Here we used wooden fence palings and and some some 2 x 2 for the corners and bracing... it worked well to create a raised bed. We made two and have topped them up with some earth and then the top third using compost. They are roughly 1.8 meters long x 1 meter high and around 60cm wide.

They work well, and we can get a lot of produce out of them without havings to do any bending etc.
