We had ordered the materials needed for the construction of the raised beds. We had opted to construct the beds using concrete cinder block for longer durability. These bad boys weigh about 38 lbs each so for the 7 beds we plan to build, we got just shy of 14,000 lbs of block. Big job ahead!
The entire delivery below. Even though we were in sub zero temperatures, we were still able to take delivery.
The 6 mil clear plastic rolls that will be used to cover the caterpillar tunnel for season extension and the Quicrete that will be used to hold the cinder blocks in the beds together.
We also got fencing materials required to erect a fence around the beds since we have a Weimaraner and a Dachshund and will need to keep them out of the beds.
Besides the fencing, we got some 3/8" rebar which will serve as the anchors for the caterpillar tunnel's ribs as well as some 1/2" EMT conduit that will be bent to form the ribs.
Boy that's a lot of block on one pallet!
And we have 4 pallets!
Now the construction can start and the vision can take shape.
