That building plan from Sunset was very easy to follow and to build. My husband and I built each of ours in just a few hours. <br /><br />An electric drill is definitely helpful. I can't imagine driving all those long screws by hand...ouch!<br /><br />Just a note to anyone thinking of making this project...the cost estimates listed in the plans are not current. We found this project 3 years ago and it was not new then. <br /><br />We did use cedar boards and posts which alone cost about $150 for each bed. Then add in the stain, pvc (which by the way is fabulous if you want to net your garden to keep the birds out), screws, hardware cloth, and then of course the soil. <br /><br />My husband jokes that our tomatoes are the most expensive in town! But for the satisfaction we all get from planting and growing and harvesting our own food, it is well worth the cost and the effort. Great project for children to be involved in too! My little Gracie (4 yrs old) can't wait to eat that first tomato right off the vine. And Sean (6) grows the most delicious carrots in the world! Really! <br /><br />Nice of you to share this project with your readers. It's a great one!<br /><br />MGMMary Grace McNamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04994668228832105911noreply@blogger.com
