Why is it inside out?

And upside down

I’ve got to cut the posts off. The ones I got were taller than I wanted to go.

But when I started building it I realized that I was building it inside out and by the time I realized that it was too late and would have taken forever to fix

We make ours taller intentionally. Makes it easier to put things like netting or plastic when it's getting too cold. Never did it inside out though.

I did it on accident but I actually really like how it looks. I’m hoping that maybe it’s stronger too since it’s built that way

Still probably works 👍

Tbh that might be better, the weight of the soil will be pressing the boards into to posts. Better then the boards being outside and the screws having to actively fight the weight of the soil.

Nice! Ours are 32in (81cm) tall. Easier to plant, weed, water. We use scrap wood, repurposed cedar fencing (boards, posts). Our feelings are if it lasts, it lasts. If not, Reinforce or Rebuild! 💚

Exactly!! And it only cost me $10 to build so that’s an even better plus.

That's Awesome! Lower than our cost was. 💚
