My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Cedar raised bed design

7 years ago

What do you think about these. they are for sale locally in my area. Made of cedar. Do you think they will last longer than untreated pine 2x10 boards. Trying to see if I should build my own out of pine or buy these. Thoughts?

    A link or a picture would help. Cedar will definitely last longer than untreated pine or treated pine for that matter but if the thickness is less that a 2x then that will decrease its longevity.
