Q.Using Leftover Plastic Garden Shed Panels For Raised Bed?

Zone 19426 | Anonymous added on May 14, 2021 | Answered

We have 4 large rectangular plastic walls left over from a plastic garden shed—maybe From Suncast Company. Would they be safe to make into a raised bed? How can I find out about the plastic used in them?

You'll need to contact the company to find out whether there's any toxicity in this plastic. If not, the only problem I could see is that there isn't much porosity in plastic, so water may pool or not evaporate as well with a wood or stone structure. It may be a good idea to put holes in the material. I hope this works out for you.
