should I cut it or use it straight on raised cedar wood garden beds?

I cut the first two coats with mineral spirits by 50%. After that, straight tung oil. Depending on the wood, you may cut it the whole time.

Aaron: You can lay a 2x6 flat, or stand it on edge. Which way are you talking about? You can cut at a 45 degree angle across the board, or tilt the blade (not swivel it) by 45 degrees. How about a better description of what you want to do. Regards, Pete

I cut these very easily on my table saw. You can probably use a bare coarse hack saw blade. The manufacture has a hazard warning about inhaling dust from their material. If you place them on the wall with out a frame, you may want to cover them with a fabric.

Let me start out with saying I am not only an avid gardener but I am a Landscape Designer and know a bit more that most people about plants and what they need to grow. That being said I think a raised bed for you is a great idea. I wanted to recommend this raised bed to my sister who also lives in Florida. I would not recommend a liner. The bed is made out of cedar and that is the next best thing to treated wood. The bed can be placed directly on the ground for good drainage. In Florida, you may need to water more than most areas that will get regular amounts of rain. If you can fill the bed with an organic matter and top soil, fertilize now and then and you should have a great garden.

Hi Ann, I have friends who have cut a memory foam queen to fit their RV camper bed and had no problems. Just make sure whatever you use to cut with is sharp. The sharper the better.

I only used it for poison oak with maybe 1/4" thickness at most. 1" would definitely be a struggle, better off with a pole saw for that....

I cut plywood 15" wide to the lenght I need. I cut the material on a table, resting the end on the table with the material raised so I do not cut into my table.

I agree with the others. Unless you only need to cut 1 or 2 pieces to length, I would use a power miter saw.

I've treated my raised beds about 3 years ago with just regular wood and have not seen any rot. Better yet, the wood doesn't even look like it has aged any. I would say do it. Heat-treated wood with this stuff might out last your house. lol

I agree with others. I filled woodpecker holes in the barn, so I went over the one third inch per application thickness. I would use a test scrap of wood for practice. work fast because it hardens fast.

Just my opinion, I think maybe getting some garden edging would be better to collect the leaves, or there is flex border material, like the recycled decking, that you could wrap around ground stakes, that may be better suited. This is a great raised bed, I bought two of them, but I am going to use them for vegetable gardening and make mini-greenhouses out of them, maybe do both projects !! :)take care

Im sorry I also should have recommended that it be put on a cutting mat. This will protect your blade and keep it sharp and with grid lines help make straight lines.

I think you can use a diamond bit masonary blade that should be able do the job. Take it slow when you are cutting.

I'm not sure. The legs are metal and go to the top. Cutting the cedar boards to your length is no problem and then attach the legs. When it was put together I didn't look to see if the inside brace holding the floor boards were metal or wood. If it is metal, you have a problem. Mine is full of soil already so I can't check it. Call the. Company directly and ask. You will love this planter.

This saw is best for straight cuts so while it might be useful for preparing blanks for your purpose it might not be suited to even gentle curves. Keep one in your tool collection anyway. New uses will suggest themselves !

I can't say for sure, but I would imagine it would be OK unless you have very hard/compact soil. The first cut may be a little tough, but then you can overlap the next one by, say 50% and go on. Also, to make it easier to remove the unwanted grass, I would make the cut as close to the pavement as possible (the grass growing on top of the pavement is usually very easy to remove - the trickiest thing has been when I want to clear a couple inches to put bark between the pavement and the grass)
