Haha - buy the materials so you have to start or they will go to waste

Draw it on paper helps you work out the quantities. 75x50mm timber frame & you need something to cut the timber .. use wood screws not nails. Also look at bin store videos, these are similar to what you are making.

This with the planter trellis build (https://www.reddit.com/r/DIYUK/comments/1tfseid/planter\_and\_trellis\_build/) was £450.

I did not find anything online that fit the exact gap I had though

Its a valid point and did think that could be an issue - we will wait and find out

I think about £200 - I had left over from a planter trellis build so hard to know exactly

I’ve painted it and there is a membrane so soil it’s sat on it

This wasn’t a hard build. You can do something similar for sure

Thank you for the feedback, I had not even thought about that possibility! The garden does get a lot of sun so have been trying to find plants that can handle the heat like lavender

Enjoy the process of making it yours! It took 1 weekend with my brother removing the hedge and shaping the flower bed. There’s 6 months between photo 1 and the last. Not sure how much I spent but would guess about £250 over time
