Thank you for posting this! We have a 4' by 8' raised bed garden. We never had a problem until this year when the racoons started eating my tomatoes. They went at it like they thought it was the buffet at the Golden Corral! I've been all over youtube trying to find an idea and fortunately, I found your video. I'm going to try to partially build it in my basement over the winter and assemble it outside when the weather gets nice again. Thank you again!
This is great and simple, exactly the kind of thing I was looking for! Thanks for posting, I'm looking forward to me enjoying my veggies this year rather than bunnies and squirrels!
This video just saved me so much money...I was about to drop more money then I'm comfortable spending on a raised bed cover till I googled DIY and found this...thank you
You are BRILLIANT!!!! I will need to install a pad lock. Mine is to keep my thieving neighbor out!!!! I love how it is completely in closed. Thank You so much!!!!
I really like what you did there. Wonderful. I used those green metal posts you can buy at HW stores and painted them white and they are in the inside corners. and put the corner pvc pieces over the top of the posts.
Thank you for sharing!! I just put in a small garden and I know if I don’t find a way to protect it the squirrels and birds will soon have a feast! This is a great idea!
This is an amazing idea, the cats in my yard have been ruining my entire gardening experience by using my planters as large litter boxes! I can’t wait to try this!!!!
The cats are exactly why I looked for this video. Looks like I'm even missing a few plants. Let's see them try to ruin my veggie/herb garden now. I'm very grateful for this video. It's a nice way to keep everything out.
So glad I found this video. In the process of making this. We have deer to keep out besides the other critters. This will be perfect. Just got a raised bed for the first time. Usually do pots on our deck. We’re so excited!! Thanks for this great How To Video!! Happy gardening!😊
We have deer, squirrel, racoons, birds, and turtles, and worst of all 🙄 carpenter bees. We live in a townhouse with woods directly behind us and the bees are obsessed with the whole townhouses communities decks and fences. They are a menace. It's a real puzzle because they should 100% be going for the forest. This will solve that problem.
@Lisa V we already have some. The problem I was refuring to was to have a raised garden bed without wood. I wasn't talking about the bee problem itself. Unless the who community did something together, nothing's going to change about that.
Your husband did and excellent, excellent job that was well done. I have never seen a raise bed build like that before. I had wonder how you could build a raise bed that would keep the animals out of your garden. Thank you for that wonderful idea.
🤔 this is nice but it won’t keep rodents out of the garden especially with that huge gap between the two sections. Mice can easily go through the chicken wire. And if a rat can get its head through the it can get its body through but most adult rats will easily aw through chicken wire. You would well to redoing this with treated wood and using wire mesh or taking off the chicken wire, adding a center pvc brace for support and using wire mesh. You would also do well to put wire mesh under the raised bed to keep critters from going under the raised bed. Anyway good luck with that. This is a great effort for first time gardeners, I wish you success with your gardening endeavors.
This is such a great idea. My garden bed is 5 x 4, do you have any suggetions how long I should cut the pvc pipe because of the connectors and how many connectors I should get? Thanks
So sorry about the late reply but if you’re doing the rectangle cage - cut one inch shorter than the side you’re placing it on. The connectors will make up the half inch on each side.
Awesome !!!!!!! I have more time on my hand during summer time ..... I got a lot of spare time now .... since my poor Rosalyn Hernandez Pride 🐶🐕 passed away this morning
Thank you so much for this video! I was looking for ideas on how to cover our next raised garden bed. At first, I was going to construct one large box but I like your idea of making halves. Now that you've used it for a season, are there any design recommendations you would make?
@@traciesplace Hi tracie can you give us the sizes for the pipes and the fittings also I see you made them into two section can you use a 3 way fitting to connect the two sections.
Would you please do an update? Would you have preferred hardware clothe over the chicken wire? I plan on doing a similar construction but I'm also trying to block out bugs as best as I can. Would you have done anything different?
Nice, my husband made one similar, but he made it to touch the ground. I asked if he could do it the way yours is. However it does keep the animals out so Im okay with it.
Hello, Did your husband seal the pvc joint connections together with any sealant to prevent it from becoming disconnected? And it came out really good!
This is a great idea and I'm looking for something to protect my raised beds but I have vinyl raised beds so I don't think the nailing will work. Any suggestions?
I need to do this. I just did an easy U shaped raised bed in my driveway along the fence. Now I’m thinking about cats, squirrels, mice, etc getting into my plants. I wonder how hard it would be to do it in the shape I need
The size fittings depend on what size pvc you get- we have 1/2 inch fittings because we have 1/2 inch pvc. 3/4 would be sturdier, but our 1/2 inch is still holding up well 🙌🏽
We’ve never had an issue with it that I can remember. It’s sturdy and even though during a bad wind/rain storm ⛈️ they did blow open but we just closed them down 👍🏽
Hi Robert, usually on the package of seeds it will tell you the height/width expectations. So plant things that won’t grow super high or keep it clipped 👍🏽✨
Hi! No, no animals have gotten in, we keep the bungee cords on really good. A bird got in the other one but that’s because we left a gap in the netting one time, we fixed that QUICK! 😊
he is making it way harder than needed. they sell pvc pipe cutters that does a clean cut in 3 seconds. and they are inexpensive, that saw is probaly more expensive

