Raised Vegetable Gardens Made Easy

Design and build a robust raised vegetable garden with ease. The patented Frame It All system makes building a raised vegetable garden a snap. You’ll only need a few tools and a little time and soon you’ll be enjoying the bountiful vegetables raised bed gardening can offer.

What you’ll need:
In addition to your Frame It All Composite Timbers, Anchored Joints and Stacking Joints, the only things you’ll need are some landscape fabric, a hammer, a tape measure and a screwdriver (electric or battery operated preferred).

Step 1: Find A Space
Find an open area, with the proper level of sunlight for the vegetables you want to grow. Check our Know And Grow Guide for vegetable-by-vegetable details. Make sure you have adequate space around the bed to be able to reach inside it for weeding and maintenance.

Step 2: Measure Your Bed
Measure out where you plan to place your bed. Make sure it’s big enough to accommodate the spatial needs of the vegetables you want to grow. Our Know And Grow Guide can help you determine what’s right for your chosen crops. Mark the area with stakes and string and lay out your Frame It All components to make sure you have everything you need.

Step 3: Assemble Timbers and Brackets
Frame It All Composite Timbers measure 44.5”. Slide your Composite Timber into the channel end of one of the brackets until it is centered and flush on all sides.  Use the supplied screws to fasten the Composite Timber to the bracket as shown in diagram 1. Repeat this process on the opposite end of the Composite Timbers flipping the bracket in the opposite direction as pictured in diagram 2 (this will save you time later when installing the Timbers). Repeat this process until all of your Composite Timbers are fully bracketed on both ends.

Step 4: Laying The Frame
Now lay out the base level of design with stake fins facing up as shown in diagram 3. Design adjustments should now be done if needed. Once the desired position of base level is achieved, turn stake fins facing down and hammer stakes into ground see diagram 4 (Note: Do not fasten cap unless level is finished). Do not hammer stake in too deep.     

Step 5: Stack Your Raised Vegetable Garden
If a tiered (multi-level) bed is desired, slide a second stake into all of the exposed tops of the in-ground level 1 stakes and put the level 2 Composite Timbers in place until level two is completed. See diagram 5 & 6 (Note: You can continue stacking additional levels until reaching your desired height).

Step 6: Finish The Frame
To finish the appearance of each joint and to secure the brackets over the stake, push or tap the supplied caps into the tops of the stakes until they snap in place. See diagram 7.

Step 7: Fill with Soil
Choose and order the right soil mixture for your desired plants. Our Know And Grow Guide can help you choose the right soil mixture. Generally speaking, you’ll need 1 yard of soil to fill 50 Square Feet to a depth of 6 inches

Step 8: Enjoy!
