Thanks for joining in the discussion @fishingfan. I'm sure @moshiach77 will get back to you as soon as possible and answer your question about cutting the corrugated sheeting. I'll also tag some other handy Workshop members like @Brad, @ProjectPete and @redracer01 for you who also might have some advice.
Welcome to Workshop. Please post whenever you need assistance with a project or have something new to share. We look forward to reading all about your projects and plans.
@fishingfan
Traditional way is to use niblers, I have a metal cutting circular saw and you could also use a multitool or a jigsaw. A cutting disk in an angle grinder will do it but you will have to live with the bur it leaves and either cover it or clean it up and keeping the cut straight can be a problem. Snips if you like a manual option.
Another useful thing is a guide clamp. https://www.bunnings.com.au/craftright-50-aluminium-clamp-and-cutting-guide_p5860136
Nice work @moshiach77 - given the fact the cut ends are covered/concealed, I'd probably just rip through it with an angle grinder and give yourself an opportunity to practice cutting straight lines on wonky material.
Otherwise @Brad's suggestions all work too 🙂
thanks for the advice 🙂
another job added to the list
@fishingfan I used 1mm cutting disk on an angle grinder and clamped a piece of angle iron to the sheet as a guide.
Thanks again for sharing this project @moshiach77. It's already proved very popular.

My question is . . .
1. what goes in next?
Rocks? Stones? Shingle? branches?
2. How much high?
Hi @Pirihira,
Welcome to Workshop.
This previous Workshop discussion should get you started - https://www.workshop.com.au/t5/Garden/What-soil-for-filling-a-raised-garden-bed/m-p/14205
What you use to fill your new garden beds really depends on what you plan to grow and the size of the beds. If you'd like to provide more detail, and better still, provide a photo, I'm sure our clever and helpful members will be more than happy to assist.
I have been searching for raised garden bed ideas for a couple of months now. Hopefully this will help me make my own.
You've certainly come to the right place @lucas! Welcome to the Workshop community.
I trust you will also find these resources really helpful:

Hello everyone!
That looks great!
Nice to be in this community, very new to gardening and DIYs and so excited to learn from all of you.
I wanted to improve my backyard by adding some DIY raised bed but not sure of where to start. is there a workshop for this? would also want to know what are the costs involved. Thirdly, would anyone know where to source a galvanised planter box that's hollow (no bottom part - not even sure if this makes sense.)
I love this !!!!!
@gifurung
As mentioned above, do check out these resources:
Then if you have any questions about a specific project of your own, I'd encourage you to start a new discussion.
Very professional
This looks awesome. I am looking at buying a raised garden bed and wondered how much soil I need to buy for one about 100cm x 100cm x 30cm. Also, I am not a gardener so what soil do I buy, topsoil, compost, etc or a mixture and if a mixture what do I put in first and what on top, etc

Hi , I am new to Bunnings Workshop, and I hope I’m in the right area . I would like to build raised garden beds & I have seen beds built by Moshiach 77 . Just wondering if it’s possible to obtain copy of plans.

Hello @james68
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about building a raised garden bed.
Let me tag @moshiach77 to make them aware of your question. It is difficult to tell how big the actual raised garden bed is, but looking at its construction, it appears that they used 100x100 fencing post for the corners and 200x50 sleepers for the top section. They then used timber strips to act as an anchoring point for the corrugated sheets. However, I can only guess how they built the bottom of the garden bed, it will be something that moshiac77 will need to elaborate on.
Here is a link to ideas and inspiration: Top 10 most popular raised garden beds.
Here is a handy step-by-step guide for an alternative raised garden bed: How to build a raised garden bed by @Adam_W

Hi @james68,
Let me also extend a very warm welcome to the community. I've moved your post to @moshiach77's original discussion for the benefit of the rest of the community to understand the context.
I thought I'd also add to Eric's reply that we have step-by-steo guides for a number of other raised garden beds and would be happy to assist you in altering the plans to build something unique for your garden. Please also check out:
Hope that helps.
