FAQs
Q. What are the beds made from and will they rust?
The steel base material is Aluzinc, which is a cold rolled galvanized steel with a metal coating composed of aluminum and zinc. It's the same material used for roofs, gutters, and downpipes.
In a direct comparison with standard galvanized coatings, Aluzinc performs 2-6x better at rust and corrosion resistance.
With a wood bed, your timber will rot eventually. Likewise these will rust eventually, however it will be many years before this happens. We have beds still in use from 2007 and are showing minimal signs of corrosion.
If you keep the soil free-draining, pH neutral and do not use fresh chicken manure, your beds will last many years.
Q. Can I place the beds on hard surfaces such as concrete?
If you would like to place your bed on pavers, concrete, or tiles we recommend using a geo-textile fabric.
To use, place your bed into position, place the fabric on the inside bottom of the garden bed with excess fabric going up each side, and fill with soil. The fabric allows the water to drain freely but keeps the soil in place.
Optional: To protect the surface, thick builders plastic or coreflute can be placed down before placing your bed into position, once the bed is filled, the excess plastic can be trimmed around the edge of the garden bed with an Exacto knife.
Q. What is the thickness of your metal beds?
22 gauge.
Q. Can the clip on safety strip handle freezing temps?
Yes, it is designed to withstand freezing winter temperatures.
