (12 cubic feet) of potting mix
- Reservoir capacity: 20 gallons
- Note: Planter boxes cannot hold regular garden soil, topsoil, sand, clay, or rocks. Please use potting mix only.
- Assembly required
