This is our one page comparison chart for raised beds. Use it to locate the best raised bed for your needs but be sure to check the details before purchasing.
The chart assumes a raised bed sized at  approximately 3.15 sq metres and 30cm high. The data was extracted as at November 2011 and is liable to change without notice.


If you see any inaccuracies in this comparison chart or are a retailer who would like their product included, pleas use the "contact us" link in the top left hand menu. Suppliers below have been selected using a simple search for raised beds on a search engine.

NOTES FOR THE COMPARISON CHART
Some suppliers offer limited discounts, these are not included below.
Most amounts rounded to nearest pound.
Where a unit is not high enough (approx 30cm) we estimate the price of two units.
*1 not available at 30cm high, this is 40cm high
*2 not available at 30cm high, this is 25cm high
*3 supplied as 3 units each 1 sq m
*4 we suspect that these are on the thin side after reading comments on the site.
*5 only 14cm high and no stated ability to stack.
*
6 timber only supplied, no holes pre-drilled
*7 the price is approximate because the sizes are unusual. Visit the site for more information.
*8 These are new softwood sleepers and the timber only is supplied. The overall area is larger than average, approx 2.2m by 2.2m. See website for more details.
*8 Based on their kit 1.87m by 1.87m and 45cm deep
