Question 2

Kevin Broaders

You give the height of the timber as being only 5cms, surely this isn't correct. I have my eye on the one pictured with the dark green painted timber and the timber looks to be way higher than 5cm. Please specify the height of the timber.

The brackets are shown on the outside of the bed so you can see them when looking at it, could they be used so they are on the inside and hidden?

I have bought the liners for your split height premier raised bed. Do you recommend fixing it to the sides? Or is it best to just leave it loose and have the soil to keep it in position?

Hi, is it necessary to ensure that the soil surface onto which I want to put the raised bed is absolutely flat. I do have a spirit level but I think that the ground is on a very slight slope.
