For a narrow cedar planter with a floor
The floor keeps the soil in, so it can stand on a patio if the surface takes the filled weight. Its 3-year rot warranty covers raised beds only when lined with a waterproof membrane.

- Elevated planter
- Material
- Western Red Cedar with aluminum corner connectors
- Warranty
- 1 year as standard. The 3-year rot and decay warranty covers raised beds only if the inside is fully lined with a waterproof membrane before filling.

Planning a balcony, deck or roof garden? Have the surface assessed for the filled weight before buying the planter. Its own load rating does not establish what the surface can carry. Prepare a filled-weight record for the assessment.
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.
Scroll across the table to compare all measurements and plan a size.

Where the maker’s figures disagree
- The key features say a 3-year limited warranty. The warranty section on the same page limits that warranty to rot and decay, and covers raised beds only if the inside is fully lined with a waterproof membrane; the standard warranty is 1 year.
- The shipping text calls the bed 4×1.15; the title says 4 ft × 1.5 ft.
Measure the inside of the assembled bed before ordering soil.
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.
- Choose the exact configuration and lay out its parts. Check the required tools in the selected kit instructions.
- Prepare a stable, level position and confirm the outside footprint with working paths.
- Check floor supports, drains, supplied liner and the chosen leg or caster hardware before filling. Confirm the support beneath the planter for the filled load.
- 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 planter has a floor. Use the intended planting depth, not the height of its legs, to estimate fill. Account for drainage and the filled weight when choosing a level location.
