We were thinking about replicating the 2 sleeper raised beds we have on the patio further down the garden.
Having looked at it ,it’s going to be a big job as we have lots of plants that would need digging up and replanting.
We currently have some decking boards that don’t line up as edging for the flower beds . It looks shit.
We are thinking a single sleeper on its side might look more interesting.
Inspire us .
Love a good edging
Did ours last year with oak sleepers. Long side down onto gravel, joined and screwed together. It's rock solid 🙂
The bit with the gravel is just 3x2 as we're doing the patio this year and will have edging stones along that section.

Some of the joints were a bit tough, cutting the oak with a hand saw. Pretty pleased with the results:
It was a big job and shifting the sleepers alone was hard but well worth it I think. Got some heavy duty 90° and 135° brackets off eBay to reinforce the joints.
That's looking good . Mrs Zip wanted some curved edges but that angle works a treat.
Slates? You can normally find them on fb marketplace dead cheap or free. Stab into the ground and overlap. Simple and looks awesome.
Plant some willow whips and weave them for a living fence; takes a bit of pruning once or twice a year and you’ll loose a bit of planting space once they root but makes a nice feature.
