Cost effective garden edges and retaining walls - Page 2

 


of course it does. use 2nd hand corrugated roofing! (you should be able to
get this for free, but failing that, it won't cost much). use an angle
grinder to cut it to the right height. i hope i am not being patronising in
saying the ripples should be vertical. also, it should keep snails out as
they can't get over a sharp ridge like you will have on the top.

railway sleepers look awfully nice but they are a bit pricey.

nb it is my assumption you're making veggie beds or something. if you want
it for terrace for a sloped area or something like that, you might want to
track down some stone. if you have some friends who live somewhere stony you
should again be able to get them for free.

As it turns out my brother has been able to pickup some timber so I will
be able to build the garden beds and some retaining walls.

Like the corrugated iron idea, I think it would have to be in fair
condition to look good though.



My brother also has a creek bank with plenty of stones, he's 2 hours
away buy I have considered picking up some stones. I would love to have
sandstone blocks by they are really expensive.
