How to build a raised garden bed with seating?

Hello experts, 

 

I am total beginner and planning to step up my DIY journey.  

I am planning to setup a raised garden bed with seating options in couple of places. Along with it i am planning to install part of my back yard with decking ( deck with will be partly on concrete slab ). I have attached my plan and the sample raised bed i am considering. 

 

I am looking for suggestions on how should i plan the project , tools needed and procure materials ? I am finding lot of information over internet and its confusing. 

Thanks in advance :smile:

Re: How to build a raised garden bed with seating?

Hello @nvelaga 

 

Because you have access to open side of the garden bed, I suggest using ZENITH 14G - 8 x 100mm Class 3 Galvanised Bugle Batten Screws. The only reason I suggested using a nut and bolt configuration is because one side of the garden bed is very narrow, and you won't be able to put a drill at the end of it.

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
