Why you’ll love Second Life Wood™
- Same performance as our Original cedar—sturdy, durable, naturally rot-resistant.
- Lower price for boards with more visible character (knots, color variation, minor cosmetic bowing).
- Modular & expandable—add posts/boards as your garden grows.
- Fast, tool-free assembly with our dovetail slide-in design.
What is Second Life Wood™? (Tap to expand)
Second Life Wood™ boards are brand-new cedar boards that show more of nature’s personality. You may see:
- Visible knots or unique grain patterns
- Color variation from board to board
- Minor cosmetic bowing/warping that doesn’t affect assembly or strength
These boards would traditionally be sorted out for cosmetic reasons only. Choosing Second Life Wood™ keeps beautiful material in use—and keeps more money in your pocket.
How does it differ from the Original line?
Same cedar, same design, same assembly, same durability. The difference is purely aesthetic: more natural character on the boards and a lower price point.
Will my kit assemble correctly?
Yes. Our dovetail system is forgiving of cosmetic variation. If a board is unusually tight/loose, flip/rotate it or swap positions during assembly. Need a hand? Our team is happy to help.
What sizes/products are in this collection?
You’ll find Second Life Wood™ versions of our most popular raised beds and composters. Product pages list dimensions, capacity, and compatible expansions.
