Another project completed this spring is a set of 8 steps to descend the 5 or 6 feet from the deck behind the house down to the level where our vegetable garden will eventually go. After calculating the rise and run and drafting it all up, 8 boxes were made of pressure-treated 2 x 8's which angled in at 3 degrees each. The bank was then excavated and the boxes set in place, anchored with re-bar spikes, and back filled with various concrete bits, rocks and crushed gravel.
