This would look great with some vines like sweet potato planted around the edges and hanging over or even trailing petunias planted around the edge of vegetables. Covered up, the hog wire would make a nice elevated round bed.<br />Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11159582653513181811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-19802655498867073552015-01-08T18:53:00.255-06:002015-01-08T18:53:00.255-06:00I think the grid on the outside is a cut down catt...I think the grid on the outside is a cut down cattle or hog panel and the inside is cut to size corrugated galvanized tin.

I would think they would be screwed together at the meeting end, then wrapped in Reo (reinforcing mesh) for strength. The edges would be quite deadly though, they can be very sharp. I would think this quite economical too.FionaGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09044498829299165675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-87554699825420205742015-01-08T13:21:04.183-06:002015-01-08T13:21:04.183-06:001st Man,

I know they wouldn't hold up well for me, I lean on the sides of my garden beds( because I'm getting old, lol.....) for support when working in the middle of the bed.
