With this pandemic, we would like to plant more vegetables and fruits in our backyard. We looked into pots and already made raised beds, but they were really expensive and not our dimensions.
Here is a tutorial on a galvanized raised bed we made. By using galvanized roofing material as the structure it will last much longer versus using wood.
*Note: These measurements work for us. You would have to calculate your own measurements.
Total supply cost: $70, but it could be cheaper if you use different wood/supplies. We went with cedar and galvanized screws so we can ensure this will last us a very long time!
Total Time: 1 day
Yield: 4 ft by 8 ft

These are fantastic. I have several and will have more as the year progresses.
Thank you. I am working on another one. :)
These look great!
Thank you kindly! :)
Do the galvanized sheets go on the bottom and then something else is placed across the top to make the raised bed?
The galvanized sheets are placed inside the wooden sides. The wood is what raises it off the ground.
