Arrow Planters & Raised Beds

Growing in a container or a raised bed beats growing in the ground in most Canadian yards: the soil warms earlier, drains after a wet spring, and you choose what is in it instead of fighting clay or a tree's roots. The range here comes from Miracle-Gro, Arrow and ShelterLogic; current prices are shown in the list below.

Nearly all of it is raised garden beds — galvanized metal and wood, 2' x 4' up to 4' x 8', from about 11 in. deep for salad and herbs to 17 in. and more for carrots, potatoes and tomatoes. Start there; it is where the range is.

Planters and raised beds FAQ

A raised bed or a planter?

A raised bed if you are growing food: the footprint gives roots room to spread sideways and the soil volume holds moisture through a hot week. A planter for a patio, a balcony or anything you want to move — smaller soil volume, so it waters more often.

How much soil will I need?

Length × width × depth in feet gives cubic feet; divide by 27 for cubic yards. A 4 x 8 ft bed at 11 in. deep takes roughly 30 cu ft, about eight 4 cu ft bags. Use garden soil mixed with compost, not pure potting mix, which drains too fast in a large bed.

Is galvanized metal safe for vegetables?

Yes. The zinc coating is stable at garden soil pH and what migrates into the soil is negligible. Metal also warms faster in spring, which is the main reason to choose it in Canada.

Do they come apart for winter?

No need. Metal and treated-wood beds stay in place year-round; top the soil up with compost in the fall, since a bed settles a few inches each season.

Arrow builds steel outdoor buildings that ship flat and bolt together on a level base: galvanized storage sheds, metal carports and prefab garage-size buildings. The shed lines cover compact pent-roof and patio models (Yardsaver, Spacemaker Patio), low- and high-gable kits (EZEE Shed), the mid-size Classic, Select and Elite steel sheds, the Woodridge coffee and woodgrain finish, the Ironwood steel hybrid kit, the garage-size Murryhill, and a resin series. Carports are galvanized steel frames in 7, 9 and 14 ft leg heights that take one-, two- and three-sided enclosure kits.

IPATIO lists Arrow sheds from 2 x 4 to 14 x 31 ft and carports from 10 x 15 to 14 x 51 ft, plus the floor frame kits, shelving, roof strengthening kits, enclosure panels and anchors made for them. Every series and size is listed at the bottom of this page.

Arrow FAQ

What sizes of Arrow sheds can I buy in Canada?

Arrow sheds at IPATIO run from 2 x 4 to 14 x 31 ft. The small end is the resin series and the compact Yardsaver and Spacemaker Patio models, for a balcony or a side yard; Classic, Select, Elite and EZEE Shed cover the usual backyard sizes; the Murryhill is the garage-size building (the 14 x 31 ft building is a Murryhill). The sizes we carry are listed above this FAQ.

Do Arrow sheds come with a floor?

No. Arrow steel sheds are wall-and-roof kits that anchor to a level base you prepare — a concrete pad, patio slabs or a wooden platform. Arrow sells a matching floor frame kit for most shed lines, and we list those with the shed and garage accessories; you supply the plywood or deck boards that sit in the frame.

Which Arrow shed line should I choose?

By footprint and roof: Yardsaver has a pent (single-slope) roof for tight spots against a wall; Spacemaker Patio is the shallow patio model; EZEE Shed comes in low gable and extra-high gable for headroom; Classic, Select and Elite are the mid-size steel sheds; Woodridge adds a coffee and woodgrain finish; Ironwood is a steel hybrid kit; Murryhill is the garage-size building, up to 14 x 31 ft.

Can an Arrow carport be closed in?

Yes. The carport is a galvanized steel frame, and enclosure kits close one, two or three sides — they are sold separately and sized to the carport, so order the kit that matches your frame. The enclosure panels and anchor kits are listed under carport accessories.

What sizes and heights do Arrow carports come in?

Arrow carports at IPATIO run from 10 x 15 to 14 x 51 ft, in 7, 9 and 14 ft leg heights — the taller frames take an RV or a raised truck. The full size list is above this FAQ.
