Read How to Build a Raised Sleeper Bed
Single-level raised beds are best for growing herbs and plants with shorter roots. Try vegetables such as cabbage, onions, lettuce and kale or smaller shrubs such as heather.
Double-level raised beds suit vegetables with longer roots such as peppers, tomatoes, carrots as well as fresh flowers and shrubs
Please note:
- This kit contains four full length sleepers which will form a square raised bed. If you need to cut the sleepers (to produce a different shaped bed) this can be done with a circular saw, although your local AVS branch may have the facility to do this for you. Always treat cut ends with Jakcure End Grain Treatment.
- Sleepers are machined from natural, organic timber that has not undergone any drying process. They will naturally season over time.
- As the timber dries, shrinkage will occur in different directions. This will develop a natural look and will not affect the integrity of your sleeper.
- Sleeper dimensions may vary slightly to sizes stated. They are not machined to an exact tolerance which helps gives them their individual, natural character.
- Please note to avoid shakes and splitting, these sleepers often have metal cam plates.
