Plastic raised bed borders
Anybody know where I can get these?
I ordered some last year from Garden Supply, but they don't show them any longer on their Web site. These are handy because don't rot, etc. and can be sawed like regular wood. Any info welcome. Persephone |

Persephone Without seeing what they look like, my first suggestion would be to head to a lumber yard or big box store, and buy synthetic deck planks, and make your own. What did the GS product come with? Metal brackets for the corners? |

The URL you offer carries the corners and connectors, but when I clicked on "composite lumber", it said they no longer carry that item. Anybody have another source? TIA Persephone |

It came with several metal stakes, and I bought more stakes as needed. Your suggestion is worth a look. I recently had side steps done with plastic wood, but it was a brand name from a catalog. When ordering I noticed HD had their own. Not pretty enuff for steps, but maybe for veg garden? Thanks! Persephone |

Has to be ordered. As I noted in another reply, I think it's too pricey for "mere" garden borders, but will check HD's own less elegant version. Thanks for help. |

TIA You inquired about "plastic raised bed borders" and Garden Supply. The site I linked you to has plastic and wood frames for raised beds, as well as corners and connectors. They don't have "composite lumber," which you may have meant but didn't state. Please don't shoot the messenger, especially the one who directs you to what you've asked for. |

I thanked you and answered you politely. My reading of the site was that they no longer carry the (plastic) (composite lumber) which I had earlier ordered from them. They DO carry complete kits for raised beds, which is not what I am looking for. I took the trouble to re-locate the below URL -- a long one, which I shortened via TinyUrl -- so if you read carefully, you will see that they state they no longer carry the item. http://tinyurl.com/3xplk4 This did not serve my purpose, as I already knew they no longer carry the item, but perhaps it will calm your ire.

It includes decomposed granite walkways framed with some kind of composition boards. The boards came wide enough to frame a raised bed, but the landscaper sawed them lengthwise to frame my walkways. As soon as I see the landscaper, I'll ask him what the boards are called and where he got them. Be patient. -- David E.

As soon as I see the landscaper, I'll ask him what the boards are called and where he got them. Be patient. It's called Hardie Siding. But my landscaper says that it's not sturdy enough to frame a raised bed. It's okay as a header with the decomposed granite on one side and lawn or beds on the other. But with just air on one side, no amount of staking will support it. Sorry. Have you considered Hunter Board? It's a cement board. It comes in large rectangles that can be sawed. I use a Hunter Board for the roof on my tortoise's house. -- David E.

Since you hadn't specified what you wanted "plastic raised bed borders" for at that time, how was I to know that you *didn't* want "plastic raised bed borders" rather than composite lumber for a different purpose? |
