I’m getting started on this today. I never thought of the linseed oil idea. Great tip!
Thanks!

You said that you would have a cut list for the wood pieces. I don’t see it. Am I looking in the wrong place? Also, how long is the middle beam that you installed to keep the sides from bowing? I saw on another site that they used cedar. Did you not use cedar because it was more expensive? Thanks for answering my questions.

Help, I am looking for the cut list for the raised garden bed.
What size were the small screws used with the metal brackets.
Thanks

To Annette:
1 1/2 inch drywall screws were used.
To Pattie:
4 ft length of 2″ X 3″ or 2″ X 4″
Eric — I was thinking of using brackets and also the 2″ X 2″ boards in the corners and making them 2 ft long instead of the 11 inches…. making one end pointed, before screwing into the corners…. once box is complete turn over and place it where you want the bed and pound the corners into the ground. Just a thought!

Thank you for this video Eric! I have been looking online for simple plans, but your video saved me so much time and hassle. I think it will save me lots of money too. Building the beds soon, I will post pix when they’re done.
