Hello So I replaced it with 100 lbs 6x6s Don’t like the price! 6 - 6x6x8s & galvanized brackets and hex head wood screws = $270 Also not all the holes in those brackets were the right size so I drilled 21 out with the drill press!!
Too bad you don't live closer. I have a pretty large pile of PT 4x4's and 6x6's stacked up behind the barn I removed when I took down the cattle pasture fencing. All .40 retention and all in nice shape too. I have at least a good straight truck load.
Wow thanks for the offer, that would save a bundle! Each 6x6x8 weighs a little more than 100 lbs so I had a hard time just getting them in my back yard from Home Depot which is 1.0 mile away!!
I got 30 years out of the 2x6 PT boards so the 6x6s should last longer? We got the plants and seeds in last Tuesday night and it rained 3 times since then so they may have had a good start?
Hello Sure glad we did this raised bed fix last year and paid $27.18 each for the 6 PT 6 x 6 x 8 Timber because this year they are a whopping $31.88 each and for the 6 we got would cost $28.20 more!!
We use 2x12 and line with black plastic. The plastic helps the wood last and retains moisture in the beds. We made 2 out of pallets too.
