DIY waist high bed - corrugated metal
The only thing I would do different is put the wood supports on the outside.

Its ugly and unfinished, not appealing to the eye.
But a good idea that can be improved on. Worth |

why did you put the braceing on the inside ?,
even if you used redwood or cedar they will rot after 3 to 4 years. worth shame on you. les |

les not my org project. I thought it might be an easy way to build a waist high raised bed. I thought the same thing about the bracing being inside instead of the outside.
Worth, yealp it could be made to look nicer- I think they now sell those metal sheets in color. Or even use fiberglass carport sheeting. In any case I think if you can get free bamboo (or something like that) could create a fencing of sorts around it. |
