Please note, the description here is for a mobile raised bed. For fixed raised bed, or for direct installation in the ground without bed, please follow the descriptions here: https://genesis.farm.bot/v1.6/assembly/supporting-infrastructure
Also note: the mobile raised bed is not suitable for the XL version.
Things you’ll need:
Items you need for this step vary depending, but we used this configuration:
1 | Box of various wood screws | |
2 | Long planks for the side walls (these can be up to 3000mm) – we used 250mm high and 25 wide | |
2 | Planks (same as the previous long planks) for the short / top and bottom walls (these can be up to 1480mm minus the width of 2 wall planks) – we used lengths of 1220mm as this corresponds with the multiplex used for the floor panels | |
3/4 | Floor panels for flooring of the mobile bed. We used a nautical “Oukume” multiplex plate(s) of 1220×2440 that was (were) cut into different pieces. | |
4 | Legs – we used 70x70x450mm legs | |
Floor supports – we used 40x40mm | ||
4 | Caster wheels |
Attach floor supports
Attach the 40×40 floor supports under the floor panels at various places where you want to have the bed / floor panels supported to the surrounding structure:
2. Attach the short walls
For the short (the top and bottom of the table) walls, we cut the planks to the same length as the floor panels:
And then we attach these to the floor supports so that the bed’s floor is somewhat in the middle of the walls:
3. Attach the long walls
Do the same with the long panels – these can be up to 3000mm:
Don’t put in the middle floor panel(s) yet:
3. Attach the legs
Attach the legs and the caster wheels
4. Put the remaining floor panel(s)
These can be reinforced from the bottom if needed:
