What happens here
Begin assembling the raised bed. Arrange two 9-foot long 2x12 boards for the sides and two shorter (4-foot) 2x12 boards for the ends. Place two 22-inch 4x4 posts in the corners. Use a DeWalt cordless impact driver and 4-inch Simpson Strong-Tie SDWS Exterior Grade Framing Screws to attach the 2x12 boards to the 4x4 corner posts. Repeat this process for the second layer of 2x12 boards on top of the first, ensuring all screws are driven securely. The finished bed will be 24 inches high, 4 feet wide, and 9 feet long.
Goal: Construct the main frame of the raised garden bed.
