Step 3: Measure and cut the wood. Before you assemble the frame of your garden bed, it’s important to measure and cut the wood pieces to the correct lengths. Be sure to use a level when cutting so that all the pieces are straight.

Step 4: Assemble the frame. Once you’ve cut all the pieces to size, it’s time to assemble the frame. Use screws or nails to secure each corner and make sure everything is square and level.

Step 5: Add soil and plants. Now that your raised bed is built, it’s time to add soil and plants! Depending on what type of plants you want to grow, you may need to amend the soil with compost or fertilizer. Once you’ve added the soil, you can start planting your favorite flowers, vegetables, herbs, or other plants.
