This has been a project I've wanted to do for awhile now. Just never got high on the to do list. But finally, I've built up enough compost soil that I either had to waste it spreading it around the lawn, or finally buy the raised beds. I had thought about building my own raised beds using mortised and tenoned pressure treated 2x4's with azek/pvc plywood for panels , but the metal raised beds were cheaper and shipped direct from Home Depot (Better Choice brand raised planter beds). I plan on painting them, so they'll better match the house color's green I made a base for each one using pressure treated 2x4's and half inch mesh to keep critters from digging up underneath. The bases are a little wider than necessary so I could add a raised lip perimeter around the planters, just to help stop spreading if the metal braces inside each bed fail in the future. Just had to level the bases and then put the beds...
