How to build a garden bed?

Hi All,

 

First time poster... Go easy on me.

As you can see from the photos I have uploaded my front yard is a bit of a mess...I originally wanted Sleepers as square in the centre to contain the rocks and then sleepers along the front edge and side of the house..however when I bought some Siena Sleepers from Bunnings the 200x75mm 1.8 m ones... they twisted and warped, I even tried to lay them flat but the twisting was so bad it was sticking up in the air....

 

Should I try again with sleepers? or use any other wood? that's not so prone to twisting and bending? or go with another idea for the front and middle?.......I just want a very low maintenance area...low front edging and a nice little feature in the middle... any ideas? tips? thanks :smile: P.s...I have only basic tools...

Re: How to build a garden bed?

Well done, @KelTron. Congratulations on overcoming the initial difficulties, as it's quite clear that your perseverance was well worth the effort.

 

You've now got a fantastic base to work upon, and I have no doubt you'll soon have a sensational looking front yard that your neighbours will envy.

 

Many thanks for sharing your update.
