Thanks so much Mark.  Check out my home theater project build and avsforum thread.  That project I really documented step-by-step.

Thanks Alan.  Glad my project provided some inspiration!

Great job we put in 4 boxes but your ideas give us inspiration to take it to the next level. I love the way you finished the top edge with that profile and the way you incorporated the climbing lattice we did something similar but only on one box. Nice work.

You bet Roy. The top ledge is also 2x6 with a 2x4 cleat underneath.

Hello Mario,
Yes this will help.
We have been trying to decide of a layout for a garden bed,however, seeing your layout opens up new ideas for design.
Good job and thanks for your support
Roy

Hi Roy.  I came up with the design in my 3d software; however, it doesn't spit out a plan of any sort.

But you should be able to see from the construction photos how it went together.  The walls were built with 2x6 cedar.  The 4 outside boxes are 4x8 and the two connecting inside boxes are 4x10.  Hopefully that helps.

Absolutely gorgeous, I showed this raised garden to my fiancé and she wants one, do you have plans for this project by chance?

Thanks Cindy.  We will only be planting in the raised garden beds.  We put rubber mulch on the inside area to make it easy on the feet and knees.  I plan to top off all the beds with compost hopefully this weekend if the weather is good.  Which reminds me I'll also need to finish running the smaller irrigation tubes within each bed after that too.

I would love to see this after you have it planted!  Are you only planting in the raised beds or is the ground level going to be planted also?  Looks beautiful!
