Benefits of raised garden bed liner

The use of garden bed liners offers numerous benefits:

Weed Control

Liners act as a barrier, preventing weeds from taking root in your garden bed. This barrier blocks sunlight, preventing weed seeds from germinating and growing.

Soil Preservation

Liners help maintain the soil, preventing erosion due to factors like wind and heavy rainfall. Liners can help keep soil moisture by lowering evaporation, which is good for plant health and saves water.

Moisture Retention

Liners aid in retaining moisture within the soil, reducing the frequency of watering.

Types of Liners

Below are the liner options available for metal raised garden beds:

Plastic Liners

Plastic liners are not so expensive and it is simple to install. Plastic liners are not so strong and may not last long. They prevent rust and corrosion while maintaining a clean appearance.

Landscape fabric

Landscape fabric is a permeable material that allows for air and water movement while preventing weed development.

Rubber liner

Rubber liners for metal raised garden beds provide excellent soil-to-metal contact protection, reducing rust and corrosion. Rubber liners also aid in moisture retention, root protection, and temperature regulation, promoting healthy plant growth while extending the bed's lifespan.

Stainless steel mesh

If you're experiencing rodent issues, such as gophers, plastic or rubber liners may not effectively prevent rodents from burrowing into your metal garden beds, but stainless steel wire mesh can. Now is the perfect time to lay the wire mesh before filling the metal garden beds.

【New】Stainless Steel Mesh For Blocking Gophers

$89.95

Stainless steel mesh is the optimal solution for gopher issues in gardens or lawns. If rodents are plaguing your garden or raised bed, choose our durable stainless mesh for the best solution. To secure the wire mesh under the metal garden beds, we also equipped them with a pack of 21 pcs stainless landscape staples.

Stainless Steel Mesh Usage

Blocking gophers

Our stainless steel mesh, measuring 8ft 6in W x 2ft 6in W per roll, with a mesh size of 0.8in L x 0.8in W, is ideal for blocking many rodents like gophers, rats, mice, and squirrels. To begin with, lay the mesh under the metal garden beds to prevent the rodents from gnawing through and entering the bed. 

Stainless steel wire mesh used to be a chicken wire fence

Besides blocking gophers, the wire mesh can be used to block chickens or birds from entering your garden.

The features of stainless steel wire mesh garden use

  • User-friendly: Despite its strong structure, this stainless steel mesh is surprisingly easy to work with. It can be gracefully molded to fit various landscapes and securely installed without professional help.
  • Safe and Eco-Friendly: Reflecting our commitment to environmental protection, this mesh is a green alternative to harmful chemicals and traps. It poses zero risk to non-target animals and avoids soil pollution making it safe for the environment.

How to install the wire mesh under the garden bed

  1. Unroll the mesh and staple one side of the wire with landscape staples.
  2. Gradually unroll the gopher wire, ensuring it lays flat and level with the ground for a smooth surface (even ground makes for a good go for the wire installation).
  3. Staple along all sides and in the center for complete fixation.
  4. Put the metal garden beds on the wire.
  5. Fill a layer of soil on the wire before filling the garden bed.
