Is it a 9" wall (double brick thickness)? What type of sleepers do you intend to use? How do you intend to fix the sleepers together (gravity is the wrong answer)? Only plan for 5 years life if softwood.
Dibs on wood, if you'll post.

Triggered by the multiple bottles of bubble liquid and sun faded plastic toys. First thing I notice when I look out the back windows.

Garden project for the early spring is to remove this wood store. Don’t burn wood, don’t need to store wood to burn, and the wall here is south facing so this is a nice little sun trap. Going to replace it with a raised bed, grow a nice climbing rose up the wall, will look v pretty and I’ll also keep a little nook of space to store the BBQ in. Raised bed likely made out of sleepers or similar chunky treated timber.
Question: when it comes to building the side of the raised bed adjacent to the wall do I want to
A) Build it directly against the wall
B) Build it against the wall but with a layer of something between it and the wall to stop damp getting into the brickwork (if so, what’s that layer of something?)
C) Build it slightly away from the wall?
D) Something else?
