RollingPlanters are Mobile Raised Bed Planters
Every RollingPlanter is a raised bed planter. Raised bed planters make gardening more accessible for avid, beginning and physically challenged gardener. The standard RollingPlanters allow, for most part, 
gardening to be performed from a stool, chair, kneeling or if desired, a comfortable standing position.
RollingPlanter tries to make the standard planters at the proper height so they will not impair your view. They enhance the beauty of your home by allowing vegetables, flowers and other small plant growth to form a pleasant green environment.
Deeper cavity RollingPlanters are made for growing trees, while other planters are made for boundaries, deviders, for commercial establishments, privacy walls, balconies and rooftops.
RollingPlanters have non-marking lockable commercial quality 
wheels. The wheels are 3 inches tall. The height enables them to easily transverse thresholds and other small obstructions in their path. Optional wheel heights and types are optionally available to adjust the planters ability to roll over almost any terrain.
All RollingPlanters may be optionally purchased without wheels.
Strong Points:
- Compact: In small urban plots, where one has little room or lack of good soil, the planters allow small hard surfaced areas to be transformed into productive gardens.
- Tasty Food: Vegetables and fruits taste better when they are allow to ripen naturally on the vine. Naturally ripen food provides more nutrients and enzymes our bodies need.
- Environment: Growing your own food allows you to know exactly which pesticides (preferably not), fertilizers, soil, seed stock used. Many vegetables, herbs, berries and fruits are grown in places far from where we live. By growing your food “locally” you’re also reducing the carbon foot print.
- Mobility: Move planters to different positions on your hard surfaces. Heavy duty commercial grade locking casters allow for easy movement and mobility. This mobility allows areas to be quickly converted and used for social, sport, parking, and other activities.
- Waste Management: Provides a means to use garden and kitchen scraps (non-meat and dairy) as compost. By composting one lessens the chance for landfills to fill up and provides healthier soil that is alive with enzymes, beneficial bacteria and fungi that are beneficial to plant growth..
Planter Construction:
All RollingPlanters are mobile, unless the fixed position option is chosen. The planters come in standard width and length configurations of: 14 x 35" to 4 x 8.' Standard height is 25," optional heights up to 48." Custom sizes are available. When shipped RollingPlanters are fully or nearly fully assembled.
Most of our planters are made from “new growth” sustainable forest lumber that is either certified by the FSC, Forest Stewardship Council, or by the SFI, Sustainable Forest Initiative. A good portion of the lumber we use is rough sawn cedar planks (When possible RollingPlanter will use recycled materials). Cedar boards are used for the side panels of the "Vertical," "Craftsman," style planter.. The "Horizontal," "Prairie," style sides and frame, as the"Craftsman" style frames are
made from 
kiln dried Douglas fir. In our own shop, Douglas fir is cut into strips and laminated together, planed and then sanded. Douglas fir is used on the chassis, pedestals and all vertical solutions for supper structural strength . Cedar and Redwood are not strong stress tolerant structural 
woods as Douglas fir. New growth Douglas fir has more tanins than new growth redwood.
After lamination, all boards are planed, filled, and sanded smooth to touch. The boards and planks are handsomely bolted or screwed together (We do not use flimsy rods,clips,pegs, nails or staples for the final assembly. Much of the planters hardware is made of case hardened steel that is coated with a heavy epoxy or ceramic finishes. These finishes hold up and resist weather, moisture and corrosions). The interiors are lined with a heavy woven tri-ply reinforced polyethylene resin fabric liner. Every box is plumbed with special marine industry hardware for drainage. The hardware is designed that tubing may be attached to direct excess water spillage to other plants or containers (this can prevents water stains and promotes 
water conservation).
The boxes are easily moved without soil and in most cases, even 
when soil and plants have been added. The mobility of the full planter depends on the ground slope, the surface material and planter size. The wheels are industrial quality and NSF certified. Last, all wheels are securely bolted and installed with a locking brake.

Choice of "Vertical" Craftsman Style or "Horizontal" Prairie Style Planter
Vertical or Craftsman Style is our classic design. RollingPlanter started with this look. Vertical means that the boards run vertical between top and bottom frame. The vertical boards are made of solid cedar planks. Its a great look, but for some it is not. So we made another style the"Horizontal" or Prairie Style. To some the Prairiel Style is more modern and the Craftsman is more traditional
The Prairie Style the boards run simply horizontal. The board construction is built like the frame: strips of kiln dried Douglas fir that are laminated to make structural boards. The boards are fastened together with chinking and framing.
Pedestal Option:
We have designed and developed rolling raised bed planters for people with special needs or have been restricted by handicaps, injuries and/or age. By providing taller planters rollingplanter has eliminated the need for one to bend over or rise from a seated position. We offer many planters that are sized to accomidate people who require wheel chairs, walkers, and other mobility devices.
Currently we offer pedestal planters at 32" tall. All planters can be made at custom heights between 24 and 42."

Fixed Position Option:
All our planter can be provided without wheels. We do not offer a planter without a bottom floor.. Bottomless planters in general do not last as long as those which do have a bottom and are lined. A bottomless planter is always subjected to the elements. Rot occurs because part of the box's wood is always exposed. Boxes like this last three to five years in most parts. The planters last less time, if they were built with staples, nails or other flimsy hardware.
