@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.

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.
