How to build a raised Sleeper

Measure and plan your raised bed

Cut the sleepers to length and treat the cut edges

Lay the sleepers down to create your design

Ensure the corners are square before fixing them from the top with screws

If doing a single level bed, you can attach from the side

You can reinforce by using corner brackets

Lay a membrane down before adding the top soil
