I have sloping yard. Can I use this in a way that I can create thicker blocks on the sloping side so that everything in the end is level?

You know- cost wise- you are better off making a regular plate and shoring it up with dirt or rocks. BTW- I collect pretty stones etc and embed them in mine- also have a special one that has the grandkids handprints with ages on it.

The unit has no built in levelers...no 'feet' to speak of. You will probably need to use shims to level it....

Yes, you can. This is pretty much what the tool was designed to do. I think I was hoping I could work with thinner material.

No. This board is so thin that the drain section bows upward! The only way it could work is if you put the board on a flat platform 1 inch high or higher.

Yes you can we build both ways. it makes more sense to me to do it a block at a time, some things I've made following their instructions it was easier to build it flat and pick it up though

Yes you can. I do it with a small block of wood. Not using a block of wood to make it soft might crush your tool.be careful and safe with this unit. Works grate

Probably not the best option because the surface of this is not flat. I would suggest you get a dolly that has flat legs. For planters these work great.

If you are talking about using cinder blocks as risers, I see no reason why not. The grids are quite sturdy.

yes but you will have to shim the lower half with wood or meal to make it level.

Our driveway is slightly sloped and it works great. You should have no problems, just fill it with water or sand and it does not budge.

I have rocky, volcanic soil. By angling the pegs and changing positions slightly, I was able to use the edging very effectively. It has been installed for many months now and is working very well. Another tip is to use the pegs provided in the kit and supplement with four to six inch metal heavy duty nails or spikes.

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

We used the 11x4 in pavers for curving wall at Home Depot or Lowes. We needed for layers to get it level and high enough.

Yes and in multiple ways. I would suggest going lengthwise so you can easily garden, weed and reach your plants. Also put in the middle support boards so it doesn't bow.

Don't think it would make it more ridged, but would make it stronger! I used mine as a double and made it a greenhouse. I had some mods to stiffen it up in place of plywood sides.

Yes, I think it would work for you. Also you can set the base deeper into the ground and make it shorter if you want.

I wouldn't recommend it. I don't think there is a wide enough span for this to be stable on an incline. Even on a level surface I still make sure I put a heavy weight on it, just to be safe!
