The liner material is regular landscape fabric available from the local hardware store. What you see is what you get - the stakes are all there is for structure. They go down into the ground about 18 inches and they provide plenty of structure. The soil mixture I used is a combination of "Pro Mix" and cow manure compost (about 50:50) with a good amount of vermiculite added to retain moisture. The soil mixture is about 18 inches deep inside the beds. Hope that answers your questions sufficiently. <br/><br/>Happy Gardening!<br/><br/>Kind Regards,<br/>Michael Hello Barbara,

I have a some questions about the construction of the new garden beds…

Do they keep the rabbits out (because of the height; what is that liner material (landscape cloth? it looked heavier than that to me) and are they really structurally supported by the posts you can see or is there a sub-structure hidden inside the basket weave sides?

Also, are they fully soil or is there a base material (hay bales?) underneath- that’s a lot of soil!

Thanks!

Barbara
