How to Build Beautiful DIY Raised Garden Beds in 3 minutes!
Build portion of the video starts at 0:55 - 3:30
....And then about 8 minutes of me talking about the beds and answering questions...haha!
In the video I will show you how I build my raised garden beds with basic lumber and corrugated roofing metal. The beds are not only beautiful but also durable and easy to build as well!

Thanks for watching and let me know if you have any questions.

My husband built three of these and after thirty years of gardening this is the BEST idea hands down. Installed a timer on the spigot to soaker hoses for each one. No bending over and I can pick weeds and drink coffee. THANK YOU!

We just bought some of these boxes that were built by a local man here in Idaho. They are 4 feet tall. Wonderful for us old time gardeners. We filled them with bales of hay to help with the cost of filling them up. Yes, overtime it will break down...but then we will fill up again next year with more compost. He built them with some corrugated panels from Australia that are coated and will not rust. So far I am loving them. 4ft wide ones are a little hard to reach across so we bought 3 ft by 8ft. Good job and they look so nice.

So wonderful to see an Actual Handyman that still makes his own and does his own handy work, instead of hiring out or just buying it🤗 Great work looks fantastic, knowing how to "Do it Yourself" is so important & rewarding
to Reap the Rewards of your Labor😍

This is the best bed video I've seen. For my needs in Texas I would add bent PVC piping to hold anti animal netting / tarps for rain, but I love this design. It's cost effective and built to last. Really well done

[kpratt]

Not only ethically pleasing, but a lot more gentle on the wallet. Especially with the cost of wood right now.

Totally agree about the benefits of shade in a hot climate. I live in Australia and we have covered our entire veggie garden with 30% white shade cloth. It stops things getting burnt in summer and saves a lot water because evaporation is reduced significantly. When you walk in there on a hot day it is quite a lot more humid in there but the white is very bright so no trouble with photosynthesis. Great video and design that makes it easy to vary the height. Cheers.

Just wanted to thank you for this video. I’ve never built anything before and was looking for a how to video fire raised needs. I watched a bunch, but yours was the best. It inspired me, and I did it!

[lakeboat]

Real Deal right here! Thank you. Built 2 4x8 beds and I love them... neighbors think "my" design is the coolest.

[richardstamper]

Hi Joe, we saw these on your channel and thought they looked fab so we made one 7' x 5' to go in our back garden. As you say, real easy to build and extremely easy on the eye. We plan to make a few smaller ones to compliment the area but overall so much cheaper than trying to build it solely out of wood. The tin adds a bit of industrial drama but is nicely softened by the wood. Top job.

Wow.i wish I had a husband who was magic with his hands like you are.... and So useful.... ( make my gardening dreams come true😊)

[rosewood]

Love these beds. I imagine that the metal would reflect the sun away from the plants. I wish I had seen this before I built my 16 raised beds. I am not about to move all that dirt. Thanks great video.

[TheCrunchbird]

There are many videos on YouTube on how to make raised beds but yours is by far the very best. You might point out for those people who don't own a lot of tools that a cheap pair of tin snips can be used to cut the corrugated metal. It just takes a little longer. All in all, this is one great video, Thank you so much for sharing your great ideas. Dave in rural NE Florida where we get an abundance of rain to go along with the all the sunshine.

Those look really nice! I'm definitely going to use the 3x3 flashing in the corners. I have a tip for anyone using galvanized roofing metal. After you cut it use cold galvanized spray paint on the cuts. This will keep it from rusting, !

[abrahamu]

10:45 lol you are spot on on these comments. Thank you. Playing w the idea of building us one them raised beds. Have a great weekend man.

[SeeSpotSit]

We just made a couple of these! I love them. Definitely more work than I anticipated (I am just learning how to do all of the things...made my first 45 degree angle on my miter saw making these!) Thank you for great instructions :)

[markramsdell]

Thank you! Followed your plan - more or less - to make three 4x6x2 beds & very happy with how they turned out. Recommend an air nibbler to cut the corners and corrugate panels. $25 @ Harbor Freight, cut easily & quickly and no evidence of becoming dull after completing these 3 beds.

[nelidacastillo]

I love how you did those beds in so short a time, great job!

[thomasgibbons]

I'm relocating to Appalachia [East Kentucky} and noticed a garden in a very lovely site in the mountains near us whose raised beds are exactly as yours. I was planing to introduce myself soon as possible to learn the technique, but I'm thinking finding you is all I need . I must add, Arizona is a truly unique experience for the traveler. My wife and me toured the canyon {north rim] then drove south to Sedona, along the Oak creek road . Can't say enough. Also anyone visiting Phoenix make sure to dine at rhe Mandarin Palace. Thank you my friend for this very interesting experience.

[funny-video-YouTube-channel]

Beautiful result !
Great esthetics on the very small budget. Will copy in my garden.

Also, plants with red fruit love metal. Gardeners use rusty metal on soil for that.

[Darkice]

I love this design. I need to add about 24 raised beds in my yard and i almost went with concrete blocks. This is way more practical and if in the end i don't want them anymore, easy to remove.
