For working at standing or seated height
VegTrug Classic 1.8 m Cedar Planter
A V-shaped Inland Red Cedar trough on a frame, 72.2 inches long and 31.5 inches tall, that takes 420 litres (about 14.8 cubic feet) of soil.
The garden planner draws rectangles and circles, so it cannot draw this V-shaped bed. Use the stated capacity for a soil order.

For working at standing or seated height
The soil is deepest in the middle of the V, so a length × width × depth estimate overstates it; use the maker’s 420 litres. VegTrug says the working height allows wheelchair access.

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.

Notes on these sizes
- 1.8 m: 72.2 × 29.9 in, 31.5 in tall: The maker gives 72.2 in as the width and 29.9 in as the depth, front to back.
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.
