Description
Immerse yourself in the harmonious blend of aesthetics and functionality with our URBAN Nexus raised garden bed. With a generous base and a height of 70 cm, it not only offers ample space for your plants but also rises to the height of urban life with an impressive total height of 183 cm.
The use of high-quality Corten steel gives the URBAN Nexus not only a robust structure but also a striking rust patina that blends seamlessly into urban environments. This raised bed is more than just a garden accessory – it's a statement of contemporary design and sustainable gardening.
The integrated trellis, consisting of a tension frame and a sturdy wire rope set, allows you to cultivate climbing plants while simultaneously creating a vertical dimension in your garden or on your patio. At 113 cm high, it provides ample space for your green oasis to flourish. Alternatively, other materials can also be attached to the tension frame.
URBAN Nexus – Your connection to nature in the heart of the urban jungle. Order now and design your space with green elegance!
The basic structure remains the same as always:
Multi-part segmented variable raised bed from the »Palatino« series.
At 70 centimeters high, we've developed a robust and versatile version of a large raised bed. With the URBAN series, made of two-millimeter-thick steel and one-meter-wide elements, you can build a truly spacious raised bed – why not configure your dream raised bed yourself?
Raised beds are popular with young and old alike – fresh fruit and vegetables are often difficult or impossible to obtain and/or involve long journeys. Raised beds extend the season with higher yields and easier cultivation. The Corten steel material also offers protection against slugs and a uniquely durable, natural-looking surface. The applications for URBAN are limitless, whether for permanent planting, partitioning, or as a standalone centerpiece in landscaping; the beds can be used as borders or placed against walls and fences – anything is possible.

Delivery condition: mill finish
The weatherproof structural steel is processed in its mill-finished state. Therefore, in its normal delivery condition, the elements are mill-finished and either not rusted or only slightly rusted.
Patina development
During the production and processing of the raw steel sheets, no patina has yet formed on the surface. This only develops through natural weathering. The formation of the visually appealing surface begins after 2-3 weeks and is only complete after 1.5 to 3 years. The alternation between wet and dry weather is crucial for the formation of the protective layer. If there are surface areas that are not exposed to this weathering, the vibrant, elegant rust patina will not develop there.
