I added some rubber feet to the bottoms of the legs so the wood would not be in direct contact with the ground. I had some old rubber mat that was give to me and it works perfect for the rubber pads. Just cut it to size and and screw the pads in place. Show Add TipAsk QuestionCommentDownload Step 8: Final Notes and Future Plans Over all I a happy with the sturdiness of the raised bed.

Add a piece of PVC pipe at points along the top. You will have the hole of the pvc pipe. Then build a separate netting on a frame of PVC with a smaller size tube that will insert into the pvc you have . 0 AntS5 2 years ago ReplyUpvote Great instructable thanks. I suggest disassembling pallets from the underside as nails tend to be driven in from the upper side; leastways I tend to recover more pieces without splits happening this way. 0 WilliamG32 4 years ago ReplyUpvote Obviously the 'V' -shape is to cut down on the amount of soil needed to fill it, while allowing root crops like beets and turnips to grow in the deeper center and top growing crops like onions and lettuce in the shallower soil on the sides. 0 tjahncke 4 years ago ReplyUpvote Great idea and design, thanks for posting. When built out of pallets how long does the box last. Wondering if it worth the investment to take the same design out of pallets. This is for a box at a church for a community garden done as an eagle scout project. 1 bhilling1 6 years ago ReplyUpvote Making one for my 87-year-old mother for Mother's Day so she doesn't have to bend over to garden 0 JulioG4 6 years ago ReplyUpvote thanks for the idea will give it a try 0 Linann 7 years ago on Introduction ReplyUpvote wow!

Great job.... 0 a1fiaalii 7 years ago on Introduction ReplyUpvote Fantastic build, I have two, really had fun with this. Attached a glass door to one of them and using it as a green house type set up for my herbs. 0 NutzDad 7 years ago ReplyUpvote I do love this idea. very good use of reclaimed wood. however what is the point of the triangular design? is it for drainage? 0 shannonphilpott 7 years ago ReplyUpvote Can't wait to see the smaller version. My yard has minimal space and I have been looking at designs that are high enough to keep my dogs out. I love this design. Keep us posted. 0 Handsome-Ryan 7 years ago on Introduction ReplyUpvote Very nicely done. I made a square raised garden bed out of reclaimed pallet wood but I think your design is a lot prettier and more soil-efficient. I need to get some more pallet wood and I'll have to try to replicate your design. Thanks for sharing and happy gardening! 0 Odd Jobs 9 years ago on Introduction ReplyUpvote If you use flashing to line the inside instead of landscape cloth you can use the chemically treated wood. If you want to reuse the water put in a french drain at the bottom lined with landscape cloth and a catch basin. I like the triangular design of this box because of the easy access it affords to wheel chairs. 0 radiii 9 years ago ReplyUpvote Great idea! I am currently working on the three pallet planter. Looking forward to seeing the two pallet design. 0 Duhkula 9 years ago on Introduction ReplyUpvote This is awesome!!! a lovely design! :D 0 mcampbell19 9 years ago ReplyUpvote Awesome! Great instruct able- and I really look forward to the modifications. I wonder how effective it would be as a greenhouse. ? I love the idea.....thanks! 1 reply0 elco_chanmcampbell19 Reply 9 years ago on Introduction ReplyUpvote I have also come up with a different design using only 2 pallets and needs 1/4 of the amount of filler and 1/3 amount of the dirt. Only downside is it will not work well for vegetables that grow underground such as carrots and potatoes. I will have an updated version posted in a few days. Is it safe to make raised beds from pallets?Make sure to choose pallets that are in good, sturdy condition and have not been treated with chemicals like pesticides. Ones that are safe to use will be marked with these initials that tells how they were treated: HT (heat-treated) DB (debarked)
How many pallets do I need for a raised bed?2-3 pallets per square bed depending on whether you want a trellis for climbing. Saw. Staple gun. 2.5-inch deck screws.
What do I put on the bottom of a raised garden bed?The most used materials for a raised garden bed liner are cardboard, mulch, concrete, fabric, and plastic. They serve as a barrier between your garden soil and the ground to stop the weeds from coming through and keep out toxins and other pests in the ground.
