7.
Use a rubber mallet to tap an ASSEMBLED 2' PANEL into the open channel
of a CORNER, positioning the attached PLATFORM SUPPORT shown as
in
Fig. 2
. Make sure the top of the ASSEMBLED PANEL sits 1/8" above the
top of the CORNER and is fully seated inside, then insert SCREWS into the
holes in the CORNER and through the lined up holes in the ends of the
PLATFORM SUPPORTS. Repeat to attach the second ASSEMBLED 2' PANEL
to make a 3-sided box.
8.
Place the remaining side panel on a flat surface. Carefully lift the 3-sided
box and guide the ends of the ASSEMBLED 2' PANELS into the open
channels of the CORNERS. Insert SCREWS through the holes in both
CORNERS. Once all panels are attached, turn the box upright.
9.
Set the FLOOR PLANKS on top of the SUPPORTS, arranging them so there
are small gaps between the planks to allow water to drain. Then, place the FABRIC LINER over the FLOOR PLANKS.
10.
Insert a CORNER CAP into the top of each aluminum CORNER, using a rubber mallet if necessary. The raised bed assembly is now
complete!
This elevated raised bed has a 10" deep planting area and holds approx. 82 quarts of planting mix. Fill it with potting mix and, if
desired, some organic matter, such as compost. We also recommend adding a slow-release fertilizer like our Organic All-Purpose
Fertilizer (sold separately).
NOTE:
Avoid using a heavy potting soil or placing rocks and broken pottery into your Elevated Raised Bed.
Now you’re ready to plant!
