Oak Planter Kit

Putting together

2 people 2 hours including filling the bed with soil   The raised bed kits are very easy to put together. One person can put it together , but we would recommend having two people. It is a half lap joint and so it is a case of lining up the holes and slotting in the dowel. It was easiest to built a layer at a time. It took four compost bags to fill the bed with soil . 

Green oak

Fresh Sawn or Green Oak refers to timber cut fresh from a log and ranges in colour from pink to pale honey, weathering to grey.  It is renewable, as a frame can last for over 100years, the same time it takes to grow with careful management in such schemes as FSC or PEFC. The carbon footprint is also less than standard building materials. We can cut sizes up to 300mm square and 6m long.  Larger beams are available to order in shorter lengths. Green oak can have some blue staining which is caused by a reaction between the tanin in the oak and metal. This easily cleans off once dry on the surface by either sanding or oxalic acid.
