    These were built about a year ago from heavy duty pallets discarded by ToppsTiles. No heavy duty brackets appeared over the past year so I am re-purposing them.

    They are internally reinforced with metal plates at the butt joints. The cheapest option is to use the sheet metal from a biscuit tin if you are thinking of making one yourself.

    The base comprises of sections similar to the two end sections nailed so that there is a small gap between them for drainage purposes. If you use one long plank, it will split along the grain as it rots due to moisture.

    Surprisingly, each box required a barrow full of compost to fill.
