lumber to build 3 raised beds? does home depot rent chain linked fences? |

Raised beds made from untreated pine will last a few years but will rot and need to be replaced. "Plastic lumber", madefrom recycled plastics is another option--perhaps not as attractive but certainly long-lasting. You'll need to check with your local Home Depot about chain link fencing. |
