A compact elevated gardening box, 24 by 11 by 18 in overall, with a 6 in planting depth rated to hold 44 lbs of soil. That combination is aimed squarely at the plants most people actually want within reach: flowers, herbs, vegetables and fruits that root shallowly and get picked often, rather than deep crops that need a foot of soil. The narrow 11 in width means it fits along a wall or a rail line where a full bed would not. Standing on legs is what changes the daily experience. The soil comes up to a height that removes the painful kneeling and bending a ground-level border demands, and the same lift keeps the planting away from animals that browse at ground level. A drainage hole in the base prevents water-logging so the roots stay healthy rather than sitting in standing water after rain. The metal panels are what carry it. They resist weather and rust through a full season outdoors, sturdy screws hold the structure without breaking or stripping during assembly, and the top edges are rolled over rather than left as cut sheet, so reaching into the box does not scratch a hand. Footpads under each leg spread the load to stop the frame sinking into soft ground or slipping on a hard surface. Empty, the whole thing weighs just 8 lbs on its legs.
