Natural Wood Raised Garden Bed 800x400mm (Reference: 060511) by Multitanks, designed to meet the needs of gardeners who want to grow their own vegetables and herbs in an optimised space. This rectangular planter offers a practical and eco-friendly solution for developing home or professional market gardening.

Benefits and use cases

This raised garden bed is aimed at gardening enthusiasts who want to grow their own fresh vegetables, as well as professionals looking for a modular solution for their crops. With its compact dimensions of 80x40cm, it fits perfectly on a terrace, balcony, in an urban garden or a school courtyard. The 62.5-litre capacity allows you to efficiently grow radishes, lettuces, herbs, small courgettes or cherry tomato plants.

Ideal for urban farming and educational projects, this planter makes it easy to introduce children and beginners to gardening. Master composters and environmental educators also use it in their practical workshops. Its height of 19.5cm is perfectly suited for shallow and medium-rooting crops.

Technical features and innovation

Made from treated natural wood to withstand outdoor conditions, this raised garden bed ensures a long service life outdoors. The wood material offers excellent thermal insulation, protecting roots from temperature variations. The precise dimensions of 800mm x 400mm x 195mm have been designed to optimise growing space while making it easy to access plants.

The innovative interlocking system completely eliminates the need for tools, screws or nails. This modular design allows several beds to be assembled to create gardens of varying sizes according to your needs. The 19.5cm height ensures optimal drainage while retaining enough substrate for root development. Compatible with all types of potting soil and organic growing substrates.

Installation and use

Installation takes just a few minutes thanks to the exclusive Multitanks interlocking system. Simply stack and interlock the planks according to the provided notches, without any tools. Place the bed on a flat surface, preferably in a sunny spot, ensuring that excess water can drain away.

For use, fill the bed with a compost-potting soil mix to a depth of 15 to 17cm, leaving 2-3cm of rim to facilitate watering. Cultivation follows standard gardening techniques: direct sowing, transplanting seedlings, crop rotation. Maintenance is limited to occasional cleaning of the wood with a soft brush and clean water. At the end of the season, partially empty the substrate to aerate and renew it.

Tips, synergies and expert advice

To maximise your harvests, pair this raised garden bed with our Gardena irrigation systems available at Multitanks: timers and micro-porous hoses ensure regular watering. Combine several beds of different sizes to create a tiered vegetable garden and optimise vertical space.

Crop rotation tip: alternate leafy vegetables (lettuce, spinach) and root vegetables (radishes, short carrots) to maintain soil fertility. In winter, protect your crops with our Multitanks crop covers. For professionals, this model integrates perfectly into diversified market gardening systems and peri-urban agriculture.

Avoid placing the bed directly on concrete without drainage: use shims or a layer of gravel. To extend the life of the wood, apply a natural food-safe protective oil annually.
