Hey Guys, In this video I will be showing how to build these beautiful raised garden beds using corrugated metal. I have seen several of these built and I have found some great ways to improve the designs and make them better. Check out the video to see how to make these.

Everyone who decides to make this, be VERY careful around those roofing panels. The edge is super sharp! I grazed past 4 of those panels stacked up on one another & cut my thigh right open. Happened so fast! But it’s healing up great, and we’re halfway done with building two 4’ by 8’ raised beds, with this design as our guide. They’re looking beautiful! Thank you Simon! 🙏🏻

Call your local tree trimming/removal companies and ask about dumping a load or two of wood chips. Many give these away simply for a place to get rid of them and they break down into rich soil mulch quickly. Would make for a great base inside a raised bed.

They will break down quicker if you add nitrogen from a natural source, while they will monopalise the nitrogen already in the soil to break down.

Great job, man - nice simple build for people to follow and it was very well presented. I made the majority of my raised beds from old hardwood railway sleepers and while that's a very expensive way to do it they will outlast me. It was a very good idea to seal the exposed wood on the inside of your raised beds as pressure treatment does little to protect from rot, especially here in the UK. It was nice to see some hugelkultur being used in the bottom of the beds too - that is so important for nutrient retention / transfer and mycelium development. Best of luck with the garden.

To solve your 2x4 rot out. Put pea gravel around it with a half cut drainage pipe over it. The water will go to ground if any gets to them. Depending on area the 2x3 boards are often pretty affordable. Also might a be a good idea to paint on a water seal. It’ll create a good barrier to water damage on wood.

I stumbled upon this video today and was surprised to see the same basic design I used this summer on my own raised beds. I guess using corrugated metal sheets in this way isn't as unique of an idea as I thought! Haha! Even down to filling partway with old firewood, everything was exactly what I did. More than anything it makes me feel a little more confident with the ones I built, seeing another person come to the same conclusions about how best to put it all together. It turned out great.

If you have a couple of pallets around, stack them next to your bed, put a board down as a ramp and you can use your wheelbarrow to fill your bed. Make sure to put a piece of carpet or mat down on your top board, so you don't damage it with the wheelbarrow while dumping the dirt in.

Would have built more but lumber prices are still a bit steep, getting better but still. It's a good start. Figure I'll add beds here and there in the future, my back yard isn't very useful much being a sloop.

If you want to use your wheelbarrow to move the dirt into your raised beds, try using a truck or car ramp. Place against the garden bed and roll the wheelbarrow up and dump. It is much easier than 1 bucket at a time. If you are lucky to have a side by side ATV with a dump bed, that is even easier. Another thing I'd consider is mulching your bed once you've planted it. The mulch holds moisture and helps to cool the soil during the growing season. I'd also plan on putting in a micro sprinkler system that you can hook up to the hose for watering the bed during the summer.

That’s a great looking raised garden bed, and it will be strong with all the bracing, etc. you’ve done that will prevent side blowouts which I’ve seen many times over the years. This would be perfect for someone like my wife and I who only grows fresh veggies for our use but we sometimes have a massive cucumber harvest this year which we did various pickling which Zesty Bread & Butter in any shape or size is my favorite, and whatever overages we had were given to friends and relatives. I’m pretty new at gardening with 2022 being my second year of trying easier things like tomato’s, Cucumber, green beans, peppers, leaks, etc. and it’s been fun and a great experience knowing I’ve done pretty well and knowing that my sweet little mother (a green thumb) who’s now up in heaven is proud of what I’ve learned from watching her and knowing that she’s smiling down on us for trying. Thanks, for the very informative video and keep them coming.

Nice design ! lotta good advice too! You could use Hemlock instead of the pressure-treated it last just about as long for something like this without all the nasty chemicals in the pressure treated I have a smaller raised bed that’s over 10 years old with the Hemlock only reason I’m tearing it apart is to build one like you guys are building.

Like the design, have a similar idea for my raised bed for erbs and spices. Only difference id do is put cheap bricks on the bottom instead of the old boards to slow the decay even further

Hi Simon, Nicely done, it looks great. I live at the tropics and I wonder if the metal sidings will hold a lot of heat and affect the plants?

A galvanised threaded rod and some nuts could be used for the internal bracing, instead of timber. This would make sure the soil has very little contact with timber.

To cut metal you can also use a circular saw and turn the blade around so the teeth are not cutting the material. It works really well too.

These projects are great, look great and are definitely great for people with back issues. But where I come from if I made one of these it would be just a matter of time, someone would come steal it from me.

Thanks for watching, Yeah it is not for everyone, but it does help keep the neighbors dogs from digging up my plants and also helps with good growing soil as all I have here is clay which limits what I can grow. :)

A great job, and I love the cost savings I’ll get from using metal roofing materials. The wife has back problems and I have been looking for a solution for her so that she does not need to bend over as much for the typical raised bed.
@SimonSaysDIY
@SimonSaysDIY 3 жыл бұрын
Yeah, using the metal roofing should last longer and it uses much less wood and with the wood prices right now less wood is always better! I'm so glad my video could help! thanks for letting me know. :)

I’m watching your video and I like your design. I have some suggestions though. To keep the side from bowing out, you screwed 2x4’s cross ways. You screwed into the end grain. These screws will put out easier than screwing in from the side grain. I would instead do the 45 method you used on the vertical side supports. Better yet, I would have used galvanized wire with eye bolts. Loved your little helper.

Thanks for the ideas! I love the galvanized wire idea. You could also use galvanized threaded rod and use a washer and nut of each side to hold it in. Thanks again! :)

what you didn't think about when you added the planks on the top for added stability, was you added a shelf you could use to put your tools on while you worked, limiting the bending down as you do stuff. that was a great idea with an added benefit than just strength and stability! love the design, and it's so simple!

Cool design. Great video. I would probably make it half the height so it doesn't require so much dirt to fill. Personally, I'd rather rip the corrugated tin in half than shovel all that dirt! Also, at half the height, a wheel barrow will dump into it. Your finished product looks really great. Good job.

Very nice. I'd have made the 10 foot sections 4 feet wide too. It would give you an extra 12 square feet of growing space without taking up any more ground space around the outside.
