How do you recommend stacking. 4x4 raised garden beds so they are secure?

I purchased five kits, One is used as a single bed, and two are stacked with two kits per bed. After completing the first section, you do not install the corner top decorative pieces. You then add the second kit corners and boards and finish with the corner pieces to be screwed in. The notched ends slide easily into the corner pieces. This is my second season using them and they are perfect.

I guess you mean to take two beds and put them on top of each other? I've not done that..but if I was going to try..I'd use long deck screws. I would also line the inside of the bed with something like air and water permeable weed fabric to keep the soil in as the gap between two of the beds would be larger. Hope that helps!

I haven't tried stacking..mine are in a square with space in between but I'll bet you could get brackets anduse them to attach each bed to another one...the L shaped ones. Hope this works for you.

I have not stacked my beds. They are high enough for what I planted (tomatoes, carrots, peppers, strawberries, lettuce, basil). I have had them for the last two summers and they still love great.

These units do not have a mechanism to keep them interlocked. They could fall easily. They are not designed to stack. The weight of the contents could be an issue, as well. I would not stack them on top of each other.

It would not be secure to stack them sideways unless your space is so restrictive that the units couldn't shift at all. There are feet that anchor one unit to another and they are only on the long sides.

Just my opinion, I think maybe getting some garden edging would be better to collect the leaves, or there is flex border material, like the recycled decking, that you could wrap around ground stakes, that may be better suited. This is a great raised bed, I bought two of them, but I am going to use them for vegetable gardening and make mini-greenhouses out of them, maybe do both projects !! :) take care

As Josh answered, no need to secure them as they fit snugly over the 4" wide railing -- they have about a four inch cutout and once they're planted the soil is heavy enough to keep them in place.

I dont think you want to stack them. You should order one that tall. They have them.

Just buy two of the taller 4 by 4 and connect them, this should give you the even height you want. The company sells them in the taller section in the 4 by 4 individually. However, they won't be any taller than the tallest section. Due to the construction of the corner pieces I don't think you can stack them. Not sure you'd want to even if you could, due to the volume and weight of the soil it would take to fill, might bow (or possibly break) the center boards. Which would cause soil to escape with each planting or rain or watering or ect. For example, I have the one in the photo and it required 900 pounds of soil to fill.

I would not stack without securing. I'd probably just invest in buying a bigger cabinet.

They can be stacked safely. There is an indent on the top that lets the next smaller canister nest nicely,

They are very sturdy, like a very strong milk crate. I do not know what the safety measures are in the amount you can stack, but I would stack five with out worry.

There are exposed dowel holes. You could stack one of top or to the side of another using dowels. (If you don't stack them, there are dowel hole covers you use instead.)

i would not try to stack myself. they are not designed to stack one bed on top of the other.

The enclosure has a round finger nut on each corner top and bottom. They wont stack at all. Unless you found a short tube like spacer that would fit over each nut. Then the nuts could slip into the spacers and hold the enclosures securely.

Ours was put directly on ground. There are metal supports to hold structure circular & shelving to put the 4 planter pots on. This weight of the planted pots holds ours down.

I'm not sure, it has poles you hammer into the ground, keeping it stable. If you're standing it, and want be sure it stays, use four deep pots. If they have a drain hole, all the better, put the legs through the holes into the sand. Weigh them down with gravel, rocks, etc. I hope I helped you, I love mine!

I personally do not stack mine. They are fragile. Plus, they are not all exactly the same dimension. They don't easily "fit" in one another. They're beautiful, but high maintenance!

If you look on greenlandgardener.com you will see connectors to facilitate stacking.
