Written by So, an innocent conversation with friends, about the possibility of having raised garden beds and whether they could place one on the side of a hill, turned into my latest woodworking project. It all started with manufacturing the sides and ends by cutting and combining boards to get walls that were 12.5″ deep. Then some pilot holes, plastic lining (last year’s backyard ice rink), some weed block, support for the corners, and a 3 1/2″ lip all the way around (to lean on or sit on), and I had a finished product.
This original version of my raised garden bed ended up being 4′ x 6′ (outside measurement), and 14″ deep. It included plastic lining on the inside, and also enough weed block to cover the ends and the 6′ length of the bed.
The 4′ x 6′ Deep Raised Garden Bed is only $200.00 and comes already assembled, but unfinished. The stained version (outside coverage only) is $225.00. I can make custom sized beds as well. (As of now, these are customer pick-up only)
A few of the more popular sizes are listed here, without, or with, stain. These are all based on a bed/box that is at least 12″ deep.
Enjoy!
