I am not sure if these pipes are known as culverts or not. I just call them drainage pipes.

They cost me $80 --At first I thought that was alot but upon reflection I realized that wasn't bad as they were 10 feet long and 24" wide and made 2 long raised elevated beds. I had made an all-wood bed and that doesn't last--these will last forever.

Some come with drainage holes already / some need to be drilled. They cut easily with a saber saw. I cut 'ends' out of plywood and cover with plastic.

These 'pipe' beds were 'free' gotten at a construction sites where they were throwing pieces away. They were 36" wide. We cut them into lengths about 2 feet high--I have about 10 of these.
