A compact timber planter box kit 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 for climbers.
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 about 50 minutes with the trellis.
Why a planter box with a trellis?
Climbers need something to grab. Because the box is only 50 cm high, beans, cucumbers or a flowering vine get nearly the whole trellis to climb. Stand it against a balcony rail or a bare wall and it becomes a green screen that grows food too.
What's the pot shelf for?
Herbs and seedlings, kept close and off the ground in the same small footprint as the box.
Inside, a recycled plastic tub holds the potting mix and the water, so the MCA treated hoop pine frame stays dry. Pick a 23 cm tub for herbs and lettuce, 35 cm for most veggies, or 41 cm for root crops.
Want to move it? The wheeled version with trellis rolls on braked castors. Want it waist-high? Try the 80 cm raised garden bed kit with trellis.

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?
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.
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.

- 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.
