Building your own garden box is an impressive feat, though a relatively easy one when you use a premade kit. With one convenient package, you have everything you need to set up your own garden in just one weekend. A garden box kit includes easy-to-assemble instructions, hardware, and wood already cut to size with pilot holes, so all you need is a power drill to put it all together.
User-Friendly Garden Box Options
There are a couple of different options when you buy a premade garden box. The most popular is the GroGreen Garden Box Kit. It’s the perfect raised garden bed to grow vegetables and can be aligned side by side depending on how many rows you decide to plant. It’s a sustainable choice made with 100% redwood and is 12” tall and available in 2’x4′, 2’x6′, 4’x4′, 4’x6′ and 4’x8′. The construction of a premade kit is simple, which means you can pick up a garden box today and have it built the same day.
The GroGreen Garden Box also comes with optional legs to lift your box off the ground, raising it to 30” high. This makes gardening easy, reducing the stooping and bending down to the ground and as a bonus, garden boxes with leg kits help reduce common garden critters and pests from eating your produce and destroying your flowers.
Additionally, there’s also the option of the Rough and Rustic Garden Boxes. They are made of 2×12 rough heart redwood and joined at the corners by 4x4s to give it extra strength and durability. All hardware is included, as well as wire mesh to lay down under the soil to keep gophers and groundhogs from burrowing through the bottom.
Customize Your Outdoor Space
The beauty of a premade garden box kit is you can choose from different sizes to fit your own backyard or patio needs. It’s quick to put together even though the final product may look like you spent days building it. Additionally, there are multiple wood stains to choose from to protect from various weather conditions, mildew, and fading from the sun.
Once you’ve secured where you want your garden to grow, you can map out what fruits, vegetables, and flowers you want included. Then, simply pick up as many garden box kits as you need to start building. From there, it may inspire you to extend your garden area to include a decorative fence, picnic table, or other outdoor decor. You can transform unused backyard space into a relaxing oasis for your family and guests.
Exercise your green thumb with this fun DIY project. A weekend of work will allow you to reap the rewards for years to come. Whether you want a smaller version to plant a few herbs and vegetables or wish to extend your garden across several rows, the premade garden box kits make it easy for you to get growing.
