Step 4: Assembling the DIY Garden Bed
Start by positioning one 8 long mini tie lengthwise.

For the next step, add a second row of mini ties, overlapping the ends as shown.
Using a large sizeddrillbit, drill pilot holes through both ties close to overlapping ends.
Hammer long 10 spikes into all 4 corners to secure to ground.
Add another round of mini ties and stagger the railway ties as was done in the 2nd round.
Pre-drillholes at all 4 corners and hammer shorter spikes through the pre-drilled holes to secure ties together.
