DIY Raised Garden Beds Using Plastic Barrels

Here are the dimensions for the 2x4 frame:
You need 6 pressure treated 2x4x8 and about 40 3" exterior screws
2 top long sides are 70"
2 lower long supports are 67"
4 legs are 36"
4 cross supports are 25 1/2"
After you cut the barrel in half, lay them end to end upside down on a level surface and build the frame around them. This allows you to get the 2 lower supports positioned properly. Thanks for watching. These measurements are what worked for me. Check your barrel measurements before cutting your wood.

Nice repurposing idea. Too bad lumber is so expensive or this would be dirt cheap.

$5.40 for a PT 2x4x8 isn't too bad. Thanks for watching
