How to Build a Raised Garden Bed with Corrugated Metal Panels & Cedar
Want a raised garden bed that lasts for years, looks great, and is easy to build? This DIY guide shows you how to create a durable, modern raised garden bed using corrugated metal panels and cedar wood framing. Perfect for vegetables, herbs, and flowers.
✅ Why Use Corrugated Metal & Cedar?
- Long-Lasting: Cedar naturally resists rot; galvanized corrugated metal handles harsh weather for years.
- Modern Look: Adds farmhouse style to any yard.
- DIY-Friendly: Lightweight panels are easy to cut and screw in place.
📌 Materials & Tools
Materials: 2x4 or 2x6 cedar boards, 4x4 cedar corner posts (12–18"), corrugated metal panels (1–7 ft), wood screws, self-tapping screws.
Tools: Drill, saw, tape measure, level, and tin snips (if trimming panels).
🔨 Step-by-Step Instructions
- Build the Cedar Frame: Cut boards to size (4x8 ft is standard). Screw them to 4x4 posts.
- Install Panels: Secure corrugated metal inside the frame with self-tapping screws every 6–8 inches.
- Fill & Plant: Add soil mix (topsoil + compost). Leave 1–2" space from the top when planting.
