What the AI looks for in Planter Raised Beds
- Soil depth
- About 6 to 8 inches works for lettuce and herbs. Go deeper for tomatoes, peppers and root crops. Shallow elevated beds limit what you can grow.
- Load and frame
- Legs and floor must carry the full wet soil weight without sagging. Wet soil is extremely heavy, and sagging floors crack or fail.
- Drainage control
- Needs drainage holes or a plug. Check where the water will run on decks. Waterlogged beds rot roots, and runoff stains decks.
- Wood treatment
- Use cedar or untreated wood for food crops and avoid older CCA-treated lumber. Food-safety concerns with treated wood.
Brands that matter
- Keter: Resin outdoor products, including elevated planters.
- Gronomics: Wooden elevated garden beds.
What to avoid
- Elevated beds on decks without checking the deck's load capacity
