Stop sharing your hard-earned vegetables with neighborhood pests and start growing a massive harvest in great looking protection.<\/p>\n
Standard garden beds are wide open to hungry deer and birds that can eat an entire crop of tomatoes in a single night. Bending over for hours to pull weeds or pick vegetables leads to a very sore back and tired knees. Loose soil on the ground often contains rocks or clay that make it hard for roots to grow deep and strong.<\/p>\n
This screened enclosure creates a safe fortress where your plants can grow without being nibbled by your competition. The tall raised beds bring the dirt up to your waist so you can tend to your garden comfortably while standing. A U-shaped design allows you to reach every single plant from one spot without ever stepping on the soil and packing it down. The beautiful sage green color turns a simple vegetable patch into a stunning focal point for your backyard.<\/p>\n
Start by building a U-shaped base using two by twelve cedar or hardwood boards stacked three high for a deep planting area. Use four by four hardwood posts at every corner and extend them six feet into the air to create the roof frame. Connect the tops with two by four rafters to give the structure a classic peak shape.<\/p>\n
Use stainless steel screws for the whole build because they will not rust or cause the green paint to peel over time.<\/p>\n
Paint all the wood with a high quality exterior sage green paint to prevent rot and keep it looking fresh. Stretch half inch galvanized hardware cloth and\/or insect proof mesh over the entire frame and roof then secure it with heavy duty metal staples. Build a simple walk-in door with a wooden frame and cover it with the same mesh.<\/p>\n
Plant tall varieties like tomatoes and kale furthest from the sun where they have room to climb.<\/p>\n
Wipe down the wire mesh with a damp cloth every spring to remove dust so your plants get the most sunlight possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
