5. Operating Instructions

Once assembled, your raised garden bed is ready for planting.

1. Choose Location: Select an outdoor location that receives adequate sunlight for your chosen plants and is on a level surface.
2. Fill with Soil: Fill the planter boxes with appropriate potting mix or garden soil. Ensure not to overfill, leaving some space from the top edge.
3. Planting: Plant your desired seeds, seedlings, or mature plants in the soil. The two tiers allow for diverse planting arrangements.
4. Utilize Trellis: For climbing plants such as cucumbers, beans, or flowering vines, gently guide their tendrils onto the trellis as they grow. The trellis provides vertical support.
5. Watering: Water your plants regularly. The integrated drainage holes and gaps between the bottom plates will allow excess water to escape, preventing root rot and promoting healthy growth.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will help prolong the life and appearance of your garden bed.

• Cleaning: Periodically wipe down the wooden surfaces with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the wood or coating.
• Drainage Check: Ensure the drainage holes at the bottom of the planter boxes remain clear of soil or root blockages. Clear any obstructions as needed.
• Wood Protection: The fir wood is treated with a water-based coating. To maintain its natural appearance and extend its lifespan, consider re-applying a suitable outdoor wood sealant or water-based coating annually, especially if the product is exposed to harsh weather conditions.
• Hardware Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections for tightness. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain structural integrity.
