Why choose recycled plastic garden beds?

Our recycled plastic raised garden beds have become increasingly popular in recent years, due to their eco-friendly nature and ease of use. These handy garden planters are an excellent way to grow a variety of fruits, vegetables, and herbs, without the time and effort of traditional gardening. With a range of sizes available, they’re perfect for all kinds of outdoor spaces, plus the use of recycled plastic allows gardeners to take advantage of all the benefits of raised beds, while still being eco-friendly!

Here are 10 benefits of using Kedel’s recycled plastic raised garden beds, the ideal choice for modern gardens.

1. Eco-Friendly 

Eco-friendly gardening is at the forefront of a lot of gardeners' minds, and recycled plastic raised garden beds are a great way to help reduce your carbon footprint. Made from recycled plastic waste such as bottles, bags, and other plastic packaging, recycled plastic garden beds help to reduce the amount of plastic being sent to landfill, making these raised beds a much more sustainable choice than other alternatives. 

2. Low Maintenance 

Recycled plastic garden beds require very little maintenance. They are resistant to wear and weather and will last for years without any need for repair or replacement. Unlike their wood counterparts, the material will stay looking brand new, without the need to treat, stain or paint. This means that you can enjoy your garden without having to worry about constant upkeep. 

3. Affordable 

Recycled plastic garden beds are typically more affordable than traditional wood versions, meaning you can get all the benefits of a raised bed at a fraction of the cost. While the initial cost may seem high, it’s important to consider that these beds are made to last. You won’t be forking out for any upkeep materials or having to replace broken, warped or splintered beams. 

4. Durable

Our garden beds are highly durable and can last for decades with minimal maintenance. This is in stark contrast to traditional wooden garden beds, which may need to be replaced after just a few seasons of use. 

5. Easy to Assemble 

Plastic-raised garden beds are much easier to assemble than their wooden counterparts. Most pre-made beds can be easily assembled in less than an hour with just a few basic tools. All of our recycled plastic garden beds are delivered flat-packed and come with detailed instructions for easy assembly.

6. Portable 

Plastic garden beds are designed to be lightweight and easily moved; this makes them ideal for gardeners who like to switch things up or move to different locations. Whether you’re moving house or moving plants or vegetables to a more sheltered location for the winter, these versatile planters will make life that little bit easier!

7. Chemical-free 

Our plastic raised garden beds are made from recycled plastics that have been thoroughly cleaned to ensure that they are free from any chemical residues. This makes them the perfect choice for organic gardeners. 

8. Drainage 

Recycled plastic raised garden beds are designed with drainage holes, which helps prevent waterlogging and ensures that your plants get the moisture they need, without getting too much. 

9. Exceptional Quality 

Recycled plastic raised garden beds are built with exceptional quality and are designed to last for many years. Thanks to the impervious nature of our plastic wood lumber, we have some of the most durable recycled plastic raised beds on the market! Plus, our raised beds come with a 25-Year materials guarantee.
