Raised beds higher?

Can the raised beds be customized to be even higher? I have very arthritic knees which makes gardening (my favorite pastime!!) more challenging now... Hope so!

    Yes. Because we custom build our garden systems on site (we're often asked if they come in kits) we are able to make the beds as high as you like. Attached is a photo of a garden system that has beds 12, 18 & 24 inches high

    When I do raised beds for clients, I always specify a minimum height of 22", with a 6" lip around the rim, so you have a place to sit and set tools or harvest baskets. Beds should also be no wider than 3' 6" (42") to reduce back strain when tending the garden. Contractors always want to do 4' beds, but the extra 6" produces back strain when tending the middle of the bed, especially if you're under 6' tall.

    Thanks. It's surprising how much produce you can get from a 7' x 8' bed like this.