Our main concern associated with bottomless planters is that this type of planter allows unwanted pest as shrews, gophers, woodchucks, rabbbits and other ground burrowing animals to enter your garden oasis without detection. By the time you have discovered them they have harvested your plot or made most of your food inedible. Our planters are provided with a sturdy constructed floors, that is impossible for unwanted critters to penetrate.
Our planters wooden feet that never touch the earth's surface. We have designed solid blocks of plastic that are securely anchored on the bottom of each planter foot. These plastic blocks are thick and provide a genuine barrier from ground elements.
With floors our planters conserve water. Instead of watering the ground you are watering the planter and the plants you are growing within it. You do have to mulch in order to slow surface evaporation. One finds, especially in the western and southern United States, that we have to be
concerned about water use. Droughts and water restrictions are going to become more important issues. We must concern ourself with this problem now and in the future. We must learn how to conserve water.
As the rolling and the pedestal planter, these planter use the same construction methods, materials and drainage system.
Trellis and Vertical Planter Options:
This planter system was developed for our Rooftop and Small Space Enthusiasts Great for restaurants and urban patios that need shade and privacy screening.
The Trellis System is designed for our 2.5.' 3,' 4' and 6 long planters. Its 7' tall and sturdy. Provides a structure to grow vine vegetable, such as: cucumbers, beans, tomatoes; and the strength to providing a path for espalier trees and woody vines.
Vertical Planting System Option:
The Vertical Planter Systems are designed for almost all or planters excluding CAFE models. Three tiers of shelves can be hung on adjustable supports or one can use all the supports of part to make a privacy screen. RollingPlanter provide two types of hanging boxes: 7.5 inches tall and 15.5 inches tall. The taller boxes are made so tomatoes and other vine growing plants can cascade downward and provide shade to plants that require shade.
Not only do boxes and hang on the supports now called rails, but so do vines. The rail and vines growth provide a privacy screen. In addition to supporting boxed shelf planters, we have developed a bench/potting table that can hung between planters. Likewise, planters that are too short in length can still support the hanging planters, rails, bench or table.
Irrigation and Self Watering Options:
One thing RollingPlanter does not want you to do is to compromise the 20 mil liner. Should the liner be compromised, part the planter could be subject to rot and tarnish its appearance. You may ask why one would compromise a RollingPlanter.
Most of the time we have found a person desires to put a planter on a timed watering device. They run some irrigation lines to the box and to bring them into the box they drill. The person who is drilling is a gardener and gardeners are not carpenters, should we say more.
RollingPlanter provides these channels so irrigation line tubes can be installed at the time of setup or much later. You as the customer must decide at the time of purchase whether you want this option. We call these channels a snorkel. Our channel is large enough to change tubes out when they become dysfunctional and permit tubes up to 1/2" in diameter to fed through.
Another watering option is our Self Watering Option. The self watering option is an underground cavern that provided by porous cavity we make an offer. It allows water to held in the below surface cavern and by natural capillary action of the soil delivers the water into the growing medium keeping your planters contents constantly moist. An overflow drain is provided on the bottom of the planter and two filling accesses are on the top of the planter box. One access has an overflow warning mechanism and the 
other is just an filling intake for the water.
After the planter is filled with soil and the reservoir is filled with water, one will not have water your planter for up to two weeks or more. 
This method is great for drought areas, for the soil evaporation rates is much lower than conventional irrigation. Provides better tasting vegetables than hydroponics and more.
Another watering option is turning the RollingPlanter into a small pond. Any planter can be converted into a pond by simply plugging the planters drains. We provide such plugs or you can purchase these at your local hardware store.
Once plugged you can plant water plants such as water lilies, raise fish. If you raise fish you might then become interested in our floating planter. The floating planter allows plants started in porous fiber to be placed in small baskets. The baskets bottom are allowed to be submerged in water, which allows the growing medium to remain moist. As the plant grows the roots reach out into the water where they are nourished by the moisture and minerals deposited by the fish. Its a great way to grow lettuce and leafy vegetables... Not the greatest solution for growing vegetables that you desire sugars and rich flavors (Stick to soil for growing tomatoes, squash, peppers, etc....
Stain Color Option:
The standard finish of the RollingPlanter is natural. The surfaces are filled and sanded and they are paint or oil ready. We do not believe in paint for paint requires much upkeep to keep in attractive. Rather, we believe in oil, first and stain as second.
RollingPlanter can oil your boxes or stain them with a transparent stain. Full pigment stains are not used(RollingPlanter wants the wood to show). There are nine stain color options: White, Light Grey, Dark Grey, Black, Dark Blue, Dark Green, Light Brown, Dark Brown and Oiled Natural.
The stains are a mixture of Canola oil (Rapeseed Oil), boric acid and iron oxide. There are no harmful chemical or toxins in the stain. Rapeseed Oil is used because from the time of the Industrial Revolution it was known to be the most penetrating oil. Boric acid is used to guard against boring insects, such as termites and beetles.
The swatches below are the solid pigment value. All stains are transparent. The wood veins and texture will alter the appearance.
