These costs come to you when building the raised bed yourself
Finished kit raised beds cost between 70 and 700 EUR, depending on material usage and size. But there are also all the necessary utensils, you just need to assemble. The costs for self-built raised beds also range from a few EUR to several thousand EUR - depending on which material you use and how big the effort is.
Costs depend on the material used
Raised beds can be built from many different materials, which are of course very different in terms of price. Of course, a raised bed of simple wooden slats is much cheaper than one with a foundation and brick walls of natural stone. While in the first variant you only need to nail boards to each other and line them with foil, the construction machines should roll on the second option - not to mention the corresponding material usage. But even with these examples, there are savings opportunities: So you can collect instead of expensive natural stones field stones or use old pavement plates, instead of expensive larch boards use old Euro pallets, instead of individual blocks a chess ring. Such recycling helps immensely in cost savings - and also creates unique raised beds.
