They're not really raised - just contained within raised dirt berms and 4 feet was too wide to reach to the center comfortably. It also makes it easy to lay out the beds in 18 inch square blocks (a variation on sqft) using the 18 inch nursery flats with 1 inch between the blocks and 1 inch from the edges.between and 1 inch at the edges.
