Large fenced vegetable garden with raised beds

My wife wanted a veggie garden and liked an idea in a Bunnings magazine. She wanted plenty of space for fruits, veggies and herbs. All materials were purchased from Bunnings

Materials

  • Cypress posts
  • weather shield paint in monument
  • mesh panels
  • saddle clips
  • galvanised timber screws
  • concrete

Tools

  • Tape measure
  • hammer
  • post hole digger
  • circular saw
  • Shovel
  • Spirit level
  • Bolt cutters

Steps

Step 1

First I had to clean the area and measure out where the posts would go. I dug holes for the posts and concreted them in. 

Step 2

Once the concrete was set, I could start cutting the boards to size and attaching them. 


I painted the entire thing with a weather resistant paint in Monument to match the fence.

Step 3

I cut the wire mesh to size and and attached them to the inside of the frame using the saddle clips

Step 4

Once the garden beds were finished, we added 2 colorbond garden beds and pavers to walk on
