Great job! Friendly Tip: If you scorch the wood, it helps prevent rotting. Thank for the video!!

@TheWillToMake Год назад

Thank you very much!

@nickg3241 Год назад

This is so cool! Thank you for the advice!

@kevinwoodrum2222 Год назад

I would've done cattle panel for the arch for extra support but great looking beds!

@TheWillToMake Год назад

Yeah we weren't sure what to use and just gave this a try. And thank you very much!!

@HamiltonRb Год назад

@@TheWillToMakeI fastened 4 pieces of rebar, two in each box and arched pvc plastic pipe from one to the other to form an arch. I would also suggest you fill the bottom half of your boxes with leaves, compost small branches etc that will break down and just use soil for the top half. Lot cheaper and plants need the nitrogen

@yovon91 3 года назад

Love them and I love how You put the arch that will be good For your tomatoes and cucumbers or any other climbing fruit or veggie!

@TheWillToMake 3 года назад

Yep that's plan. I may have to stiffen the top up when the plants grow that high, but I've got time for now.

@CTHall-np2vb 2 года назад

Even with the lip on the top of the raised cedar garden bed and a center stake to secure the bed to the ground, cedar fence pickets will bow and bulge in the center. The wood is just too thin. I've been making 16" high raised cedar garden beds for 10 years now, and I secure a metal threaded rod across the center of the 6' sides to keep the bed straight and rigid. Adds another $5-$8 to the cost of a bed but makes it last a lot longer.

@TheWillToMake 2 года назад

Yeah that definitely makes sense. With how small mine are we have not noticed any bulging though. But it's always a great idea to make it as rigid as you can.

@beardedlocoswoodworks 3 года назад

Nice project 👍🏽

@TheWillToMake 3 года назад

Thank you!!

@brendanlenane2685 3 года назад

That's a great build. Nicely done. To strengthen the arch you could use some pvc electrical conduit and bend it between the two beds. Will last ages.

@TheWillToMake 3 года назад

Is that something you have to heat up to bend or would it just retain it's shape?

@brendanlenane2685 3 года назад

@@TheWillToMake you'd have to heat it and then bend it or it would kink.

@TheWillToMake 3 года назад

Thank you!! I'll have to try it out

@HowIDoThingsDIY 3 года назад

You raised your game to a new level with this one! Great work! I've been considering making two of these but cedars so expensive right now.

@TheWillToMake 3 года назад

These actually were super cheap since they were made from the cedar fence pickets, at the time of making these one picket was 3$ and something. So for 2 it was about $55

The wife loved the idea for these... thanks 😑😑😑

@TheWillToMake 3 года назад

Haha, you are very welcome, just build them, they're super simple

@TheWillToMake 3 года назад

No but I'm sure there's other channels to help you out haha

@JettaTDI2005 2 года назад

wow.. that look like a good idea and I will perhaps try to make them next weekend. Can you let me know how are the beds so far looking after a year of use?

@TheWillToMake 2 года назад

They are holding up great, just normal wear like the color is brighter now just from the sun.

@TheWillToMake 2 года назад

Absolutely, no problem.
