Hey friends, I'm SO excited to be sharing this DIY enclosed garden project with you! I've been wanting to build this for a while now and this year, I finally tackled it. It turned out even better than I imagined AND was even easier to build that I first thought.
I hope you enjoy watching it come together. If you want to build one of your own, I've got you covered!

Materials:
FOR THE ARBOR: (I used cedar for the arbor material)
(8) 4x4x8 posts
(8) 2x2x8 boards
(10) 2x4x8 boards
FOR THE FENCING: (I used pressure treated lumber for the fencing)
(8) 4x4x8 posts
(20) 2x4x8 boards
(20) 2x2x8 boards
(8) fence post caps (optional)
OTHER MATERIALS NEEDED:
(25) cedar fence pickets (to build garden beds inside fence)
Welded wire fencing material (you’ll need 4 ft wide x 100 ft): homedepot.sjv.io/e4xA1Q
1 ¼″ exterior wood screws
2 ½” exterior wood screws
2 ½” exterior pocket hole screws: amzn.to/3WQiUeZ
2 ⅞″ timber screws: homedepot.sjv.io/x9JJO5
¾″ staples

(2) gate latches: amzn.to/3oFQlUy
Weed barrier fabric, gravel, pavers, mulch, soil as desired for inside
(4) 80 lb bags concrete to set posts
NOTE: There are varying opinions on using treated wood in and around the garden. I recommend you do your own research as there are a lot of factors to consider--not all soils are the same, not all treated wood is the same, not all applications are the same. We did our own research and built our garden the way we did intentionally and mindful of the pros and cons.
To be honest, what they're spraying on the crops in all of the fields nearby and all the garbage they add in processed foods are far more of a concern to me than treated wood posts...but I digress.

Very nice garden and beautiful property!! I built 9 garden beds at the start of covid and added drip irrigation so I never water -- it was a game changer!

@SawdustmakerLori Жыл бұрын

That turned out SOOO beautiful!!! It looks totally professional. If it were mine I would add a bench outside to just sit and admire the garden or perhaps you'll put your Adirondack chairs out there. Bubby looks like such a friendly cat. He always wants to be close by where you're working!

Thank you so much! A bench is a great idea! I’ve already been brainstorming some ideas 😉 Bubby is great company. Sometimes he’s in the way, but I appreciate his enthusiasm to see how he can assist haha.

This is beautiful! We built a 42x42 enclosed garden a few months back and your garden has inspired me to add ground level flower beds all around the inside! We have several raised beds and a few planters currently. Looking forward to more videos!

This is awesome! I have been trying to decide on a look for a space I'm enclosing. I only have to make two sides - coming out from the corner of my house and turning to my deck. It's for an 18' x 24' space I have that's next to my tiny back deck that's off the kitchen, and I want my veggie garden there. My dad taught me well and even though I'm in my 60s now, this is a project I can tackle with a friend easily. Thank you for showing how it's done!

Love it! I knew there were deer given what you were doing. I hope to build a grape arbor with the grapes covering the top for shade and proper residential grape growing. I hoped to put a garden inside. this is a wonderful idea on how to accomplish it in the center of my yard. The grapes have to be away from house and neighbor tree or they will destroy whatever they come in contact with. This year my garden looks like your beginning lol. We have had to remove the clay soil to get anything to grow and then had to cover it with burlap to block some of the heat and sun. At times I water it to create a steam cooling system. Climate change has been challenging. I hope to build what you have shown this fall so it is ready next spring. thank you so much!

looks great. i made garden boxes similar to yours with cedar fence pickets too. mine lasted 12 years before they needed replacing. thats under the wet pacific northwest conditions. this is great timing as i am getting ready to replace arbors that separate my front yard from the back. i’m going to incorporate many of your techniques in my build. 🎉

12 years is pretty good! And the other good thing is that cedar fence pickets are pretty inexpensive to replace 🙌 I’m glad you enjoyed the designs. Happy building! 😊

@loulunetta425 Жыл бұрын

Very Nice. My tip, if you are going to expand it in the future. When I fenced around my driveway, I used similar construction to your fence but used cedar boards instead of wire. To set the 2x4s, I put wooden screw clamps on the post at the desired height and just laid the 2x4 across them. I screwed in the pocket holes from the top and plugged them. I've also used the clamps as a saw guide to cut a flush top. I wasn't lucky enough to be on the flat.

I was just about to start painting the bedroom ceiling when I noticed this video had been uploaded. I needed a little break anyways! Absolutely fantastic. The wood and wire look so good together and your design is sweet. I am planning to make some panels with the welded wire and wood for a temporary moveable fence that gives the pups a little more running room but looks nice too. Best line of this video, "if it looks straight, it is straight ". Thanks for another video and inspiration!
