At Home Depot, you could get two 10' 2x10 PT ground-contact boards for $50. Cut two 8' pieces, and you'd have two 2' pieces for the ends. Roughly the same cost, better longevity for the wood, a little more work, though you'd probably want to line the boards if you're growing food for consumption.

I did it just for comparison. Seems like a decent deal to save some labor and time, but it appears to be untreated wood, which may be good or bad depending on your perspective.

Get some of these to make it modular, easy to put together & you're good to go. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Oldca.../206501693

I'm about to build a garden bed of about this size and I'm hoping it will last a long time. What is the best choice in terms of cost and my time? This deal? Some kind of plastic?

Agreed, I did this for my raised beds.. still look brand new 3 years in. paired with a little reward to hold them in place and some treated llumber. so easy to make and so nice to have fresh tomatoes.

pro tip- grab some hardware wire for the bottom if you are worried about gophers

I made a 4'x8'x12" raised bed from 2"x6" pressure treated lumber & the concrete corners I linked. I think it cost $75 total. Easy to put together. You can have Home Depot or Lowes cut the wood for you. The wood should last a decade, at least, & the concrete "forever".

Doesn't treated lumber contain cyonide? If so, I would not grow food anywhere near it.

"Do not use treated wood where it may come into direct contact with food, such as cutting boards, counter tops, beehives, animal feed storage, silos, water troughs, compost bins, mulch, or as an edging for an edible garden."

If you don't care much about look just grab a few fence picket and a 4x4 much cheaper that way.

Your friend has shared a link to a Home Depot product they think you would be interested in seeing.

5/8 in. x 3-1/2 in. x 6 ft. Western Red Cedar Dog-Ear Fence Picket

Yea I opted not to use pressure treated wood. I don't think they're as bad as they used to be but didn't want any chemicals leaching on to food I'm going to eat.

Went with untreated Redwood which is rot resistant. Cedar is also a good choice.
