#Purchase your landscape timbers, steel rod (rebar), and landscape spikes (giant nails). Landscape timbers come in 8' lengths, so to make things easy, with less cutting, try a pad that's in dimensions of 8' or 12', such as 8' x 8', 8' x 12', or 12' x 12'. The above pad is 12' x 12'. Anything much larger and you will need 'deadmen' laid into the pad for lateral stability. | #Purchase your landscape timbers, steel rod (rebar), and landscape spikes (giant nails).
