@MitchellMc  thank you for your reply. I basically trying to build a raised garden bed on the side way. It's approximately 20m length. I am just looking for some ideas how can I do this without effective the colour bond fence.

Hello @sumanth 

Thank you for providing us with more information about your project. In order for the Colourbond fence not to be affected, I suggest placing your raised garden be at least 200mm away from the fence. This will protect the fence from branches scratching the surface and the sap from flowing into it. I suggest measuring the space you have and estimating the amount of space the raised garden will take.

Please remember to keep yourself safe and to wear personal protection such as gloves, goggles and a dust mask when building the raised garden.

Here are some amazing raised garden bed projects our Workshop members have shared:

hi @sumanth 

Rather than having to alter that area too much if at  all

Add on top of your area , you will need  10x of these  garden beds  to fill 20 meters  or space the boxes out  I would also arylic paint them inside and out to increase there life span by double.  Use a favoutite colour outside and grab a  miss coloured paint on the cheap paint trolley at bunnings for the inner  paint.

You also can do this project in stages to match your budget and timing.  It will be cheaper to have a nursery deliver ORGANIC soil to fill all your planned  raised beds in one  load   calculate  20M  x 0.45m deep  x 0.41m Wide   is 3.69 m2 (cubic meters)  = Approx 7 tonnes 

Paint outside a nice aqua blue  or teal would really  liven up that area.  But your  choice.