You’re welcome and That is awesome! Great idea to partially assemble first 🤗🙌🏽
I never thought about doing halves. That is a great idea..
Thank you so much 😊

You’re welcome! So glad we could help 🙌🏽
Go to Habitat for Humanity if you have one near you. They usually have the pipes
Wonderful idea no need to drill or cut wood thank you for sharing
You’re welcome ☺️
I've watched several ideas for this and yours seems to be the most doable and clear instructions! Thank you!
You’re welcome! ☺️
I’ll be doing this with GRAY pvc because it doesn’t degrade like white pvc in the sunlight. Thank you 🙏 for this video
Awesome 👏🏽 You’re welcome/ I hope everything turns out good for you 🤗💗
Awesome hinge idea. Thanks for posting.
Thank you so much!
Thanks. This is just the type of cage I was looking for!
You are BRILLIANT!!!! I will need to install a pad lock. Mine is to keep my thieving neighbor out!!!! I love how it is completely in closed. Thank You so much!!!!
You’re very welcome 😊 Lol! Your neighbor ☺️
Oooooh we know what you growin! 😂

I know how you feel. This happened to me the very first time I had a raised garden bed.
Thank you for the detailed directions. Much appreciated.
You’re welcome! 🤗✨
Great idea. Thank you for the video!
You’re welcome ☺️
I will be doing this asap for my beds

What a great idea!
Thank you!!!
Nice! Thank you for this.
You’re welcome!
Exactly what I want to do! Thank you!
You’re welcome! 🤗
I love this I will more definitely do this design.
Awesome! 🙌🏽
Great ideal, thanks for sharing
Thank you!!! Very helpful!
You're welcome!
I like this idea. Starting my first garden ever! The arched one looks like a covered wagon😉

We live in a townhouse with woods directly behind us and the bees are obsessed with the whole townhouses communities decks and fences. They are a menace. It's a real puzzle because they should 100% be going for the forest. This will solve that problem.
this is not going to solve your issues with carpenter bees or small rodents. I suggest you google carpenter bee traps.
@Lisa V we already have some. The problem I was refuring to was to have a raised garden bed without wood. I wasn't talking about the bee problem itself. Unless the who community did something together, nothing's going to change about that.

Same mini bungee cords I had, lasted one season , I have 🦌 in my gardens
Deer... oh my, they are persistent 👍🏽✨
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Very good Mr.!!!! 💕👍🏽
Love this square design....
I always new as soon as we find a house I was going to do a raised garden bed..but I love the cover on top of it!
Thank you for sharing!😊❤
You’re welcome! Yes- the garden bed covers are a must in my opinion. 👍🏽✨
Dope video thanks for sharing
Thanks for the info Tracie! I am going to use this design.

