Our stand-out pick

Forest Lomello Wooden Garden Planter 6' x 2'

The Forest Lomello is a strong choice for a substantial wooden planter, with an approximate 405-litre capacity, a 180 cm length and a 15-year anti-rot warranty. It costs more and takes up more room than the Caledonian beds, but it offers the largest stated capacity in this selection.

Forest Linear Double Wooden Garden Planter with Wheels 3' x 1'

03 · Best simple compact bed

Forest Caledonian Small Raised Bed 3' x 3'

A 90 cm square raised bed with thick timber and four-screw assembly.

The Small Caledonian measures 90 × 90 cm and has 14 cm sides made from 40 mm FSC-certified timber. Half-lap corner joints help keep the build straightforward, with four screws used for assembly. It is the least expensive option here, but its shallow profile is less suited to crops that need a deep root run.

The Caledonian Corner measures 131 × 131 × 28 cm and is shaped to make use of a garden corner. The retailer lists up to 500 litres of capacity and a 15-year anti-rot warranty. It creates a contained growing area, provided there is enough clear floor space for the wide footprint.

05 · Best tiered layout

Forest Caledonian Tiered Raised Bed 3' x 3'

Three planting levels make use of a square footprint.

This raised bed measures 90 × 90 × 56 cm and uses three tiers with half-lap rails. The stepped layout creates different planting heights within a square footprint, which can help separate crops or make the upper level easier to reach. Assembly is estimated at two hours, and the timber carries a 15-year anti-rot warranty.

Forest Caledonian Trough Raised Bed 6' x 1'6"

A 180 cm trough shape for planting in a narrow strip.

The Caledonian Trough is 180 × 45 × 14 cm, giving it a long, narrow footprint for a border or along a fence.
