Contemporary Concrete and Metal Raised Beds
These sleek looking concrete, fibrestone and metal raised beds have just added an extra dimension to garden design. I love them!
For many years now, the traditional material for building raised beds has been wood, but now we have some beautifully designed stone and metal, very modern looking, contemporary raised beds to lend an understated sense of style to any garden. Some, being powder coated, require very little maintenance. Always a bonus!
The metal ones below come in ten different sizes - the largest being 8ft - in three different heights, the possibilities for vegetable and flower displays, architectural planting and water features creation are amazing. They have done a really good job with these planters.
The concrete ones tend to come in three sizes, the longest being a metre.
Colours and Sizes
The good thing about all of these raised beds is the fact that they not only come in different sizes, but also in different colours. This means that you can easily make them fit into your garden design.
This one is a real statement piece.
There are also more colourful metal raised beds.
Liners
Some of the metal raised beds come with an optional liner for plants and vegetables. Alternatively, use a pond liner in the stone ones! The raised bed can then act as a water feature.
What an amazingly beautiful feature it will make either way!
Planting
Because the raised beds have a contemporary feel, architectural planting looks fabulous against the smooth, flat, neutral-coloured surface. The beds particularly lend themselves to bold forms and contrasting foliage when used in this way. There is huge potential for making a stunningly dramatic display.
Mix and match sizes and colours, if you wish.
Use them in a vegetable patch, on a patio or next to your newly built pergola.
I'm sure these lovely raised beds will help to make your garden a very special place!
