The planting box on this bed sits 29 in off the ground and the whole structure runs 63 in tall, which puts the soil at waist height and the trellis well above it. Working at that height prevents the pain of kneeling or bending over a ground-level bed, and it is also what shields plants from potential damage caused by small animals that would otherwise reach the crop. The box measures 47 in by 24 in on the outside with a 45-in by 20-in by 9-in interior, giving 4.7 cu ft of soil and a 176-lb capacity, room enough for cultivating various plants from vibrant flowers to fresh vegetables in one continuous run. Drainage holes through the base let excess water leave and promote aeration, which is what keeps roots healthy rather than waterlogged. Above the box a lattice trellis provides robust support for climbing plants and hanging baskets, and it fixes in place with included ropes so the connection stays secure rather than relying on the wood joint alone. Construction is robust fir wood, warp-resistant and sturdy enough to hold its shape season after season, and delicate craftsmanship leaves smooth splinter-free surfaces on every handling edge. Slotted legs make the 31.5-lb unit easy to set up and resist deforming or cracking. Left natural the grain suits most settings, and the surface also takes paint in different colors or patterns. A user manual is included.
