ShelterLogic 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.

ShelterLogic builds fabric-covered steel structures: portable garages, winter car shelters, utility and run-in shelters, commercial canopies, GrowIT greenhouses, shade sails and firewood racks. The frame is steel with a rust-resistant finish and the cover is woven polyethylene, so a shelter goes up without a foundation and comes down at the end of the season if you want the space back. The ShelterCoat and ShelterTube garage lines are wind- and snow-load rated and are built to stay up year-round.
IPATIO lists ShelterLogic garages and storage shelters from 8 x 8 to 16 x 44 ft — the ShelterCoat round, peak and barn profiles and the taller ShelterTube frame — plus car shelters, utility shelters and Shed-in-a-Box units, canopies, run-in and livestock shelters, GrowIT greenhouses and the replacement covers and enclosure kits that fit them. The catalogue by series and size is at the bottom of this page.

ShelterLogic FAQ
What is the difference between ShelterCoat and ShelterTube?
Both are wind- and snow-load rated steel-frame garages. ShelterCoat comes in three roof profiles — round, peak and barn — and covers the widest size range, 8 x 8 to 16 x 44 ft. ShelterTube is the taller, fully enclosed tube-frame garage, made for a truck, an RV or equipment that needs headroom. The sizes of each are listed above this FAQ.
Can a ShelterLogic shelter stay up through a Canadian winter?
The ShelterCoat and ShelterTube garages carry a wind and snow-load rating and are built to stay up year-round: anchor them properly for your base, keep the cover drum-tight, and clear heavy snow off after a big storm rather than letting it build up. The lighter canopy and Shed-in-a-Box covers are not snow-load rated — take the cover down before winter.
Do you sell replacement covers for ShelterLogic canopies?
Yes — we list replacement tops, enclosure kits, extension kits and anchor bags, including the MaxAP, SuperMax and UltraMax canopy lines. Covers are ordered by line and size, so check both before buying: a 12 x 20 SuperMax top does not fit a 12 x 20 UltraMax frame.
What is a run-in shelter?
A run-in is a three-sided shelter horses and livestock can walk into on their own, out of sun, rain and wind. We list run-in, corral and small-livestock shelters in 3x4, 4x4, 8x10, 10x10, 12x12, 12x20, 13x20, 13x24, 20x22, 22x24 ft, plus enclosure kits for the corral shelters.
What is GrowIT?
GrowIT is ShelterLogic's greenhouse line — the same steel frame and cover construction, with a greenhouse-grade translucent cover. IPATIO lists GrowIT greenhouses in 4x4, 4x6, 6x8, 10x10, 10x20, 12x20, 12x24 ft, including Greenhouse-in-a-Box and heavy-duty round and peak models.
