Raised Garden Bed with Ladder Trellis Plans

Build Your Own Raised Garden Bed

Everyone has a vision of their dream garden. Whether you desire to cultivate flowers, herbs, or vegetables, the perfect garden bed can help make your dream a reality.

This 3×6 raised garden bed is an excellent starting point for those new to gardening. It is compact enough to fit in even the smallest of gardens yet large enough to accommodate your favorite flowers and vegetables.

If you want to grow climbing plants, don’t worry! This garden bed has a center trellis resembling a stepladder to support the vines. You can plant herbs on one side, vegetables on the other, and trailing flowers beneath the trellis. The flowering vines cascading down the trellis will create a stunning focal point.

This garden bed is 11 inches tall, making it suitable for most plants. The bed exterior measures 6′ 3″ in length and 3′ 3″ in width, so be sure to level enough ground. Additionally, the garden bed needs a minimum vertical clearance of 4′ 10 ¼” for the trellis, ensuring the plants receive ample light.

When constructing your garden bed, choosing the highest quality wood you can afford is essential to ensure performance and longevity. Hardwoods are often the best choice because they have rot-resistant and pest-resistant properties.

In conclusion, this raised garden bed is ideal for new gardeners and homeowners looking to add color to their gardens with flowers and herbs.
