DIY Plan for building a raised garden bed 70×20. This narrow wooden garden bed is well-suited for a patio, balcony, or outdoor space when you want to grow in a small area while still achieving a neat and easy-to-maintain planting. The shape is rectangular and raised on legs, and inside there is a narrow plastic planting box that makes it easy to plant, water, and maintain, perfect for herbs, lettuce, or small flowers.
The construction consists of a wooden frame that supports the planting box and four legs held together by a stable frame lower down. The planting box has an open bottom so that excess water can drain out if the inner box has drainage holes, which reduces the risk of the roots sitting in water. All cuts are straight and the assembly is clear, so the building project can be completed quickly with common tools and without complicated steps.
If you want to use a plastic box inside, it is easy to lift it out for maintenance and replanting. You can also treat the wood if you want the surface to stay fresh longer in the weather.
You can download the DIY Plan as a PDF with a drawing, and it includes a complete shopping list, saw/cutting instructions with drawings, and step-by-step assembly instructions. The difficulty level is easy and the building time usually takes 1–2 hours.
