Hey friends, I'm SO excited to be sharing this DIY enclosed garden project with you! I've been wanting to build this for a while now and this year, I finally tackled it. It turned out even better than I imagined AND was even easier to build that I first thought.
I hope you enjoy watching it come together. If you want to build one of your own, I've got you covered!

(20) 2x2x8 boards
(8) fence post caps (optional)
OTHER MATERIALS NEEDED:
(25) cedar fence pickets (to build garden beds inside fence)
Welded wire fencing material (you’ll need 4 ft wide x 100 ft): homedepot.sjv.io/e4xA1Q
1 ¼″ exterior wood screws
2 ½” exterior wood screws

NOTE: There are varying opinions on using treated wood in and around the garden. I recommend you do your own research as there are a lot of factors to consider--not all soils are the same, not all treated wood is the same, not all applications are the same. We did our own research and built our garden the way we did intentionally and mindful of the pros and cons.
To be honest, what they're spraying on the crops in all of the fields nearby and all the garbage they add in processed foods are far more of a concern to me than treated wood posts...but I digress.

a Block of wood and and a clamp will hold your cross posts ,,, Very nice !

@cliff5240 2 месяца назад

Very nice garden and beautiful property!! I built 9 garden beds at the start of covid and added drip irrigation so I never water -- it was a game changer!

@SawdustmakerLori 11 месяцев назад

That turned out SOOO beautiful!!! It looks totally professional. If it were mine I would add a bench outside to just sit and admire the garden or perhaps you'll put your Adirondack chairs out there. Bubby looks like such a friendly cat. He always wants to be close by where you're working!

@WoodshopDiaries 11 месяцев назад

Thank you so much! A bench is a great idea! I’ve already been brainstorming some ideas 😉 Bubby is great company. Sometimes he’s in the way, but I appreciate his enthusiasm to see how he can assist haha.

@karenkeleher4924 10 месяцев назад

That is the best looking fenced in garden I have seen on you tube! nice work.

@loulunetta425 11 месяцев назад

Very Nice. My tip, if you are going to expand it in the future. When I fenced around my driveway, I used similar construction to your fence but used cedar boards instead of wire. To set the 2x4s, I put wooden screw clamps on the post at the desired height and just laid the 2x4 across them. I screwed in the pocket holes from the top and plugged them. I've also used the clamps as a saw guide to cut a flush top. I wasn't lucky enough to be on the flat.

@WoodshopDiaries 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for the tips! Sounds like you’ve got a nice set up!

Make sure to put your posts in to where your frost line is or below to make it last, especially if you want a gate. Two feet won't cut it in the northern states

@OhPervyOne 11 месяцев назад

I can actually help you on the post-holes. Recently, I've been learning about how to DIY a water well, watching several videos about how to dig your own shallow well. Many of these DIY videos featured a manual augur, with a 5/8" shaft and a wood handle. This attaches easily to 5-foot pipes to extend the handle, so you can dig deeper and deeper wells... 5' 10' 15' etc. I decided I must have one, so I headed to my local desktop PC to shop at Amzn. I found several apparently good augurs, by reading the Reviews section on each product. What stood out to me was something I hadn't thought of (but now will never forget): Post-hole diggers. MANY of the reviewers commented that they used their augur to dig post holes and ALL repeated the same thing: Once you dig post holes with a augur, you will never go back to that old two-shovel model post-hole digger again. They did mention that rocks and roots could be a problem and you'll have to dig those out with shovel or other tools, but it seems to me that's a minor irritant that anyone would have to deal with. So now I have two reasons to buy a manual augur. (I want to build a fenced garden, too.) I'm thinking this is something you may want to look into.

Your garden is absolutely beautiful! Wow!!! Very nice Shara! This was a great project. Plus, Bubby definitely approved! lol…. Thanks for sharing this one…. Have a nice weekend!

@WoodshopDiaries 11 месяцев назад

Thank you so much! Bubby showed up in the background of this video so many times 🤣 he kept checking up on me and trying to see how he could get involved. Lucy stayed on the porch in the shade like a smart dog haha. I hope you have a wonderful weekend as well and thanks so much for watching!

@adp75 4 дня назад

Impressive.

@brewster3987 11 месяцев назад

I love the proportions of this design; it all flows so well! You did an excellent job keeping things from being "zig-zaggy" (I'm totally putting that word in my vocabulary 😁). I can see why it's one of your favorites. I would not have thought to utilize the paver base and the spaced pavers the way you did - that turned out really well and I may have to "borrow" that idea for a future project. I will have to admit that I'm slightly skeptical about whether your enclosure will discourage deer... perhaps Kentucky deer aren't quite as adventurous as South Carolina deer - our deer don't care a fig about our four-foot fences!

@WoodshopDiaries 11 месяцев назад

So happy I can help add some more “fun” words to your vocabulary 🤣 I’m full of made up words I can share 😅 To be honest, we had ordered a ton of paver base for a turf project that didn’t work out and I thought…this is a great way to get rid of it 😆 I’m just glad we had somewhere to put some of it. We will see about the deer. So far so good 🤞 Ky deer are pretty skittish. We may hand some wind chimes or something to make noise out here and I’m betting they’ll get spooked.

@bonitakopera7201 10 месяцев назад

First time watching. That looks amazing . u should add lights to it . that will look awesome at night .

@janishackett5423 11 месяцев назад

@WoodshopDiaries 11 месяцев назад

I love to hear that. Thank you so much for watching and following along 💕

@vlaine73 11 месяцев назад

looks great! what you could do when setting those long upper horizontal 2x4's is use a scrap piece of 2x4 and clamp it to the 4x4 at the height you want, then rest the 2x4 on top of the scrap and level and attach the opposite side of the 2x4, then just go back, remove the clamp and the scrap piece and attach that side

@WoodshopDiaries 11 месяцев назад

That’s a great idea!

