Huge help from Elvar today. We cleared the mint patch and the strawberry plants out of the garden and levelled it roughly.
With a bit of trouble we managed to get two boxes screwed together and aligned one on top of the other. We fastened them together with two wooden strips inside the box, on opposite sides. Think that should hold it together quite well.
The plan is to finish the third box tomorrow and put them in the garden ready to fill.
We (well, Elvar) drilled guide holes for three screws in each plank, put the screws all in place, then took two planks and screwed them together. I used a tile (30 x 60 cm) to make sure that the angle was 90°. Then we added a third plank, then the fourth. The first box had one side too long so we had to saw off the excess. The second box we checked the lengths before we started and it came out fine. The third box will have one side too long as well so we will have to trim it.
I meant to take a photo of the garden before we started but I forgot. Need to take some tomorrow.
