Raised bed hardware
My "to do" list includes a series of raised beds in my backyard for next
year. I was going to knock together some 4'x8' beds made out of 2x10 lumber when I received the Lee Valley gardening catalog ( also on the web at www.leevalley.com ). They are selling heavy duty galvanized hardware that's intended to be mounted on a 2x4. The hardware will hold a 1'x2' garden paver (they use 2'x2' pavers) vertically as side walls on a garden bed. There's enough hardware in their kit to hold twelve pavers with a frame on the bottom and on the top. The side and corner pieces are also available seperately. I'm considering using one inch thick bluestone instead of pavers. Bluestone goes for $4.60 per square foot in inch thick pieces and $5.15 per square foot if I get inch and a half thick. I could get a permanent bed for about $170 with 1 inch stone and the connector kit from lee valley. I'm trying to decide whether or not to use 1.5 inch stone - it only adds $13 to the total but makes moving the stone around harder. |

As it is I can't find them. |
