ASSEMBLY - what you need to know

But what else do I need?

It's probably easier to tell you what you don't need. No tools are required as the boards slide into the slots in the posts. The joint will hold the board in place without the need for nails or screws.

Do I need a concrete base to put my Compost Bin or Raised Bed on?

No.

Both the bins and beds can be assembled on any reasonably level ground. There are no footings to dig or posts that need to be put into the ground. The complete item sits on the surface.

How strong will my Bin/Bed be and do I need nails?

We use a dovetail joint on our Bins and Beds which is traditionally used in furniture.

It provides a strong joint which is impossible to pull apart. Even when you fill the Bin or Bed the board won't fall out.

Therefore, no nails or screws are needed as the strength of the Bin/Bed is provided by the design.

Do you give any instructions?

Yes, the Compost Bins and Raised Beds come with full instructions. We also provide the instructions on each product description so you can have a look before you buy.

Or we've put them here:

Or there's a quick video you can watch.

How long will it take me to assemble my Bin or Bed?

On average, it will take 10 minutes per bay to assemble.

This depends on how big the bay is so it may be vary by a couple of minutes.
