XK605 - Stacking Corners, set of 4
The advantages of gardening in grow boxes – less weeding, more control over water and fertilizer, and ease of tending and harvesting – are well documented. This set of stacking corners gives you everything you need, except the lumber, to build a raised-bed grow box.
Although you can make boxes of any height (in multiples of 7 1/2"), a three-tier box gives you a bed deep enough to be both effective and convenient. Tall people might want four tiers for best height. Nominal 1" × 8" wide material (which is actually 7 1/2" wide when dressed) is most suitable, but 2" × 8" material can be used if chamfered for fit.
The kit includes enough hardware to make one tier about 8" high: four heavy-gauge galvanized steel stacking corners, screws for fastening the lumber, and instructions. Boxes should be no longer than 12' to prevent excessive bowing in the middle and no wider than 5' so you can reach across them comfortably. Most are made 4' wide and 8' long.
The kit is also good for making a stacking composter or removable sides for wagons or utility trailers, which can be collapsed flat for storage when not in use.

One set of four corners, used with nominal 1" × 8" lumber, builds one tier approximately 8" high. Corners stack on top of each other in 7 1/2" increments – most gardeners use two to four tiers, depending on the depth they need.
The kit requires nominal 1" × 8" dimensional lumber, which dresses to 7 1/2" wide. This is the most suitable material. Two-inch-thick lumber can also be used if chamfered to fit the corner brackets. Lumber is not included.
We recommend boxes no longer than 12' to prevent excessive bowing in the middle, and no wider than 5' so you can comfortably reach across. A common configuration is 4' wide by 8' long.
Yes. The corners also work for building a stacking composter or for making removable sides on a wagon or utility trailer. When used as trailer sides, the panels collapse flat for storage when not needed.
