green oak sleepers, coach bolts, impact driver, spade, loose gravel, spirit level.
You'd be surprised with a pilot hole, but the torque isn't nice to manage with a decent drill. An impact is just safer.Thank you, guess my budget Bosch drill (present) ain't up to the job then.
We've decided to do edging bordering instead. Both beds back onto a fence, edging would be easier and cheaper and take less space.Sleepers are expensive, so do your sums to work out total costs first.
An impact driver is worth every penny when putting in lots of screws. I've been using these in 75mm and 100m lengths for some new raised beds:
For the inside liner, I've been using DPM from Screwfix. Cut it to size and then stapled into the timber.
