Way to go Erin!

[@MakerGray]

Thank you so much Tyler!

[@KBBAKTHA]

Brilliantly simple design and adding same wood plugs is a great way to go. Thanks for sharing

[@MakerGray]

Thanks so much :)

[@AshleyMinney]

The plugs!! Such a good idea, so aesthetically pleasing. Great design & I really like the tips along the way.

[@MakerGray]

Thanks Buddy!!

[@CowDogCraftWorks]

Cedar is so dope. AND SO ARE YOU. loooooooooooooongfellowwwwww. ::awkward stretch::

[@MakerGray]

LOL NO YOU! looooooooooooongfellow!

[@FigmentsMade]

Nice and clean all around!

[@MakerGray]

Thanks so much Sharon!

[@Anonomush_oranges]

This is three years old. How well are these holding up to the weather and water? Nice simple design. I think I'll skip the plugs but that was certainly a nice touch.

[@MakerGray]

Holding up great! I'd put on a good finish to preserve the cedar color, myself. But otherwise, they just got planted again and are doing great. Thanks!

[@ahmadgondal732]

Another one of my future DIYs. Definitely saving this one Again very detailed and thorough. Also thanks for providing BOM.

[@MakerGray]

Awesome! Thank you! I appreciate it

[@McIntyreFurniture]

Excellent build! Great video.

[@MakerGray]

Thanks as always, Kim!

[@EthanCarterDesigns]

Great build and video as always, Erin! I want to make one - assuming the sun ever shows up - rain, rain, go away!

[@MakerGray]

Thanks, Ethan! We're having the same experience here. Right after planting, it rained forever!

[@pinksoulstudios]

Yay!

[@MakerGray]

You da real VIP

[@FredMcIntyre]

Awesome work Erin! 😃👍🏻🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱👊🏻

[@MakerGray]

Thanks so much Fred!

[@Brownstone31]

Nice little build.

[@MakerGray]

Thanks so much!

[@jonathancouzens9112]

its beautiful, but at almost $200 per planter box (2x6x8 cedar $35.00 each 2x4x8 cedar $20.00 each) not counting the pocket hole jig and deck screws, that's not feasible for a gardener on a budget, could you make something that won't break the bank but still give a similar esthetic and weather resistant attributes?

[@Anonomush_oranges]

Use pine instead of cedar. It is much cheaper but will not hold up to the elements as well.

[@tim78676]

Great job, Erin! Simple and very practical. Oh, and what a cute wife you have!

[@MakerGray]

Awwwww sweet Tim. Thank you!!

[@SteveC38]

Very nice job, it looks great and should work well👍

[@MakerGray]

Thank you so much! I'm so happy with it.

[@christieps]

Coming to this video from Matriarchy Build! I want to build one of these in the winter as a Christmas present. Do you have any suggestions for how to store it or protect it during the snow until planting season? (I presumably wouldn’t bring in soil until then.)

[@MakerGray]

So happy to hear that you came over from MB and welcome! It should be fine outside but if you like, you could cover it with a tarp to protect it. Should be fine. Enjoy your garden!

[@ashleypoczik5725]

Any tips for adding a little bit of a ledge these raised beds? Something that would support sitting while working in the beds. Thanks!

[@MakerGray]

Hmm. For that, I'd probably add in some extra supports on the inside or outside to support a horizontal ledge. And then I'd just screw the ledge in from the top. Hope this helps!

[@Roberto-ht9vx]

That’s by far the best diy raised garden bed video!! Is there any alternative for the cedar lumber? It’s super expensive and hard to find it, probably due to corona.

[@MakerGray]

Thank you! Depending on your area, you could use redwood. But yeah, all lumber prices are currently up right now, mostly due to Covid.

[@mec_nyc]

The perfect beginner project for these quarantined times. You know... when you start wondering where you food is going to come from if the Trader Joe's has go on lock down. 😅

[@MakerGray]

Hahaha EXACTLY! Thanks for watching :)

Thanks for watching!

[@reforzar]

Nice job! I’d love to have one but I’d just kill everything.

[@MakerGray]

Thanks! Haha

[@smilesbeautyeternal]

This was an awesome video! This build was great! Also, do you mind telling me what camera equipment you use also?

[@MakerGray]

Thanks so much! I'm using a Canon 90d. It's a great camera

[@smilesbeautyeternal]

@@MakerGray Thank you for responding!! Do ever have any problem with saw dust getting in the lens or anything? Or do you have a tripod keeping it far away? You have great angles!

[@digger77]

Did you lay something down before filling in your soil? I'm putting ours on grass and heard we didn't need to but what do you recommend?

[@MakerGray]

I did! I used landscape cloth. A year later, it has been great at keeping the grass from growing up into the garden. I recommend it.

[@digger77]

@@MakerGray thanks! Will do!
