Comment on How to Build a Raised Garden Bed – Made Easy with the M Brace by Judy

m brace brackets are 16″ tall, so we suggest using 2″x8″ size boards. To create a 3′x6′ size bed, buy 3 Qty. 2″x8″x12′ boards. Cut two of the boards in half to create your 6′ garden bed length. Cut the last 12′ board into four 3′ sections. These four pieces will stack easily into the m brace for your 3′ side of your garden bed. To sum it up, you can create a raised bed with 3 boards, 1 set of m brace brackets and no tools!

As far as I can tell, wood screws are not exactly categorized 1 through 16. The most popular types of screws are 1, 17, 23 and 25. Type 1 point is a thread cutting screw with single flute for general use. Type 17 is a thread cutting screw for wood. It has course tapping screw threads with a special long, sharp point that is fluted to capture chips. The #17 point is common with Screw Products screws. Type 23 is also a thread cutting screw that has fine threads. The #23 screws offer maximum thread cutting area and excellent chip clearing, with minimum tightening torques. #25 screws are similar to #23 point except with coarse Type B thread. The #25 screw is useful for plastics and soft materials.

Their C-Deck Composite Deck screws are by far the BEST screws for TREX or any other composite decking material. The Bronze Star screws are the best for any every day exterior/ACQ use. LOVE them. Another use that we have found for the Bronze Star screw, is in Hardie Backer cement board. The screws that are manufactured for use in Hardie Backer (under layment for tile) are bulky, very hard to start, and always stop short and then strip when you try to set them……I hate using them. I have found that the Bronze Star screws work great for this application! They are exterior rated, start way easier and drive quickly and easily. Love the products this company produces, although the prices are a little tough. Would love to see the prices a bit more competitive. These are products that I would use for every application, if they were a little easier on the pocket book. For now, any special use or difficult application, they are the best and worth some extra (but I make sure I pick up the drops and don’t leave any behind!)
