I went to Home Depot yesterday & was looking at the cedar fence wood!! Wanted a day to search YouTube, and here you are!! Woo hoo!! This is the fam’s Memorial Day Weekend project 🇺🇸 Thank youuuu!!

Instead of going in the ground you could get some fencing that will also keep the moles out and attach it to the bottom. That will help it keep its shape once filled, keep the moles out, allow you to relocate them easily, not have to dig holes.

I am a veteran who has been trying to use growing my own vegetables, has a therapeutic way I've had some trials and errors but your videos are very helpful thank you

I’ve been building my raised beds for customers using this method for the past few years! Great to see somebody else doing it as well!

I have fence sections I plan to use for building raised beds. So glad I stumbled on this video. Thank you.

Thanks to your video, I was able to build 2 raised beds today! I have never made any kind of wood working project and was super intimidated to try this. But thanks to your very easy to follow instructions, I did it! Thanks so much for making the video.

Extremely well done video. Simple, direct and had the details needed. I used 1 5/8" exterior screws and the materials for 1 bed today at Lowes cost me about $75 in the Central PA region. I just finished building one and my wife is overjoyed. Thank you very much.

What a great idea magnet on wrist to hold screws!!

Such a great idea. I was at the big box store the other day asking for the landscape timber. On the way there I noticed cedar fence panels on the way and stopped to think about this. The worker suggested I buy a raised bed kit from the front of the garden center. I laughed.

Very nice ! I just finished up about 7 small raised beds using the cedar pickets for my garden. They were easy to make and the cedar should last a long time. Mine are just 6 ft x 12 inches deep x 13 inches wide. First year to try them out. I do have a video up on them on my channel. I subscribed !

Glad I found this video, I’ve built a few raised bed gardens in the past, some more elaborate than others. I’m now building one almost identical to yours except I’m using 4x4 (3.5 x 3.5) ground use posts for the corners and midpoints. I never thought about digging footers for more support though, thanks for the ideas!!

Thank you so much for your step by step on how to build a raised bed. I've been wanting to build one for a while now. I'm going to home depot tomorrow

[TheShutterbug]

Great job, I am currently building with 2x8 stacked double high. I do like your thinner fenceboard option. Next time I might do a few like yours. Cheaper and they look nice. thanks for your videos.

[danielboles]

I used plastic deck boards for my last 2 beds, but I like your way much better. The cedar is a better way to go. Thanks, great and to the point. I'm subscribed.

Great idea placing branches, twigs leaves at bottom. Will compost over time and fills in the garden. Saves $$.

[galecooney]

Love your videos...and NOW I know what to do with all the dead branches I have from cutting trees down on property. Thanks

[marina]

Thank you for such a straight forward and easy tutorial!! I am heading to the store now to buy the materials and make my beds. Much appreciated.

[lindseyreyes]

I have been watching a few of your videos today. I can see a metal roofing raised bed with pressure-treated 2x4's as the external support and the cedar fence pickets as the rim along the top. Thanks for your great ideas!

[LowVlogDrives]

I'm glad I ran into this video because my planter would've had straight dirt .lol. thank u

[BrassPeace]

I'm totally gonna do this! I have a small area near the house next to a shed where I can harvest rainwater from to water the beds. Can't wait to get started!
