Metal Raised Garden Beds
One type of bed that has been increasing in popularity is made with galvanized steel or corrugated metal. These metal, raised beds are not only stylish to look at but they can also give your garden a clean and modern look — a combination of beauty and function.
Other benefits include being durable and damage resistant. They can hold up against the elements and won’t rot or degrade like wood.
These raised garden beds can be made with tall pieces of metal edging from a variety of suppliers. We recommend pieces of metal edging that are at least 8" tall.
With metal that is flexible, these styles can be worked into any garden bed designs.
They can be made with or without wood framing. Some examples of metal raised beds with wood framing include:
