Instead break down the pallets by using a reciprocating saw to cut through the nails to make them into planks. build side panels with the full length boards using the 2×4’s to connect corners staggering to more rigid. cut 2 of the 4 foot length boards for the ends and attach ends completing the rectangle. put plastic liner inside the box to. Step 5. fill with soil: add your soil to the raised bed and spread it out evenly. make sure to mix in compost or fertilizer for added nutrients – this will help ensure your plants are healthy and strong! be careful not to compact the soil too much, as this can prevent water and oxygen from reaching the roots. step 6.
Step 1: decide the size for your raised garden bed. i knew i wanted my pallet garden bed to be approximately 2 by 4 feet. my longest pallet boards are just over 4 feet so that became the length of the box. you need at least 4 long pallet boards of the same length, 2 for the front and 2 for the back, to make the length of the box. The first step to building diy pallet raised garden beds is preparing the pallets. this includes ensuring that the pallets are in good condition, with no broken boards or nails sticking out. check for signs of mold or mildew as well. to clean the pallets, use a wire brush and some warm soapy water to scrub off any dirt and debris from each board. Building a garden bed instructions. here is what we used for each garden bed: 6 – 13” 2x4s. 18 pieces of pallet wood. screws. then using the 2x4s from the pallets we cut pieces that were the height we wanted, six pieces for each bed. i am not good at explaining in words this part so here is a picture of how it was put together. Turn your pallets over. then lay the garden fabric across the back. measure enough to cover the entire back. as well as enough extra on all four sides to cover the ends and overlap at the top. then trim the fabric from the roll. begin stapling the garden fabric to the backside of the wood pallet.
