DESIGNED BY TEFORA
At Tefora Garden, we believe every garden should grow as beautifully as the ideas behind it.
Our optional bracing rods provide added stability and long-term support for selected extended Tefora raised garden bed layouts. They are especially helpful for longer configurations that may benefit from extra reinforcement after the bed is filled with soil.
QUICK SIZE GUIDE

Reinstall and tighten the exterior bolts so the rod supports the two opposing panels.
