The process of making beds
1. Determine the center of the gutter and using a marker, draw a line. If this is not done, then subsequently the beds will not hang evenly.
2. On the sides of the gutters, it is necessary to outline and drill the holes into which the cable will run. In order for the gutters to be stably fixed, the holes must be made with a drill of 3 or a slightly larger diameter.
3. Between the side holes for the cable, we drill the drainage holes with the same drill in the center.
Assembly of hanging beds
1. We determine the permanent residence for beds. An ideal place for them, where there will be a lot of sun. If you have a gazebo, then boldly hang the beds on its sunny side.
2. Once the location is found, it is necessary to drill holes whose diameter will be less than the diameter of the hooks. Next, screw the hooks into their permanent place.
3. Now at the bottom of the beds we lay material that allows moisture to pass through.
4. We hang the gutters on the cables, which in turn are fixed on hooks.
5. We level the beds using the level, insert the arc-clamps and tightly clamp.
6. The beds are ready and all that is now required of you is to fill them with black soil and sow everything that the soul desires.
