Recycled deck wood! SCORE

We were hunting on craigslist for wood to make our garden boxes for this spring and SCORE.  The guy down the street from us took off his deck because it was unsturdy!

Yippee!  They are 10ft so perfect size to cut at 6ft and 4ft!  I'm so excited!

  • That is great! The only thing you might want to consider if it is treated wood. Some people do make beds out of treated wood, but for us--we were hesitant about chemicals leeching in.

  • Yea, we are gonna check the wood we grabbed.  None of it appears to be treated other then severely weathered.  The house has been abandoned for at least five years years and the guy who bought the house is remodeling it.

  • That's great!  We had to take our deck stairs off and replace them, and we are using that wood to make our boxes.
  • That's awesome!  What a good find!
