A few pallets screwed together in the corners seems to be the favoured way of doing it...

I use twists of fencing wire or old coathangers to fasten mine together... or hammer in a couple of posts and slide the pallets down over them

I use 1 ton sand/gravel bags from the builder's merchants, they last about 3 years and I have a ready, free supply of them  :)
There's more comfrey here than you can shake a stick at!

That's a good way Savbo. We did the same, and with corrugated iron sheets as well, because when you want to get the stuff out, just clip the wire, and take a side off!
