Raised bed for wifey's veggie tables

Project by mgradwohl posted 380 days ago 934 views 0 times favorited 6 comments Add to Favorites Watch

So wifey wanted a raised bed for veggie tables, so I made this. The corners are made out of 6×6 cedar, with grooves for the sides to fit in. The sides are then bolted in. The sides are 2×10 cedar. The caps are made from extra 2×10. Filled with Pacific Topsoils Special Garden Mix. Stuff is already starting to sprout. I got lucky and even got a sprinkler head in at the perfect spot and perfect height.

The thing is 4×8 feet, and 20 inches tall. The posts are 24 inches tall.

Very nice. I would like to do something at my house as well, but I’ve been allowing other things to get in the way. Let me know how the veggie growing goes.

Cheers.

These are very nice. I really like the decorative elements that you added to the beds. This adds both beauty and function to the raised beds.

Well done.

Wait till those fresh veggies get ripe. It’ll make all that work worthwhile, I guarantee it. Best thing you’ll ever taste.
