,Hello Alberta, You local Disability shop should be able to help you, or you can buy them on -line. Are the tree sprouting up under your bed and is that why you need the Bed Raisers? If it is a and you need help, call your Local Authority and ash them for their advice with this problem,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Best wishes............
Depending upon how high you want your raised bed, you could mount it atop a series of pallets, concrete blocks, or you could build a frame with a stainless steel/other metal bottom, and attach multipleposts to it for stability, atop which you attach your raised bed.
Most use a really heavy 6 mil. plastic in the beds to prevent wood rot and weeds. If you don't think you will get enough drainage, then I would go with one of the new garden bed liners, woven poly, to prevent too much water.
