DIY Plans: Josh’s Arched Garden Bed

Grow Vertically. Protect What Matters.

If you’ve been wanting to grow vertically and protect your crops — this system does both.

Josh’s Arched Garden System combines a cattle panel tunnel for vertical crops with a fully fenced raised bed running alongside it. The tunnel gives your vine crops height and airflow, while the raised bed provides a protected growing space safe from animals, pets, and everyday traffic.

This design was built to be practical, expandable, and beginner-friendly.

Named after our rooster Josh — who rests beneath the very first bed — this structure has become one of our most productive growing systems.

What This System Includes

• Clear dimensions and material list
• Step-by-step build instructions
• Expandable layout

Why This System Works

• Grow vine crops up and over the arch
• Keep greens, peppers, flowers, and more protected below
• Install directly over grass — no tilling required
• Protect against rabbits, chickens, dogs, kids, and more
• Maximize space without overcomplicating your garden

This DIY Build Guide Is For You If You Want To:

• Build a structured vertical growing system
• Add protection without building a full enclosure

• Create a productive, expandable garden layout

Build once. Grow for years.
