What are those beds made out of? Wood, plastic? I want material that won’t deteriorate like wood will.

They are made of vinyl and do not chalk (high titanium dioxide pigment). I've also added a vinyl (again non-chalking) fence and 4 more beds since the picture was taken.

I live in a surprisingly aggressive environment and I am finished with wood for exterior use. I was careful to specify non-chalking after our original vinyl siding began to fail. I have since replaced that with fiber cement board.

The only maintenance is some mold I remove with the power washer in spring.

I'll try to find the links for you. There are also cold frame options that fit into the beds for early spring and late fall use.

Here are the 4X4 Raised Beds. The price has gone up substantially over the past two years. Ouch. There may be other suppliers with better prices.
