Thank you for purchasing EarthMark™ Metal Garden Beds. We strive to provide high quality products with
exceptional value. An Illustrated assembly guide is provided on the back of this page and useful tips below:
MGB-H044 High Extension set
Assembled dimensions: extends length of high beds 36" L x 17"H (92 x 45 cm)
Works for both 22" and 40" wide beds
Soil volume: add 7.5 cubic ft. for narrow beds and 14 cubic ft. for 40" wide beds
Cut metal edges can be sharp. Ware safety gloves when assembling.
Use a tarp or drop cloth to prevent loosing small hardware when assembling the beds in the field
It is normal to have some spare braces or hardware after assembly depending on the configuration of your bed
Warning: Do not use a powered tiller after assembly, as this will damage the cross-braces and tiller.
These beds provide ergonomic access to plants and can eliminate the need to till the soil each year if the soil is
not packed down. Avoid stepping in the bed!
Narrow 22" beds are ideal for larger plants such as tomatoes, peppers or blueberries or raspberries planted in a
row, smaller plants such as herbs or flowers can be grown around them as an accent.
The narrow beds can be accessed from one side and are suitable to place against a wall, or can be lined up or
extended to form a wall or boarder.
40" wide beds are best for planning multiple rows of plants such as lettuce, radishes, carrots, corn or rambling
plants such as strawberries. Wide beds should have 2-sided access.
Beds can be bolted end-to-end to form larger assemblies using common fastening points.
Beds can also be extended in 36" intervals using EarthMark Garden Bed Extension Sets. Be sure to order the
correct height extension as they come in LOW-10" or HIGH-17" versions.
A maximum of 2 extensions sets can be joined to form a 9'-3" long bed, if longer runs are desired, start a new
bed with end walls butted up against the first to insure structural integrity.
Prepare the site before installation. Level ground and remove existing vegetation, weed cloth can be used
under the beds, a double layer is recommended for beds placed on un-stripped lawn.
A layer of gravel or stone can be used at the bottom of the beds for improved drainage
Use the curved washers and long bolts provided on all overlapping panel connections.
After securing all fastening points with nuts. Connect the cross-braces: slide the brace end over the bolt and
use a SECOND nut to secure the brace. The brace ends will be sandwiched between 2 nuts.
Loosely hand-tighten all nuts and bolt sets first, position and square the bed, then tighten all with a tool
Galvanized metal beds requires no maintenance, and are built to withstand years of exposure to the elements
The hot dipped galvanized finish is a durable self-sacrificing finish that protects the steel from corrosion.
Galvanize will fade with time and some discoloration is normal, minor surface rust on edges and hardware is to
be expected and should not effect the structural integrity of the product.
Do not use adhesive removers, they often contain citric acid which can damage the galvanized finish
Do not stand on or lean a wheelbarrow against the bed wall, It will damage the wall and void the warranty
These raised garden beds are not toys. Children should not play in or around them.
Use of these beds for applications other than gardening will void the warranty
