How to Maintain Your Garden Bed
Maintaining your garden bed is essential to ensure its longevity and keep it looking great. At Garden Beds NT, our premium garden beds are crafted from the highest-quality materials, designed to stand the test of time. Here’s how we build them for durability and how you can maintain them:
-
High-Quality Materials:
- We use Australian-made Colorbond Steel sheets and corner moulds, known for their exceptional durability.
- The frames are constructed from H3-treated pine, providing resistance to decay and termites.
- The coping tops are made from solid merbau timber, a dense and long-lasting hardwood.
-
Internal Protection:
- To protect against moisture, we line the frames with heavy-duty builder's plastic, preventing wet soil from coming into contact with the internal walls.
-
Timber Care:
- The merbau tops are treated with two coats of water-based Aquadeck, offering protection against the harsh Australian sun. To maintain this protection, it’s important to sand and re-treat the timber annually. This process is similar to caring for outdoor timber furniture or decking and helps preserve the wood’s integrity and appearance.
By following these maintenance steps, you’ll ensure your garden bed remains sturdy and visually appealing for years to come. A little care goes a long way in protecting your investment and keeping your garden thriving! 🌱
