About Our Products
At Backyard Boxes, we address the biggest challenges people face with raised bed gardening. Many products and DIY attempts fail because they are not engineered to last like our Backyard Boxes Garden Beds.
They are more than a “dirt box.” Every Backyard Box is a combination of strength, functionality, and elegance and are made to complement the beauty of your home garden.
What makes our garden boxes so different?
In addition to the unique Modern Farmhouse inspired design, each garden box we build relies on 3 key features to enhance its strength and durability.
1 – Thick External Frame
Thicker lumber lasts longer. Our frames are made from 2 inch and 4 inch lumber, creating a sturdy support structure for each box. This makes our boxes strong and wide enough to sit on while gardening. We do not reduce our lumber dimensions to make our boxes cheaper to ship. (Not pointing any fingers…)
2 – Overlapping Panels
Overlapping panels help the side walls resist soil pressure and reduce bowing and warping of the wood over time. These tight-fitted panels also help to prevent soil from spilling out between boards.
3 – Embedded Sides
Embedded side walls reduce excess hardware and keep metals away from the soil. Every side panel is embedded into the frame by a half inch on all sides, resisting soil pressure and increasing the stability of the box.
About Our Process
We designed our first garden boxes for our own homes with only one instruction: “If you are going to build my garden boxes, they had better look good!”
The lack of quality craftsmanship in other products on the market was disappointing. It made us want to build the best garden boxes available.
We believe the products that support your garden should be built with care and attention.
To this day, our very first garden boxes grow our tomatoes and cucumbers, though our products have evolved from their initial design. We believe better products come from smart design which requires constant iteration and improvement.
