Epic vs Birdies raised beds: sizes, steel and warranty

Which suits you

Epic Gardening

Epic suits a bed from the same maker as the Epic watering system we list, in the same layouts as Birdies.

Birdies

Birdies suits a buyer who wants the bed direct from its maker. The warranties are built the same way; read which purchases each one covers.

This compares what makers publish and what extension services say. It is not a test of any bed.
