I made these last summer for my sister.
And she didn't even use them yet!
Very easy to make.
She did want them taller, so that is the only modifacation I made. We're hoping the bunnies won't notice all the yummy veggies up this high :)
I know, probably wishful thinking.
Makes a great kid corral too.

Do these have a bottom in

Do these have a bottom in them? And if so, do you suppose you could put them on wheels? I wouldn't fill them entirely full with dirt, obviously, but would put filler in the bottom-- styro peanuts work great. Thoughts?

I used the 1x6 cedar fence

I used the 1x6 cedar fence boards. The length is a whole board, so about 6 feet long. I didn't trim or cut them at all. And the width is a board cut in half, so about 3 feet wide. And four boards high, so about 2 feet tall.

Tidbits

Thanks for posting the pictures! I have been looking for a higher raised bed idea as I do not like stooping over (heading towards age 60..)
A good filler would be leaves, straw, grass clippings, flattened cardboard boxes, newspapers. That's what I am going to use.
Cedar is pretty durable and doesn't need to be stained. I would use people friendly stain if you choose to go that way since it is going to be next to your food source.
I want to thank my daughter for sharing your website with me!! Great ideas!!!
