A compact timber planter box on wheels with a trellis and pot shelf. The box is 81 cm long and 60 cm wide and sits at 50 cm, about knee height, with a galvanised steel mesh trellis along the back and braked castors underneath.
It ships Australia-wide as a flat-pack kit, about 80% built with the holes pre-drilled. Our tools pack has the bits and a spanner; you bring a drill. Allow just over an hour with the wheels and trellis.
Why a planter on wheels with a trellis?
Because a green screen is more useful when it moves. Roll it to the sun in winter, aside for the barbecue, or back against the rail when the wind gets up. The low 50 cm box also gives climbers a long run up the mesh.
How do the wheels work?
Four braked castors: two fixed and two that swivel. They roll best on hard, flat ground like decks, pavers and concrete. Once the box is full of potting mix it's heavy, so move it slowly and put the brakes on when it's parked.
The pot shelf holds seedlings and herbs. Inside, a recycled plastic tub holds the potting mix, so the MCA treated hoop pine frame stays dry.

What do I fill it with?
Quality potting mix straight into the tub. No base layers or crushed rock needed. Capacity: 23cm Depth = 55 litres, 35cm Depth = 110 litres, 41cm Depth 135 litres. 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?
Yes. It rolls on heavy-duty outdoor castors (280 kg combined capacity, 400 kg on the 41 cm-deep LARGE): one fixed pair, one 360° swivel pair with brakes. Best on hard, flat surfaces like decks, pavers and concrete.
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.
How hard is the assembly?
Kits arrive around 80% pre-assembled. Most people are done in about 30 minutes. Bring your own drill and a mallet; every screw and bolt is in the box, plus our tools pack with the bits and a 13mm spanner. Step-by-step Assembly Guides are here, full details in Assembly & Tools below, and we’re happy to talk you through it on the phone any time.
Garden Bed Kit Assembly Made Easy
Your kit turns up about 80% built. We do as much as we can in the shed and still pack it flat, so you’re bolting together a few big pieces, not hundreds of bits. If you’ve used a drill before, you’ll be right.
Quick Assembly Times
- Basic garden bed kit assembly: 30 minutes
- Adding castors: +15 minutes
- Adding a trellis: +20 minutes
What to BYO
- A drill. An impact driver is even better for the screws.
- A mallet or hammer.
- For a trellis, a G clamp helps, but you can do without.
What’s in our tools pack
- A hex bit
- A Phillips head bit
- A 13mm spanner
- A couple of spare bolts and screws
The screws and bolts for the build come in their own labelled bags, and the QR code on the hardware box takes you to the step-by-step guide. Every guide is also on our Assembly Guides page.
