A large timber raised garden bed with a trellis and pot shelf, 157 cm long and 60 cm wide, with the planting surface at 80 cm. That's waist height, so you plant and pick standing up while beans, cucumbers and tomatoes climb the galvanised steel mesh behind.
We build it in our Lawnton workshop and deliver it assembled across Brisbane and South East Queensland, ready to fill.
Why a raised garden bed with a trellis?
Climbers need something to grab. They head up the mesh instead of sprawling, and as they fill out you get privacy, filtered light and shade. It softens a fence, screens the neighbours or shelters a seating area.
What's the pot shelf for?
Seedlings and potted herbs, close at hand. The front row of the bed is left for herbs and salad greens at easy picking height.
Would a privacy screen suit better?
If you want a raised garden bed with a privacy screen to block a view rather than grow climbers, choose the 1.6 m privacy screen option above. It runs horizontal timber slats up the back instead of the mesh, with no pot shelf.
A recycled plastic tub holds the potting mix and the water, so the MCA treated hoop pine frame stays dry. The 33 cm slatted option swaps the tub for a flat timber slat base, so your potted plants sit inside it. Want it to roll? There's a wheeled version with a trellis. Don't need the trellis?

What do I fill it with?
Quality potting mix straight into the tub. No base layers or crushed rock needed. Capacity: 23cm Depth = 110 litres, 35cm Depth = 220 litres, 41cm Depth 270 litres. In our SEQ delivery area we can even deliver it filled and ready to plant: add the Potting Mix Fill service. Full step-by-step: how to fill your raised garden bed.
How deep should your garden bed be?
23 cm is the budget pick, ideal for herbs, flowers, lettuce and other shallow-rooted plants (it dries out quickest, so it likes part shade or regular watering). 35 cm is the sweet spot most customers choose: it handles tomatoes, capsicums and most veggies while holding moisture well. 41 cm suits root veg like carrots and potatoes, plus potted citrus. It holds moisture best and is the heaviest when full.
Can I move it once it’s set up?
Empty, it’s an easy two-person lift. If you’ll want to chase the sun through the seasons, the wheels version rolls on braked castors: tap + Wheels under Mix & Match above.
Will my deck or balcony get wet underneath?
The tub has drainage holes in the base, so water drains out underneath. On a deck or balcony, add the Drainage Capture kit: it channels overflow away or straight into a watering can.
Will the timber rot or attract termites?
It’s arsenic-free MCA treated hoop pine, built to resist both. If it’s going on grass or bare ground, we recommend a paver or our protective feet under each leg to break the moisture and termite highway. Full guide: Care & Maintenance.
How often will I need to water?
Shallower tubs (23 cm) dry out faster in full sun; 35–41 cm hold moisture longer. The drip watering kit with timer makes it set-and-forget.
Do I have to assemble it?
No. In our SEQ delivery area we deliver it fully assembled to your backyard, ready to fill and plant.
