No brackets. No liner required. Simply position the sleepers, drive in the self-driving screws with your drill, and you're done. A solid, easy to assemble raised bed that's ready in minutes and built to last; the beauty of using garden sleepers.
Garden Sleepers vs. Thin Timber Boards – Why Our Raised Beds Last Longer
Many customers choose our sleeper raised beds because thick garden sleepers look better, last longer, and are far more durable than thin timber boards often used in cheaper planters — which warp and bow in summer heat and under the constant weight of soil, gradually weakening until they fail.
Cutting sleepers yourself also creates a problem: once a pressure-treated sleeper is cut, the exposed edges lose their protection and should be re-treated. It also requires expensive cutting equipment.
Our raised bed kits solve this. Each kit includes pre-cut sleepers, heavy-duty self-driving screws, and simple instructions for quick assembly.

Protected with Tanalith treatment against rot, insects and moisture for long outdoor life — safe for growing vegetables.
-
Simple Assembly
Just position the sleepers and drive in the supplied self-drilling sleeper screws using an 18V drill and the included drill bit.

-
Complete Kit Included
Everything required to build your raised bed is supplied — self-drilling sleeper screws and drill bit included.
-
Pre-Cut Sleepers
All sleepers arrive cut to size for quick, straightforward assembly. They’re cut before pressure treatment, so the exposed edges are protected too.
-
Multi-Buy Savings
Save £10 off each bed when purchasing two or more.
-
User Friendly and Manageable
Despite their chunky thickness, our longest 2200mm sleeper weighs only around 25kg thanks to the high-quality softwood construction. That makes them far easier to handle than you might expect — most people can move them solo, or even more easily as a pair if preferred.
See Our Customers Raised Beds
Thousands of growers across the UK use our kits to replace their existing deteriorating raised beds, while newcomers transform unused spaces into green havens — whether it’s a family garden or a community allotment.
We love the raised beds – delighted with the quality and ease of putting them together.

What's Included?
Each kit contains 8 individual sleepers, selected from our 2200mm, 1200mm, or 600mm lengths based on your chosen size.
The kit includes 18 self-driving sleeper screws and a compatible drill bit - no pilot holes needed. Simply use an 18V drill to assemble your raised bed quickly and easily.
Safe Nationwide Delivery
Your sleepers and screws will arrive on a pallet which will be unloaded to the ground by the driver using a pallet trolley from a tail-lift vehicle nearest to your property - usually the start of your drive. You can then move the individual sleepers safely to your ideal location to assemble at your convenience.
Installation Tips – Patios, Concrete, Grass & Soil
Our raised beds are built from thick, pressure-treated sleepers that naturally resist rot and moisture — no liner needed.
On patios or concrete: Add a shallow 2cm layer of gravel inside the base before filling with soil. This improves drainage and helps prevent standing water. There’s no need to elevate the bed off the ground.
On grass or soil: Laying a breathable weed membrane at the base is optional and only recommended for weed-heavy areas. It helps suppress regrowth and cuts down on future maintenance.

Soil Requirements
Use the table below to estimate how much soil is needed for each bed. These figures are approximate, as the density of soil can vary slightly and some settling should be expected once placed.
