# Should I use a fabric or plastic liner for my raised bed?

When lining your raised bed, we recommend using a [damp-proof membrane liner (DPM)](https://www.woodblocx.co.uk/raised-bed-liner-dpm) - this type of liner will give your WoodBlocX structure maximum protection.

When lining the bottom of your raised bed on soft ground types, a permeable / breathable fabric should be used to allow for excess water drainage.
