this looks like 2x8 boards for a 16" height, correct? 4x4 support on the outside with a 1x6 around the top, correct? Do you put the gravel under the planter bed for drainage or under the boards to keep the wood off the ground? Do you line the inside with a landscape fabric?

    Rob, when using the pond liner, do you have holes in the bottom for drainage?

    We only line the sides with pond liner and the bottom remains open to the ground with gravel for drainage.

    jessejana,
    And in addition install landscape fabric (low density) between the soil and gravel, then the dirt will not clog the drainage layer

    Rob: Outstanding job with this project. I'm curious, what type of stain or oil did you use? This is by far our favorite raised bed example. We're copying your plan for sure. Thanks!

    Are the posts in the ground? How deep? Or are they sitting on the ground?

    Just a few comments after installing this...I used landscape fabric on the sides to keep dirt off the lumber. The post on the outside stop sides from bowing from dirt pressure. Posts are about 6" deep and hold bottom boards just above ground. I filled in wood chips so gap didn't show. Filled boxes with a high quality soil mix and planted tomatoes. Great results.

    Has anyone added a trellis? I built 3 garden boxes, but as I am growing cucumbers & peas, would like to add a trellis. If so, please share your inspiration. Thanks.

    I grew cantaloupe on a trellis last year. when the fruit got big enough, I used knee high pantyhose, making a cut down the top placed the cantaloupe in the pantyhose tied it to the trellis taking the weight off the vine.

    We based our beds on this design and love it. Since we're in California, we used redwood rather than cedar. The outside dimensions are 8'x4'6"x2'. We used carriage bolts on the corners and pressure treated wood for the outside posts. We didn't use a liner since the last beds I had in our garden were also built with redwood and survived 20 years with little to no rot. And since we have well-engineered plumbing and drainage system underneath the entire yard, we didn't add a drainage layer beneath the soil in the bed. The plumbing includes a separate irrigation station for each bed to which we connected drip lines. Although a layer of gopher wire would be recommended for most locales we've never had any gophers or moles here so it wasn't included. The soil was trucked in from American Soils in Richmond CA, the Local Hero type they sell.

    Someone asked about a trellis....really easy with 1x1. We used strings for the beans to climb and easy to cut off after the season. The cross bars were attached with a thin plywood cut in squares, then cut corner to corner.

    Did i ask that question>?? Don't remember!

    What are you planting? we haven't even stared ours! HhAHAHAHAHAHA!

    My new neighbor i was telling them about the raised beds Hwbudden and i told him what wood we used to go around it and he just wasnt sure i was right! How long of boreds do you need to make a bed?

    Does it just depend on how big or not?

    Just wondered!

    you can let me know at your convenience!

    Thanks!
