[QUOTE="Riley P, post: 132456, member: 2"] Funny Garry, that seems like something a son would do, go against the recommendations of their dad and bring out a different piece of equipment only to have it fail and the dad be like "See son? You should listen to your dad. " but this scenario is "See dad? You should listen to your son." :rofl:. Well, it's not really funny funny, but just funny how the roll is reversed. Thinking of dad stories, I was at Home Depot looking at brackets to build my garden boxes. Brackets are expensive so I don't want to over build these things, but I don't want it to fall apart as soon as I put dirt in them (30" high by 4' wide by 14' long at the longest part). Lots of pressure from dirt on the walls. I called my dad who was an architect with his own firm for 30 years. He asked how I'm going to build them. I say by using a frame of 2x6's and then using corrugated metal to hold in the dirt. Then he says to used corrugated metal with rounded corners, like cattle water troughs. I like the idea of rounded corners but he keeps carrying on about how I should just abandon my project and use cattle troughs (I already purchased all the wood), recommending I only start with 2. But he should know my wife doesn't want cattle troughs in her back yard.
