Our standard one-year limited warranty protects against defects in materials and workmanship under normal gardening conditions from your original purchase date.
For Cedar raised beds purchased after April 2024, we've enhanced protection with an exclusive 3-year warranty against rot and decay.
To maintain this coverage, you'll need to complete assembly within 90 days of delivery and perform regular maintenance like repainting as needed.
Should you discover any issues, submit warranty claims within 7 days of noticing the defect.
Remember that improper assembly or neglecting to place your bed on a stable foundation may void your coverage—we've designed these terms to guarantee your garden investment thrives for years.
What Our Warranty Protects & What It Doesn't
Although we stand firmly behind the quality of our raised beds, understanding exactly what your warranty covers is crucial for complete peace of mind. Your warranty protects against defects in materials and workmanship for 1-3 years, depending on your product tier.
| Coverage | Details | Customer Responsibility |
|---|---|---|
| Covered | Split cedar components | Timely reporting within 7 days |
| Covered | Failed joinery elements | Maintain original assembly |
| Not Covered | Natural weathering/color changes | Regular maintenance |
| Not Covered | Storm damage or misuse | Proper installation |
When defects appear in covered components, we'll replace them at no cost—with shipping fully covered during the warranty period. Remember that timely reporting of workmanship issues guarantees your protection remains valid, while natural aging processes and extreme weather damage fall outside warranty terms.
