Cheap sides for raised veggie beds
« on: March 17, 2015, 14:28 »
My scaffolding boards are now falling apart so am looking for a cheap option to re-side my veg beds. Any suggestions?
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

I use decking, but I only buy it when it's on offer, and with my aged parent in tow to add the OAP discount.

anything that's going on gumtree freebies or freecycle. lol

i acquired a dismantled industrial chiller (polystyrene sandwiched between metal sheets) and used that looks ok, dunno how long it'll last but i'm hopeful.

I use pressure treated fence boards - 6" wide and £1.20 for a 6ft length from my local timber yard. Admittedly they're not as thick as scaff, but the pressure treating means they'll last a good few years, and an that price I can afford to replace them for not too much cash when they do rot out
