For Mother’s Day 2017, Rick built raised flower beds enclosed to protect our flowers and vegetables from the variety of wildlife in our backyard. Due to our love for industrial style and the need to protect the garden, we decided on corrugated raised fencing. I am sure by now that you can tell we love implementing corrugated steel throughout our home! Rick had already made a few raised flower beds in 2016, but in order to secure our crop and have a large garden, more needed to be added. Therefore, the exterior lining of the garden consisted of built-up flower beds, which extended on the already existing hilltop beds. This was a great addition to the yard and we look forward to the first harvest every year. Planting and working on the garden is a family affair and produces a variety of vegetables for summer salads and for preservation.
This project was pretty affordable and fast (only spanning one afternoon). All you need are sheets of corrugated steel roofing, untreated 2×4’s (treated are safe around veggies), and nails.
*We bought our materials at Lowes. When buying, remember if you do not have the saws to cut the wood or steel, they will cut it to size for you (just make sure to have the correct measurements).
