Another one:
If, one night, a cat manages to get into your fenced in back yard, and your dog starts chasing it and the cat, in a panic, can’t seem to find a way out of the fenced in yard, and you panic and think you can help the cat by chasing after your dog, in the dark, as she chases the cat … if you happen to have raised garden beds that are approximately 7’ X 3.25’, or any size really, framed with 2×6s … even amid the dark, the panic, noise and commotion, remember that those raised beds are there. That’s my advice. They are a serious tripping hazard that will bring you down pretty much instantly and leave you bruised and hurting for at least a week.
And, while I said that the size of the raised bed doesn’t really matter, the approximately 3’ wide scenario is pretty bad because you get taken out by the 2X6 on one side of the bed, and when you fall, some part of your body will land pretty solidly on the 2X6 on the other side the bed, at 3’ wide. That’s what causes the worst of the hurt and the bruising, in my experience, landing on that other 2X6, rather than simply tripping and falling over the first one.
