Anyone used Woodblocx?

Or similar?

Saw it on the Monty Don garden programme the other week and thought it would be good to level out our beds at the back of the garden, make the steps less likely for someone to fall down and make some raised beds. And looked as though I would be able to to this by myself. Am I kidding myself? Is there something better out there? Should I be looking at someone to do it more professionally?

Thanks! St Davids

My friend used woodblocx a few years ago in her back garden and it's all she talks about. Gutted as before she got woodblocx I had old railway sleepers installed and they've fallen to bits! She said she didn't have any help and it all fitted together very easy within a few days. The finished product looks pretty too with all the flowers planted. Hope this helps :)

I've used them to make a big corner planter and it looks great still after five years. It was easy enough to put together, you just need a really heavy hammer/mallet so your arms will ache like hell the next day!

Thanks for the advice, I'm definitely going to do this. It's not a huge area or tall so feeling I'm more than up to it!
