Our elevated bed is easy to plant, tend and harvest without kneeling or bending. Set up one or more of these beds around the edge
of your patio to add privacy or arrange several along a perimeter to create a garden "room." The planting area is 10" deep and holds
nearly 14 cubic feet.

(2) 8' Cedar Boards with Vents

(2) Platform Supports
(4) Flat Stock

(3) Cross Supports
(4) Corner Caps

Important: When inserting the Cedar Boards and Panels into the Corners, make sure they are fully
pressed inside. If there are any gaps between the wood and the Corner then you will have problems lining up the holes.
NOTE: Assembly is easiest with two people.
Step 1. Identify and organize all parts on a clean, level surface. NOTE: The Cedar Boards have a rough side and a smooth side. The
Floor Planks may be different widths.
Step 2. Examine the Vents on the Cedar Boards and notice how the louvers are slanted (Figure 1). Using Figure 2 as a reference, lay
three 8' Cedar Boards and one 8' Cedar Board with Vents on a flat surface, with the rough sides facing up, the Vents facing down
and the louvers on the Vents slanted toward the bottom of the Panel. Line up the ends of the Boards and press them tightly
together. NOTE: We recommend using a clamp or having another person hold them firmly together.
Step 3. Slide a Corner onto the ends of the Cedar Boards, positioning it so the holes in the Corner match Figure 2. NOTE: The top
Cedar Board should sit 1/8" above the top of the Corner. Make sure the Boards are tight together and are fully seated in the Corner,
then use your screw gun to insert Screws through the holes, skipping the 4th hole from the top. Repeat to attach another Corner
onto the other side of the Cedar Boards.
Step 4. Examine a Platform Support to find the side with 4 holes. Using the assembled End Panel as a reference, line up the holes in
the ends of the Support with the open holes in the Corners (Figures 2 & 3). Insert a Screw into both sets of holes.
