Roll right up to it. A raised garden bed you can garden from your wheelchair, knees under, facing the bed.
Most raised beds make you park side-on and twist. This one is open underneath. There is no skirting on the long sides, just the top board, so your knees go under the bed and you garden facing it, the way you sit at a table.
Can I get my knees under it?
Yes. The 23 cm tub is curved, deepest in the middle and shallow at the edges. Its lowest point sits 680 mm off the ground, and the legs are only at the corners, with 1,320 mm clear between them.
Is it built to the standard?
We built it to the knee-room and leg-width figures in AS 1428.2, the Australian accessibility standard's clause for tables and benches: nothing below 650 mm in the first 200 mm under the front edge, at least 800 mm between the legs, and the back of the tub inside the 550 mm reach the standard allows across a bench top.
Why 90 cm high?
Any lower and your knees will not fit under the tub. Any higher and you are gardening with your arms up. At 90 cm the whole bed is within easy reach from your chair.
Will it suit me?
It suits most people in a manual wheelchair. If your chair has fixed full-length armrests, they may meet the top board before your knees are fully under; swing-away or desk-length arms are fine. If you garden side-on from your chair, or standing up, our 80 cm raised garden bed already suits you.
The 23 cm tub holds 110 litres of potting mix. Add braked castors to move it with the sun (it still stands 90 cm high on wheels), a growing mesh trellis with pot shelf, or a 1.6 m privacy screen.
Made in Queensland from MicroPro H3 treated pine, delivered assembled across SEQ. Pick your options above and it arrives ready to plant.

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. 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 — handles tomatoes, capsicums and most veggies while holding moisture well. 41 cm suits root veg like carrots and potatoes, plus potted citrus — best moisture retention, 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 drains through 12 mm holes at every corrugation. 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 pine — built to resist both. If it’s going on grass or soil, 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.
