So durable it's the last raised garden bed you'll ever have to buy. Watch our video to see why.
Compared to Wood or Cedar Garden Bed Kits, Our durable composite kits just make dollars and sense!
Most wood garden beds will begin to rot, crack, warp or splinter in a very short period of time and within 6 to 8 years you will need to replace them again. Plastic beds can crack under the sun in a short period as well. This forces you to spend money and rebuild beds rather than focus on your garden.
To get an idea of the real cost of owning a 25 year Greenbed versus a traditional wood raised garden bed, you need to look at cost over the lifetime of your beds. First, there is the initial purchase cost, of course, but ownership can also bring substantial costs for installing, maintaining and replacement of your beds over time.
How does a GreenBed compare to building my own wood garden bed?
Review the chart below and to see which choice is better for you. This chart compares a cedar raised bed (4’x8’x12”) and a Durable GreenBed (4’x8’x13”) raised garden bed kit. (Already you have 1 inch more root space and they are delivered FREE to your door.)

With standard wood raised garden beds you will need to replace your beds every 6 or so years. Why keep paying and paying? With Greenbeds, you assemble them once and can focus on your garden, not maintaining your bed.
When you factor in the time and hassle to build a wood raised garden bed, not to mention the short life span, the choice to buy a Durable Greenbed is obvious.
It’s time to get ready to garden!
