Large fenced vegetable garden with raised beds

Wheats

My wife wanted a veggie garden and liked an idea in a Bunnings magazine. She wanted plenty of space for fruits, veggies and herbs. All materials were purchased from Bunnings

Materials

• Cypress posts
• weather shield paint in monument
• mesh panels
• saddle clips
• galvanised timber screws
• concrete

Tools

• Tape measure
• hammer
• post hole digger
• circular saw
• Shovel
• Spirit level
• Bolt cutters

Steps

Step 1

First I had to clean the area and measure out where the posts would go. I dug holes for the posts and concreted them in. 

Step 2

Once the concrete was set, I could start cutting the boards to size and attaching them. 

I painted the entire thing with a weather resistant paint in Monument to match the fence.

Step 3

I cut the wire mesh to size and and attached them to the inside of the frame using the saddle clips 

Step 4

Once the garden beds were finished, we added 2 colorbond garden beds and pavers to walk on

Step 5

We added soil and plants and a compost bin.

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Wheats. It's brilliant to have you join us, and many thanks for sharing your terrific project.

I trust your wife is delighted with such a thoughtfully laid out and well-designed garden. I really love the way you've planned this out to use the most of the space whilst still allowing great accessibility.

How has your wife enjoyed the veggie garden, and has it changed her gardening experience? What are her favourite plants or vegetables she enjoys growing and harvesting in this flourishing space?

Wonderful job!