@artifactartstudio107 11 месяцев назад

This is so great! Your directions are so clear you make it seem all so simple. Very inspiring!😊

@WoodshopDiaries 11 месяцев назад

You're amazing! My garden heart is green with envy! Beautifully done! :)

@anthonybarbour7013 11 месяцев назад

If you ever find yourself needing to hold up a long board like that again, use a clamp on the end that needs support . You can just rest it on the bar of the clamp .

@WoodshopDiaries 11 месяцев назад

I never think about things until after the fact haha. 🤣

@DMAG-3200 11 месяцев назад

Hey Shara, that was a lot of work. But it did looked worth it. Came out beautiful. Nice job. Take a break and have a great weekend.👏👏👏

@WoodshopDiaries 11 месяцев назад

Thank you! It was definitely a lot of work but I’ve been wanting to do it for a while so it was definitely time and effort well spent. I had a lot of fun building and yes, I’m definitely ready for a a break 😅 I hope you have a wonderful weekend as well! 🙌

@TheSouthernLady777 11 месяцев назад

@wickedwinnie 8 месяцев назад

Love this, I've probably watched it 10 times as I'm getting ready to re-fence my garden and plan to follow this style. I love how you keep it simple and don't make us feel like it has to be perfect. Definitely makes me feel less intimidated 😁

@srikaset 11 месяцев назад

Oh. I see. All the finishing works will be done later.. before winter comes. You arbour garden is very beautiful and more than perfect, Shara. Cheers!

@WoodshopDiaries 11 месяцев назад

Yes, I’ll apply a stain later this summer once the wood dries some. Thank you so much. I appreciate you watching!

@irawardmusic 11 месяцев назад

Wow, awesome!😃 That is a massive project girl!😮 Always get help when you can, getting injured is just not worth it.🙃 That phone trick was epic.😁 Some times I feel like putting my phone under the wheel of my car LOL. 🤣 Have a great weekend!😀

@WoodshopDiaries 11 месяцев назад

Ahaha I dunno about that 🤣

@WoodshopDiaries 11 месяцев назад

You made me laugh out loud about the phone under the car wheel 🤣 I feel that sometimes too haha. I enjoy finding ways to do things myself when possible. I have to most days since I work by myself most of the time-and the dog and cat don’t do much to help except cheer me on 🤣 I hope you have a wonderful weekend as well and I really appreciate you watching!

@irawardmusic 11 месяцев назад

@@WoodshopDiaries Yes indeed! Especially when the darn thing starts speaking to you without asking or you have to go through a hundred plus settings to do a simple task.😁🤣😂. You really knocked that one out of the park! That's the sign of a true fixer and a problem solver. Thanks and take care!

@camirichardson7485 11 месяцев назад

Gotta love a gal with sawdust in her hair! WELL DONE!

@fiercegirldesign1 11 месяцев назад

This turned out beautifully! When you stain the boards that come in contact with the soil, make sure you use a food safe stain since you’re growing food (versus flowers).

@megan1950 2 месяца назад

This is so pretty. Definitely saving for when I get to build mine. I think I need to substitute the welded wire fence for hardware cloth or something to keep the birds and rabbits out of my blueberries, but it’ll be heavily inspired by this design. Such nice work. You made an instant fan.

@craiggoodwin9704 11 месяцев назад

Shara, that was a lot of work but you make it look easy. Both Bubby and I appreciate your efforts. The end result really makes your artistic talents shine. We've been blessed with a couple of days of rain here so my carport project is temporarily on hold. I think the sun will shine this afternoon with cooler temperatures so I'll be back at it. I've been thinking I need a garden bench in my garden so I can watch the fruits of my labors grow. I wonder what that should look like? (hint hint) Thanks for Sharing!

@WoodshopDiaries 11 месяцев назад

Thank you! That’s so kind. Send some rain our way when you’re done with it! 😅 we are hoping to get a little tomorrow. I’m tired of carrying water cans to water our gardens 🤣 funny thing-I’ve been dreaming up some garden bench ideas lately 😉 maybe I’ll share one soon. Good luck With your carport project. I hope you have a great weekend!

Dang it (Shara)! I am so impressed and inspired. Girl PoWeR! I tremendously enjoyed watching you make this beautiful specimen. Helped hubby measure and dig posts for fence years ago and broke out in hives. Still don't know what from. Cleared a lot of brush is all I know. Bout to send this to my mom. We may have to replicate this joint.😚

Thank you so much! It’s already looking better now that the grapevines are taking off (it’s been about two weeks since I made this video 😅).

It's for an 18' x 24' space I have that's next to my tiny back deck that's off the kitchen, and I want my veggie garden there. My dad taught me well and even though I'm in my 60s now, this is a project I can tackle with a friend easily. Thank you for showing how it's done!

The garden looks beautiful! You gave me some good ideas for my own, too, so thank you for that. I love that your cat is named "Bubby". My mum has always called me Bubby, and I've called all of my cats, regardless of their actual names, "my Bubbies". That word means "my very favourite thing", which I didn't realize until I was in my mid-40s, but it definitely seems an appropriate nickname for my cats. We also call all if their favourite toys their "Bubbies". 😅 Anyway, love the garden! It looks fabulous!

I like your "head holding" method, I use a clamp to do this. Put a clamp on the far end just below where the board will get attached and rest the board on the clamp and attach other end.
