I purchased the Raised Garden Beds Tanalised Timber in the size 2.4m (8ft) x 1.2m (4ft). But I noted there are a multitude of size options. I stacked three sets on top of each other, using long corner brackets inside, to create four high raised beds inside my polytunnel. I wanted tanalised timber to prolong the lifespan but because of that, I stapled a raised bed liner inside before filling with compost and grit. I did find the wood slightly rough but a quick sand with an electric sander smoothed out the splinters. I placed another order today for another set of three, to make one more raised bed to place outside my polytunnel.

I Bought two of these last year. They were easy to assemble and looked good. After nearly a year in my garden they are still a good condition and there are no issues to report. I'm just about to buy more.

I bought 5 of the raised bed kits and found the boards to be of a good thickness with good quality accessories to put it all together. Mine have been going strong for 3 years now, with no sign of the deterioration you get with some raised bed kits.

I bought two of these to stack, together with the heavy duty brackets and posts. They are excellent quality, fitted together well, and stacked neatly. I have high hopes they will last a good long time.

Just received 11 raised bed kits, happy to say they are cut then tantalised not the other way around like some on the market, timber quality is first class, a good thickness. They will receive rough weather here in Cornwall And I intend lining them with heavy grade polythene to give them a boost, time will tell but I suspect they will last 20 years.

I've perchaced 6 garden raised beds from Scaffolding Direct in Febuary and they were delivered within a fill weeks as they said they would. they are beautiful and just what i need for my new veg garden. I will be buying a couple more soon. Thank you.

Perfect - well treated, sturdy, straight. Happy gardener.

With the caveat that longevity is yet to be tested, these beds are very good. Thickness of the board is exceptional. I bought 6 kits to make into 3 beds, double stacked. 18 corner posts to support. I only needed screws for the post attachment. Everything else is there and the squareness and accuracy of the cuts is spot on.

These boards are thicker than expected and the method of preservation specified. I am gradually changing all my existing beds to Scaffolding Direct ones as they come to replacement. Their expected life is some 3 times that of those I currently use. On more or less flat ground I can use one 8 x 4 bed on its own. On a slope, two 8 x 4 beds stack very successfully. They really are an excellent product.
