Boum raised bed with integrated water tank and controller
The first Boum raised bed with an integrated 190L water tank and adapted controller! The first 20 units are exclusive prototypes, assembled by hand by the Boum team in Bern, with close guidance and enhanced support.
Assembly by Boum staff is available by arrangement.
The product is based on a classic raised bed with the footprint of a Euro pallet, measuring 120 × 80 cm. The Euro pallet provides a stable foundation. On top sits a pallet collar lined with robust, waterproof pond liner, serving as an integrated water reservoir with a capacity of around 190 litres.
A pallet lid covers the water reservoir and also forms the base of the planting area. A pipe carries water from the tank to the controller, which is housed in a protective waterproof box in one corner of the raised bed. The controller is solar-powered and can be connected and operated via the Boum App.
Up to 20 drippers distribute water evenly and efficiently from above across the raised bed. Excess watering or rainwater is channelled back into the integrated tank. This allows water to be recirculated, keeping watering largely autonomous and independent for as long as possible.
Delivery is arranged with you. The raised bed is delivered to the kerbside by a freight carrier.
The following illustrations and product images have been edited using AI to illustrate how the Boum raised bed works. Details may differ in the actual prototypes.
Compact
Everything in the Boum raised bed is built into a compact design. The water tank sits beneath the soil to save space, while the controller sits in a corner of the raised bed, taking up only as much space as needed. If desired, the controller can also be fitted outside the soil area.
Assembly
The Boum raised bed sits on a pallet. If you prefer, the pallet can be fitted with castors to make it easier to move.
A durable pond liner lines the lower pallet frame, creating the largest possible water tank with a capacity of around 190L. A pallet lid covers the tank and also forms the base for the soil.
Depending on your preferred planting depth, 2-4 pallet frames, each 20cm high, can be fitted on top.
Water supply
A pipe fitted to the side makes it easy to fill the water tank from above. The suction hose for watering runs through the same pipe to the water tank, keeping the hose well protected.
