Questions? - call 1-800-265-1209 or ____________________________________________ EASY ASSEMBLY e-mail: info@raised-garden-beds.com _______________________________________ PLAN You will need a 1/2” wrench to assemble this raised bed kit. Any type will work but the easiest and fastest is a 1/2” socket wrench on a ratchet handle. Tighten the lag screws good and snug but do not over tighten. Use of an elecric drill with a nut driver bit or socket is not recommended. An electric drill has the power to cause SERIOUS INJURY to your wrist, to damage the boards and strip out the screw holes in the posts.
To Assemble Double Height (DH) Bed Boxes: • Assemble the washers on the lag bolts and insert them into the holes in the board.
• Start lag bolts by hand in predrilled holes in corner post, then tighten with a 1/2” wrench.

The cedar boards in most kits are interchangeable and reversible. Most boards are flat but some have a slight “cup” when viewed from the end. It’s best to attach a cupped board to the posts with the “cup” facing in as shown in the drawing below.
