With the rise in fresh food prices and people wanting vegetables free from pesticides we are seeing a rise in enquiries for our raised beds either in kit form for national delivery or assembled for local customers in the North West.

Our timber is the finest Scandinavian quality properly treated by tannalisation against the elements. The tannalised treatment leaves the timber green in colour which is pleasing to the eye. The treatment is safe for the job aswell as safe for children and animals. Popular in the allotments for years. Raised beds and table beds are ideal for city gardens and roof top gardens.

 These are ideal for wheelchair users, older folks or anyone for greater ease.

The timber is of such good quality that some customers request untreated timber as seen in the photos so they can varnish or stain or paint a different colour to match their garden theme.

Give us a call to enquire upon our size options and prices.

Remember its great fun for the children to be involved with such garden projects. Its great to know where your food for your family has come from.

We look forward to our call 0845 9000 234 or 0151 356 5000 or even better use our enquiry form especially out of hours.

 The specification can be altered to suit your requirements. For example if you require to dismantle the sheets at a later date, you may wish not to have a tight fitting joint so will require greater tolerance. You may wish to sand down the top surface at a later date, so you will require the centre of the tongue and groove to be lower. We can advise you on the best options to suit your requirements.

We have a lot of experience in this field and have completed some very large projects in a short time frame. We offer a National delivery service.
