You can use just about anything EXCEPT old railroad ties or pressure treated wood. Naturally rot-resistant cedar landscape timbers are a popular choice; and metal frames are the good-looking new kids on the block. There are composite materials like Trex, which looks like lumber but is made of half recycled wood scraps and half recycled plastic, which is what my beds are framed with. The boards will last forever, and I really like the idea of buying the end stage result of recycling--especially keeping the plastic component out of our oceans and landfills. And many people just buy untreated pine landscape timbers, which like my rotting staves, will eventually become soil. | You can use just about anything EXCEPT old railroad ties or pressure treated wood.
