Nice, I want to do something like that. How much did it cost?

Thanks! These work out at about £80 per bed. But they absolutely could have been done much cheaper!

I bought brand new pallet collars, but used ones are probably available with a bit of searching. I'd already used all my home made compost in another higher bed, so had to buy all of what went into these.

You should check your local marketplace's for "free lumber", I did a search last week and saw over 10 posts for piles of 2x4s. Can save you some dollars next time... 😝🤑

Absolutely a top tip! Oh the price of convenience, huh? :)
