How much soil will I need?
Calculating the quantity of soil you will require to fill your beds is relatively simple; you just need to multiply the length of your bed by the width and the depth in metres, multiply by 1000 and the figure you arrive at is the amount of compost you'll need in litres. All the Rolawn soil we supply is delivered in 730 litre tote bags so you can tell immediately how many bags you'll need to order. There is a calculator on the Rolawn Soil page or the example below should help you with this;
2.4m long x 1.2m wide x 20cm deep = (2.4 x 1.2 x 0.2) x 1000 = 576 litres - 1 x 730 litre tote bag required
For the best growing results, we'd advise you to fill your beds with 75% topsoil and use a bulky organic matter - such as farmyard manure or home-made compost - to make up the other 25%. For more details on filling your raised bed, please contact our Customer Services Team.

Product Reviews
Purchased two 1.2x2.4 3-tier beds in anthracite. Beds look lovely, are sturdy and well manufactured, with clear assembly instructions. While delayed, items arrived well packaged. Only reason for 4* overall is the assembly. Took hours. Many, many hours.
Overall we are very satisfied with the raised beds, they look very smart. The bolt fittings are mostly inside the structures - which gives them a neat, modern clean line but makes construction more tricky. It was a little fiddly to put them together but fine when I found the correct size spanner! We were not so happy with delivery arrangement. My husband spoke with Sabrina who was very nice and told us that we would receive 2 or 3 days notice from the delivery company, which was important as I had just broken my ankle & wanted to be sure my husband would be at home. However, I received a phone call to advise delivery at the same time as the delivery driver rang the doorbell. It was a little stressful as the driver was not happy when I asked him to deliver the some of the packages about 5 metres further along the side of the house for me, (instead of leaning them up across a window). Difficult to rate performance as we have yet to start using them but they look very sturdy
