How to Build a Terraced Garden Bed on a Slope
Terracing a slope can help with drainage problems, but it can also add functional gardening space. We’ll show you how to install a series of garden beds out of 6×6 pressure-treated lumber.

Woaaaaaaaaah.i like this
The links no longer work.
Awesome!!!!
Maybe I missed it but did the drain get connected to the top 2 boxes ?
ADD A KIDDY POOL POND IN TERRACE BED NO.2
I’ve just moved into my home and I have a slopy garden! the council has only tended to 1/4 of the garden which is at the top and it would be the size of a typical city garden! the rest they gated off and it is a brook! which is literally overgrown with ferns and bushes. I saw a fox there as well. I really want to do the garden up and I wanted some advice? what can I put in place to keep foxes out? and how can I design a very long garden? especially the one which seems as if the house is sitting at the peak of K2 whilst you are at the bottom of the garden?
i felt so bad for the wood, it should’ve other more better use than settling on a garden yard 🙁
For the drainage pipes, I am confused as to why they are L shaped, ie run across the front of the bed and not just down the one side. Also for the drainage pipe running up the side (the one that has the notch at the bottom) do you connect it to the next bed above or have it long enought to run through all three beds, adding a T to it at the front of each bed? Also do you need to close the end (brick wall side in this case) to make sure it doesnt fill with dirt, or is just ensuring the landscape fabric is around it enough?
Way over done….I have done a few much simpler.
The timbers are full of chemicals. Wouldn’t do this for a garden where you would grow things to eat.
How do those pipe drain the water?
That’s a great plan. The only thing I wonder about is gophers, and the like, that will come up from under ground and eat the plants roots. I guess that would require digging out some soil, and laying down some hardware cloth.
3000 bucks worth of construction for growing freaking petunias?
Love it..
His shovel still has the sticker on it #fakenews
how to get Termites 101 .. Never use wood against your house
Now is time to do it in my yard. Lol
That looks neat!
I feel like everything was cheaply done with this except the wood . But over spent on the wood and got the wrong one 😂.
I wish you would show how the 2×4 or cross braces are attached. Are you using Joist Hangers or did you use the timber screws to tie directly into the 6x6s?
It looks easy when there are no rocks and tons of thick roots to go thru…
This is called "gold plating". A regular garden bed has no landscape fabric and drainage pipes. Nor does it require 6×6 lumber. Only to plant really cheap plants. Oh My Buddha!
столько трудов, а сгниет за пару лет
This is the perfect solution I am looking for. My old flower bed was exactly like this. It is sold that i tore it down. Now i need build it again.
Cool 😎
who knows if i ever will do this in my life but watching these vids always opens my mind on many levels
Anyone know if the drainage is nessecary or just best practice?
yea.., "just grab yourself some lumber…" try "mortgage your house to buy some lumber in 2021".
Looks great. Picture framing the top with deck boards would make it look much better than it already is
This looks great!!
So satisfying to watch. So frustrating to attempt.
Amazing. Thanks for sharing❤️
Reminder before you dig let the utility company that you’re planning on digging the ground.⚘
Thanks ! Love this Sharing!
Why not just plant in the ground. More natural.
love this
Интересная идея, классно получилось #щаборподключ
Never drive rebar into dirt. That’s a mistake because it allows rust to wick up the rebar, splitting the wood/concrete/whatever material you’ve used after a few seasons.
beautiful before and after
no concrete base needed ?
Oops drilled into the gas line. Why does the whole neighborhood smell like natural gas?
Will the wood rot in a tropical area, say Malaysia ?
Any videos to make raised beds
would it help to put a drainage pipe along the house side as well? and is it ok to lust let the drone out the bottom of the beds? or should i extend it out in the yard and put a popup at the end of it?
How’d he stay so clean?
Really impressive, thank you for sharing.
How much will lumber cost for this project?
What drill bit is being used for the rebar holes?
I would refrain from using pressure treated wood if your making a vegetable garden
The description only lists 6×6’s in the supply list, but it looks like he capped each timber with a 4×6.
