Building a Raised Bed from Decking Boards
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 жов 2024
- Another day in the allotment garden, finally getting my last raised bed finished. It's been a long time coming but the main area is finally done. We now have 2 main beds built from decking, 3 beds built from pallets and 1 bed that was a kit from Aldi. Still a few little bits to finish off and improve, but I'm just glad the main crop area is finished off and I can get to growing all that lovely fruit and veg.

Love your dog coming to supervise, and your daughter making sure it’s done properly. Thanks for sharing, hope you’ve found your power drills in the last 7 years! X
Well done mate. A straight forward planter build which does the job without any extra bull$#*! normally seen in other fancier video's. Impressed by your screwdriver work.
I just found your video hunting for how to make a raised garden bed from leftover deck woods and i have to say i LOVE YOUR VOICE LOL!!! thanks for the video this helps a lot! I have a whole pile of wood planks left over and horrible clay soil, so this looks easy enough for me to make!
You deserve a medal for hand screwing all that 😳
If you want the boards to last, invest in pond lining to protect the surfaces in contact with soil and water. Pressure treated timber resists, but is not immune to rot. Pop holes in the bottom and use sacrificial wood as slats if you raise it up on legs. My raised bed built from scaffold boards rotted after 5 year with landscape fabric liner.
all the vids i've watched about building a planter, and how refreshing to see someone actually using man power in stead of an array of expensive power tools...
Great video. Clear. To the point. No music. Thank you.
Great to see someone using basic hand tools, for those of us who still build things that way! I think ai might do this attaching the long boards first.
you must have forearms like Popeye ! puttin' all those screws by hand!
Love your video, simple and easy to follow great for a beginner like me!
The dog doing its business is quite funny. Great video.
Bonus feature ;) haha
Wow grate idea I love this and now I need to find a man that can do it for me lol
Just wanted to say brilliant video buddy , I'm just starting with raised flower beds and that. So we'll done. Looks good
Hey dude, I love the intro for your videos! Your channel is different I like it.
Thank you very much!
Thats okay, if you have a minute do you think you could check my channel out, any feedback would be great :)
+TimeLapseShop sure thing!
That is some derermination! haha, I would have gone and purchased a new driver :) good work
Haha, I found it, but after buying a second one. But at least i have a backup now!
great video. thank you. Anything to apply on the raised bed feets to prevent rotting?
Excellent
Just watched your video and i'm buying you a screw gun haha
Great job buddy 👍👍👍👍
Ha, ha. No messin'. Who needs power tools when they've got a good pair of hands and ten working fingers! Just rip those compost bags open with your teeth lad. Who needs a blade? Liked the vid. No BS. What you see is what you get. Well done buddy.
Love the deck planters. What were the measurements of the deck board planter you made please? I’m hoping to make the same, just need to buy the deck boards.
hard work using hand tools. gave after my first planter it knackered me that much. by the way have you thought about using a plastic liner in those beds it will make them last much longer.
Just come across your channel now, excellent video, look forward to some more. Good size garden, lot of potential for growing etc. Keep up the good work!!!
+theboss2010able Hey, thank you. I'm actually in the process of moving house. That's the reason I haven't updated in a while. But better things to come in the new garden!
How cool
Using the old God givin tools
Well.done bro
May Allah grant u the best always
6 bags of compost is going to cost a bit
Two words.....POWER TOOLS!
Can you coat with boiled linseed to offer some protection?
these look like composite decking boards which dont have any wood or very less wood. dont think they need any protection.
Jesus.. Hand screwed.. Respect.
Well Done! This is painful to watch you doing this without power tools!
Brilliant Video! Very well done. Subscribing with Notification NOW. I actually have decking boards which I am going to be using to make raised beds TOMORROW. Will use this simple/easy idea. Only difference? I have shit load of power tools, Miter Saw, Circular Saw, Power Drill, Clamps, Saw Horse etc. /Cheers.
awesome job, but dude..please get u a cordless drill. its 2023!!
do you have to change your compost every year , or can you just dig in some manure and go again, whats the differance between peaty topsoil and compost.thanks
How much each ?!
Paul Jones Hi Paul, they were around £4 per board.
Invest in an impact driver 👍🏻
I have a few, just couldn't find them after the house move! haha
