Looks great. I did boarders on a garden maybe slightly bigger than yours, 30 x 2.4m sleepers, all cut with a hand saw. Took me weeks (in the heat wave we just had). Got me fit!

Excellent video. Great result, achieved with basic tools, not a fully equipped Joinery shop as per most Youtube videos.

Good on you lad. Great video
-
Great video - really useful. Thanks

Thanks . This was a great informative video . Going to try one at the back of my garden after watching this

Nice project mate. I love using sleepers. They are hard work but they look great after๐๐ป

Great video, and really enjoy the way you explain things so clearly, including being open about the costs.

This is fantastic. Exactly the example I was looking for. Thank you so much

Good job and looks great. Iโve used that Black Jack before, itโs good stuff ๐ The only thing Iโd keep my eye on is the soil level dropping as it settles and the grass cuttings rot down ๐

Instead of using the paint inside. You could also use a weed control fabric to keep the soil from the wood or even double up, blank cardboard boxes and twigs can also be put in the bottoms of the raised beds, the cardboard will also compost down and the twigs will add more drainage too as well as composting down. Great video! Looked like a lot of work so well done lifting those sleepers is no joke ๐

Great job this, i have just done similar in my garden using 6x2 wood - the planter is 3.5m x 1.2m so pretty hefty - like you said doing the base part of the wooden frame is the hardest. That paint does a really good job, i have used it for years on planters etc. Its a bit tough to get off your skin though

Very helpful - and expected cost of components valuable too. Thanks.

Really helpful, thank you for putting this up, well filmed and well explained and the end result looks great. I did wince at that part where you had the sliders on while working with the sleepers though ๐ Great job
