GardenDoc- What are the dimensions of your benches? I am looking to do something like that and was wondering how high you made your benches. They look awesome. I like the idea of getting your EBs at waist height.

The benches are all 2x4 treated. Eight feet long x three feet wide, with various bracing

How high/tall?

(looking at the previous three pics, they don't seem to be on benches...seem to be on ground covered with tarp or plastic.)

cushman has the link to the images. The ground is sloping and they are about 20 inches tall on one end. Just arbitrary to make level

Pests that keep eating on these would earn a whole new respect. Wink
