   well, he’s a little flabergasted at times, poor guy.

   He’s really struggling to do this. So funny.
   Cute anyway. Atleast he’s trying.

   Thank you so much for this video. I love your videos!!!! I am a new gardener….How will screening keep out mold?? Also, what about termites in using the wood….I am a Brand New Gardener” and everytime someone comes to my house and they see my garden they say, I should not have used wood cause I am going to have termites. Is that true?

   i get the same thing, but my raised beds have been on the ground for 6 years now. they will wear out over time.

   the termite comment is what everyone says because thats what everyone says. termites could happen, but its unlikely where i live.

   Cedar is the way to go if using wood. It’s a natural insect repellent – they don’t like the smell of it. =)

    Doesn’t say what kind of wood you use for these. I built my bed this weekend and the only wood I could find was spruce. I was not happy with it because it warped like crazy and was almost $20 for a 12 ft board. I bought 3 @12′ and used the last 4 ft extra as the center support. Remember the 1.5″ screw is not big enough if you are using wood in your corners. I had 2″ screws and I had to drill from both sides to get it in steady.

    I liked the video. You guys and the dogs were great. The information was very useful. However I do have problem with one thing. Drywall screws are not “used for everything”. They are used for drywall. They rust quickly and the heads break off easily when used outdoors or on wood. Use wood screws or exterior deck screws on wood. Thanks.

    not everyone can afford cedar, and it is not as readily available as pine. my beds have lasted years. and the brackets are galvanized. thx, eric.

    You guys are friendly, which helps make this a good video.
    Treated lumber has raised some questions, myself included. There is something called “TimberSIL”, a person may want to look into. Treated lumber using sand, they call it being glass-impregnated or the like. Availability a problem?

    Now those gloves, “come-on-man..

    Oh, “linseed oil”, I’m considering, “boiled linseed oil” not the same as plain-ole linseed oil. “boiled linseed” have driers, ewe.. “poison” added. But, be yourself..

    I tiake plastic and wrap my lumber, no chemical problems then, plastic lasts about 2 years, then replace. I like the 2 by 12′ but our problem locally is 8 cents a gallon for city water so we collect rain water, tanks hold 1,100 gallons and fills with one inch of rain. That will water the garden for more 25 days.

    Don’t use dry screws they will not last more than a few years. Use deck screws for hot dipped galvanize nails. Both will outlast the wood. Even electro galvanize doesn’t last as long and the difference in cost is very little.(they are designed for non moisture contact)
