Choose the size or layout

Use the widest outside footprint to plan paths. For a soil order, measure between the inside walls after assembly and choose your filled depth; advertised dimensions can be rounded. Rectangular sizes below read length × width × height.

Anleolife doesn’t publish inside measurements or an outside size for these beds, so the soil figure below is the maker’s own stated capacity. If you’ll fill it less deep, measure between the inside walls once it’s built.

Questions about this bed

Does it have a bottom?

No: Anleolife leaves its beds open at the bottom so they don’t waterlog. What to put in the bottom.

Can it go on concrete or a patio?

Yes: on pavers, concrete, tiles or anything you don’t want stained, Anleolife suggests lining the bed from the inside with geotextile fabric, run up each side, before you fill it. Water drains through the fabric and the soil stays off the surface. Before you fill it on a patio or deck.

Is there film to peel off?

No: the panels come in thin foam sheet and plastic wrap, not a protective film to peel before assembly, Anleolife says. Their top edges are rolled smooth, so no edge strip is fitted.

Prepare and assemble this bed

Compare the material, bottom and care choices if you are still deciding between families. Follow the site preparation and liner checklist for the supporting surface.

  1. Choose the exact configuration and lay out its parts. Check the required tools in the selected kit instructions.
  2. Prepare a stable, level position and confirm the outside footprint with working paths.
  3. Check corners, fasteners, protective edging and any layout-specific braces against the kit instructions before adding fill.
  4. Measure the finished inside and outside separately, then update your plan. Preserve the maker’s fill restrictions.

Mark the outside footprint on the ground before assembly, including any legs or protruding corners. Leave a route for carrying bags, reaching the plants and maintaining nearby beds.

This bed is open to the ground. Check the soil and drainage where it will sit before adding fill. Its wall height is not a prescription for how deep the growing mix should be.
