FAQs

Q. What does the "6-in-1" design mean?

Birdies Beds are panelized in their design. Each kit comes with 4 corner panels and 6 side panels. Because of this paneled design, you can achieve 6 different dimensions when constructing your bed depending on how many panels you use, and how you orient them.

This flexibility allows you to customize your raised bed to your exact growing space.

Q. Are they safe to grow food in?

Q. What are the beds made from? Will they rust?

The panels are made from 22-gauge cold-rolled steel, galvanized with a combination of aluminum and zinc. It's the same material used for roofs, gutters, and water tanks.

In a direct comparison with standard galvanized coatings, aluzinc performs 2-6x better at rust and corrosion resistance.

Wooden beds, even using high-quality wood will fade and rot in ~5 years, depending on the type of wood. Birdies Beds will rust eventually, however it will be many years before this happens.

We have beds in use since 2007 (over 13 years) that are showing minimal signs of corrosion.

If you keep the soil free-draining, and 6-8 pH, you should have no problems with corrosion for many years to come.

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.
