WHY THIS PLANNER IS DIFFERENT
Frame cuts and soil purchases interact.
Basic raised-bed calculators usually stop at soil volume or total lumber footage. This planner packs the actual side cuts into whole boards, counts board courses, adjusts the soil footprint for board thickness, and compares bulk and bagged fill on the same project.
Plan frame + fillPack cuts into stock boards and calculate courses, support pieces, soil yards, bags and delivered cost.
Check materials on handSee exact shortages in stock boards, support pieces and soil volume.
Plan from a budgetFind how many identical beds fit the budget using discrete board and bag rounding.
Compare supplier packagesRe-run stock lengths and bulk-versus-bag soil pricing for two stores or yards.
