Raised bed kit B+ Q £16.99.

I bought a kit today from B+Q, 1m x 1m,seems good quality,extra deep,consists of wooden slats that simply slot together to form a decent sized bed.seems good value compared to the cost of some of the ones ive seen online..
PS,and for anyone more into DIY,they had 2.4m long decking boards for only £2,98 each,I think if these could be cut in half then doubled up in height they would make a decent 1.2m x 1.2m raised bed,not quite as deep as the kit tho,but still ok...and with 15% off all decking at the moment it would cost just over a tenner.

Week 10,total weightloss is now 13.5lbs Week 11 STSweek 14(I think)..-2, total loss now 1 stone exactly
GOT TO TARGET..1/2lb under now weigh 10st 6.5(lost 1st 3.5lbs)

    Theyve been £16.99 in my local B+Q for several weeks now,in fact when i went today i was expecting them to be back up to £19.99,but nope,the special offer is still on...maybe the money off sign is missing?,I only knew these were reduced because they had one built up on display with the special offer price on it.

    Odd because I checked on Thursday last week and they were at £19 and then went to another store on Tuesday and at same price

    I saw them in a section where all bargains are, this was on both stores. Got a heated propagator at £10 maybe its not all areas at that price

    Went back to B&Q and can confirm these are on offer. My store had two types one about 1.5-1.8 metres and another 1 metre sq but had more depth both at same price of £16.99

    I going to get two of the 1 metre square and put in on a old concrete driveway
  • i got a simular thing from morrisions a few weeks ago 1 m square about 10 inch deep for £9.99. Dunno if it was on offer as my dad picked it up for me.

    Amazing......

    It's a miracle the human race hasn't vanished into oblivion if people are still unable to use one of
    these.......>00938126000_1229536815168?wid=64&hei=64

    Go get some pallets from your local builders, they are usually more than willing to let them go for free, they take up alot of skip space, and will probably last as long as your decking planks.
    All you do is pull them apart with the hammer, then put them back together with the hammer, and some nails if you want them to stay together....

    Free gratis, any idiot could do it. Even this idiot......
