Elevate your garden experience with a waist-high raised garden
Ready to take your gardening to new heights and grow an amazing garden? Ergonomic Gardens offers the best raised garden beds on the market, made with top-quality USA-sourced steel that provides unmatched durability and longevity. Our beds are taller and stronger than the competition and will keep your dream garden growing strong for decades.
Why choose Ergonomic Gardens?
Ergonomic Gardens raised garden beds are designed to enhance your gardening experience. Here’s why our raised beds stand out:
Ergonomic Design
Say goodbye to the backbreaking work of traditional gardening. With Ergonomic Gardens’ 36” tall, raised garden beds, there is no crawling on the ground or straining your back to tend your plants. Our beds are designed to be comfortably waist high, making it easy to plant, weed, water, and harvest your garden. You’ll enjoy your garden more and spend more quality time in your garden with our garden beds. The old adage is true, “The best fertilizer for your garden is your shadow.”
Top Quality Materials
Our raised garden beds are constructed from premium USA-sourced steel, ensuring they are built to last. This high-quality material ensures that your garden bed remains sturdy and beautiful year after year. Our beds are composed of iron and zinc. We don’t paint our beds, especially on the inside surface.
Improved Soil Quality
One of the major benefits of raised garden beds is the ability to control soil quality. No more living with poor or compacted soil. You can incorporate hügelkultur methods and customize the soil mix to provide the perfect environment for your plants to thrive. And with our BedLock Evolution GardenTM beds you can make yards of valuable soil right in your garden for top dressing beds or starting new ones.
Versatility
With Ergonomic Gardens’ tall, raised beds, you can grow a raised vegetable garden, a raised flower garden, or a raised garden dedicated to herbs or even herbal teas. The possibilities are endless, allowing you to cultivate a diverse range of plants in your garden.
Support Local Pollinators
By growing a variety of plants, you are not only growing an amazing garden but also supporting local pollinators. Bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects will thrive in your garden. We had never seen so many black swallowtail butterflies before we started growing fennel, dill and parsnips in our ergonomic tall, raised beds.
Benefits of Ergonomic Gardens raised garden beds
In addition to gardening more ergonomically, our raised garden beds offer other advantages over traditional in-ground gardening and other raised garden beds. Here are some key benefits:
Weed Control
Weeds are much less of a problem in 36” tall, raised garden beds. The defined borders and elevated structure make it easier to manage and remove weeds, keeping your garden healthy and productive. With the right soil, there’s no weed seed bank and the only weeds you will have will be from seeds blown in. Weeding is as easy as reaching out and picking them. You won’t even have to put down your coffee.
Pest Management
Ergonomic Gardens tall, raised beds discourage many pests from accessing your plants. 3 feet is a long way up for a little critter. Slugs and snails are a huge challenge for us on the seacoast. With our high sides and deep corrugation pattern, slugs and snails don’t get positive feedback and head back to the ground before reaching the growing area. We still get some, but very few compared with on the ground gardening and it is much easier to manage them in our beds with garden-safe slug baits. To keep voles and woodchucks from coming up from underneath, ¼ or ½ inch galvanized hardware cloth does the trick.
Extend Your Growing Season
The soil in our stand-up, raised beds warms up faster in the spring, allowing you to start planting earlier. Where we live, the ground doesn’t dry out from mud season until Memorial Day. The soil in our tall, raised beds is usually workable by mid-April and we can plant brassicas and peas in sight of the snowbanks. Our beds can extend your growing season and increase the variety of crops you can cultivate. You still have to manage frost dates, but the window of workable soil is weeks earlier.
Better Drainage
Our raised beds improve drainage, preventing waterlogged soil and root rot. This is especially beneficial in areas with heavy rainfall or poor soil drainage. Our beds helped us get far away from our flat, clay soil. In 2023, when Maine gardeners were washed out by excessive rain or plagued by hordes of slugs and snails, our tall, raised beds flourished.
Sustainability
Unlike other raised beds, the steel used in Ergonomic Gardens raised beds will last for decades. With our beds, you won’t need to rebuild as with wooden raised beds. We recommend filling our beds with wood, wood chips and clean yard or garden waste. Don’t haul those materials to the transfer station. Fill a garden bed, top it off with soil and grow healthy plants with the hügelkultur method.

Why Ergonomic Gardens Tall Garden Beds?
- Ergonomic Gardens’ beds are the tallest garden beds available. The best ergonomic garden tool you can buy
- Our metal raised beds are the strongest available. We use minimum 24-gauge steel, one of the thickest on the market and our corrugation pattern has the highest structural integrity
- Long lasting, much longer than wood and other steel beds. Our materials should last 20-50 years as a metal raised garden bed
- Albedo, the ability to reflect heat, keeps metal garden beds at an even temperature (not too hot/not too cold)
- We get started weeks earlier in the spring with our raised beds and frost hardy plants
- No compacted soil from foot traffic, the aeration from looser soils in raised beds helps roots grow
- Enables soil quality control/improvement. Your soil has a biome and just like your gut biome, a healthy soil biome is critical to crop health, yields and pest resistance
- Grow anywhere, our raised beds can be placed on any surface that can safely hold the weight
