    Default Anyone got any OSB in Perth??

    G"day,
    'Her indoors' wants some OSB to make a veggie patch. I know OSB might be an insult in this forum, but it is waterproof, any other suggestions would be welcome.

    I would use hardwood sleepers 50mm thick by 200mm wide and 2400mm long to build the vegie patch. This is what I did and it has worked a treat so far.

    Sleepers work well. I'd avoid osb, it's not fully waterproof and full of formaldehyde and other nasty stuff I wouldn't want getting absorbed into veges. Sealing with bitumen paint is an option but it's messy stuff. We did that once when we used treated sleepers (arsenic iirc), and lined the inside with pvc sheet.
