What happens here

Begin assembling the first raised bed by forming a rectangular frame. Place an 8-foot board on the outside and a 4-foot board on the inside at each corner. Ensure the boards are flush. Use the DeWalt impact driver to drive three Simpson Strong-Tie SDWS Framing Screws through the outer board into the end of the inner board at each corner, creating a secure connection. Repeat this for all four corners to complete the first layer.

Goal: Construct the initial tier of the raised garden bed frame

Tools and materials

  • DeWalt Impact Driver DeWalt — Driving screws to assemble the frame
  • Rough-Cut White Oak Lumber — Shorter sides of the raised bed