Hello, interested in a update of the cages after a year? Thanks 😊
Thank you so much for this video! I was looking for ideas on how to cover our next raised garden bed. At first, I was going to construct one large box but I like your idea of making halves. Now that you've used it for a season, are there any design recommendations you would make?
Hi Sarah! We love this design, it gives more control when opening and closing 🤗✨✨
@@traciesplace Hi tracie can you give us the sizes for the pipes and the fittings also I see you made them into two section can you use a 3 way fitting to connect the two sections.
Would you please do an update? Would you have preferred hardware clothe over the chicken wire?

Hello! Yes, we will do an update shortly 👍🏽
Nice, my husband made one similar, but he made it to touch the ground. I asked if he could do it the way yours is. However it does keep the animals out so Im okay with it.
Hi Antonia! Yes- keeping the animals out is the main thing 😊🙌🏽✨
Rats and mice xan easy fit through the holes.
Yes, thankfully we are not bothered with with either.
Nice. I was thinking staple-gun but yeah zip-ties is way better
Thank you! 🙌🏽✨
Hello, Did your husband seal the pvc joint connections together with any sealant to prevent it from becoming disconnected? And it came out really good!
Hi! Thank you so much- no he didn’t but that is a good idea because it did pop out a few times 👍🏽
Is this 1 inch mesh? Can it keep away rats or are the wholes big enough to let them in?
No “door” for when you harvest ? Or pull out bad leaves and such ?
You lift up, lean it back on the hinges to walk in and do what you need to do.
Hello guys, I love your enclosure, can you list the materials that I would need, plus what kind of base you used
This is a great idea and I'm looking for something to protect my raised beds but I have vinyl raised beds so I don't think the nailing will work. Any suggestions?
I need to do this. I just did an easy U shaped raised bed in my driveway along the fence. Now I’m thinking about cats, squirrels, mice, etc getting into my plants. I wonder how hard it would be to do it in the shape I need
🤗🙌🏽
What size corner fittings did y’all use?
The size fittings depend on what size pvc you get- we have 1/2 inch fittings because we have 1/2 inch pvc. 3/4 would be sturdier, but our 1/2 inch is still holding up well 🙌🏽
I wonder if this would keep deer out??? Thanks for sharing.
Hi! Depending on how sturdy you make it- it should deter the deer 👍🏽
Great video..thanks for sharing. I need this because the squirrels and mole are terrible. How many cubic feet of soil did you use?
How does it hold up against the wind?
We’ve never had an issue with it that I can remember. It’s sturdy and even though during a bad wind/rain storm ⛈️ they did blow open but we just closed them down 👍🏽
It’s been 2yrs at this point. How has the PVC held up with the sun and elements so far?
It has held up well and yes- we will do an update with what we would do differently 👍🏽
I like it. I'd be concerned with plants that want to grow taller than the cage though. Any thoughts?
Hi Robert, usually on the package of seeds it will tell you the height/width expectations. So plant things that won’t grow super high or keep it clipped 👍🏽✨
@@traciesplace Good advice thanks. I'll be making an attempt in a couple of days using yours as a model. Thanks again
this is interesting.. would like to know what size of pipes you used? is it 20mm? thanks
Hi! It is 1/2 inch PVC. My husband said 3/4 inch PVC would be more sturdy but 1/2 is fine.
How have they held up after two years?
We’re still using them and they’re holding up well! 🤗
so you used 3/4 inch hangstuff jr j hooks and 1/2 inch pvc? I'm thinking of making this so I need to know.
Good husband
🥰🤗💗
I would love to know..did any animals get in there🤔..just curious
Hi! No, no animals have gotten in, we keep the bungee cords on really good. A bird got in the other one but that’s because we left a gap in the netting one time, we fixed that QUICK! 😊
How he didn’t make one big one?
he is making it way harder than needed. they sell pvc pipe cutters that does a clean cut in 3 seconds. and they are inexpensive, that saw is probaly more expensive
This is what we had on hand so this is what we used 👍🏽
