Can I move them?

A planter, easily, when empty. Full of wet soil, no, but neither can anything else. A raised bed is built where it stands.

Will the aluminium get too hot for the plants?

Powder-coated aluminium in a textured dark finish does warm up in direct sun, the same as any dark planter. A liner and an adequate soil volume handle it. For anything sensitive or a very exposed south-facing position, talk to us.

How does drainage work?

Depends where it’s going. On a hard surface you’ll want drainage holes and a gap beneath; on soil, an open base works. For a bed on soil, a membrane underneath stops perennial weeds coming up through it. Tell us the situation and we’ll spec it.

Do they need lining?

The aluminium doesn’t need protecting from soil, but a liner helps you control drainage and keeps the inside face clean. We’d recommend one, and for edibles in a raised bed it’s a sensible extra step.
