# Do I need a liner in my raised beds?

[Read our protective liner instructions](https://www.woodblocx.co.uk/instructions/general/en/Protective-liner-instructions.pdf)

We strongly recommend installing a liner and drainage medium in all our WoodBlocX raised beds. Especially so if you are planning on using manure or organic fertilisers to grow with. We sell a [4x5m plastic liner](https://www.woodblocx.co.uk/raised-bed-liner-dpm) on our website. 

Adding a protective layer between the soil and BlocX will help to maximise the lifespan of your WoodBlocX structure.
