Hi all,
Building a raised bed against an unsightly wall. The raised bed will have 3 sides, the rear being the wall.
Size wise, it's about 5.5m in length and will have a depth of around 0.6m.
I've dug a channel about 6-8 inches deep and added around 3 inch of compacted hardcore into this. I am planning on adding another 3-5 inches of concrete to this to finish the foundation.
My question is, do the sleepers need anchoring to the base? If I decided to anchor the sleepers I was thinking about driving several screws into the sleepers then setting these in the newly laid concrete to anchor the sleepers to the base.
If anchoring isn't necessary, I can lay the concrete today, let it go off, then lay the sleepers down mid week.
Thanks
