Anyone know what type of wood this would be. Saw these in a garden centre today and thought,that they should be very easy to make up. Just need to know what type of wood these raised planters would be made from?? The price tag says that there no toxins or harmfull chemicals in them,but doesnt say what type of wood it is.:(

I'd say Larch but wouldn't stake my life on it. It looks similar to larch that I've worked with recently.

But even if Cedar, I'd question life span under the damp soil conditions.

Yes i would say larch also, its more common than cedar and is very resistant to water without treatment
