ab 479,00 €
The only raised bed made of teak on the market as a kit for self-assembly. The wood has a very long service life and withstands the constant moisture and weather influences that a raised bed is exposed to. The teak planks are sent with a slight excess length and should be cut to the required size. The substructure is supplied in the appropriate dimensions.

Building instructions for raised bed N°1
material list
• 18 pieces of teak decking boards 95 mm wide, 110 cm long
• 36 pieces of teak decking boards 95 mm wide, 120 cm long
• 4 Garapa substructures 45 x 70 mm, 112,5 cm long
• 1 Garapa substructures 45 x 70 mm, 97,5 cm long
• 2 Garapa substructures 45 x 70 mm, 92,5 cm long
• 6 Garapa substructures 45 x 70 mm, 83 cm long
• 14 angle connectors 40 x 40 mm
• 220 decking screws 50 mm long
• 115 screws for angle connectors 35 mm long

1. Screw the basic structure together
Screw the substructure wood together as shown. Use the angle connectors (40 x 40 mm) and the screws (35 mm length). We recommend pre-drilling the screw holes with an HSS drill (4 mm diameter). Which construction timber is used where can be found in the technical drawing in the PDF building instructions.
2. Cut planks
The decking boards are slightly oversized by a few millimeters. Lay the planks against the basic structure and measure the exact length of the planks you need. Please see the technical drawing in the plank length on which our planning is based PDF building instructions.
3. Screw the planks onto the basic framework
Begin by screwing the planks to the base frame at the side and at the top. Allow the base frame to protrude 5mm (use spacers) above the top edge of the first plank. Pre-drill the screw holes with a countersink (4,5 mm diameter). For the board lengths used, please refer to the technical drawing in the PDF building instructions.
4. Fasten all planks on the side
Fasten all planks to the side of the basic structure of the raised bed as described in step 2. Use the spacers (5mm) to keep a gap between the planks.
5. Cover the top with planks
After all planks have been screwed on at the side, screw the upper frame of the raised bed to the planks. Again, use countersinks and spacers.
Premium quality from BioMaderas - what does that mean?
The premium quality sets the highest standard for the quality of the wood, but also for its social and ecological sustainability:
| ✓ | Highest quality in processing and careful manual sorting save resources, since no waste has to be planned. Not every irregularity is sorted out, but every plank can be used. |
| ✓ | The wood has a high resistance and durability so that the construction work is durable and material-friendly. |
| ✓ | Sustainable forest management is promoted so that the displacement of the forest by agriculture is stopped. |
| ✓ | social standards in forest and production are at least at fair trade level. |
| ✓ | transport takes place carbon neutral about certificate trading and reforestation projects. |
Despite the high quality standard, the material wood has natural properties that distinguish it from industrially manufactured products. These include: ✗ coloring ✗ grain ✗ swelling, shrinking and warping ✗ cracking. If you are aware of these typical wood properties, you will have a lot of fun with your wooden terrace.

Our sorting criteria
Every decking board is checked by us for errors. However, not every irregularity is sorted out. You can find out in detail what you can expect from our manual sorting in our sorting criteria.
sorting criteriaComparison of terrace wood
What our selected decking wood has in common: ✓ high durability ✓ very good technical properties ✓ sustainable origin. Here is an overview of the special features:
Cumaru
✓ best durability
✓ particularly robust and scratch-resistant
✗ partly rough surface
✗ high power development
Tip: Floorboards should be sanded after weathering.
garapa
✓ smooth surface
✓ homogeneous, light color
✗ Ferrous substances lead to discolouration
✗ unbolted tendency to warp
Tip: Terrace cleaning removes discoloration and professional interim storage avoids warping.
jatoba
✓ smooth surface
✓ Rich color and grain
✗ unoiled tends to crack
✗ Colored ingredients wash out
Tip: Clean and oil decking after laying.
Teak
✓ best durability and dimensional stability
✓ Lowest risk of cracks and splinters
✗ relatively expensive
✗ no very long planks
Tip: Lay decking boards together.
Substructure: wood instead of aluminium
For this decking board, we recommend a substructure made of hardwood with very good resistance (at least class 1-2). We advise against an aluminum substructure, since the risk of the screws tearing off is too great here due to the rigidity of the material.
