Make a long-lasting rot-proof raised garden bed by casting your own concrete panels with these abs durable plastic molds. These concrete forms have a removable pipe that forms a hole in the overlapping end of the cast garden box wall. Rebar is inserted in the holes to pin the corners together either in a straight line or at a 90 degree corner. I've been making these wooden molds and casting these concrete garden box panels for around 10 years now. 5 years ago I made a video showing my first wooden mold design from plywood. In the years since I've refined and simplified the design in an attempt to make them easier to build, and to also experiment with making the panels lighter.
Not everyone who wants a raised concrete garden bed has the tools or ability to make their own molds. That's where these new plastic forms come in. Now you don't have to build anything at all. If you can add water to a bag of concrete mix then you can make these panels. Read the detailed blog post instruction writeup that details how easy it is to make a raised garden bed that will last a lifetime.

I have made a lot of concrete planters and this time I wanted to experiment with making reusable molds. This segmented concrete planters are made out of Quikrete 5000 concrete mix which comes pre mixed in 80lbs bags and all you have to do is add water. I made one mold out of left over PVC 1-1/4” PVC pipe screwed to a piece of vinyl floor mat. The concrete hexagon planter was made out of pieces of PVC trim board ¾” thick and 5-1/2” wide. I used hinges to connect the boards. The insides of the concrete planters are made from mixing buckets and plastic bottles.

A paver walkway is nice, but very expensive and time consuming. A plain slab of concrete is less expensive, but plain to look at. There are some neat molds that allow you to have the look of intricate pavers but poured from concrete. I've never used them until now, but how hard can it be? I'll let you know.

You should always use a mold release of some kind when making concrete and mortar castings. There are mold release sprays for concrete available through mold and concrete supplies stores but they can be costly or not readily available in your area. There are a few things found in most homes that can be used as a concrete mold release.
In a pinch, WD-40 could be used but is not really an ideal product. It has a thin viscosity and contains chemicals to help penetrate rust. Also, it has quite a strong odor.
Cooking oil such as olive oil or vegetable oil found in almost every kitchen everywhere, is another DIY mold release option that can be used. It can be sprayed on or wiped on with a cloth but either way, be sure to remove excess oil so it does not compromise the finished product.
A combination of dishwashing liquid and isopropyl alcohol can be combined in a spray bottle and sprayed onto the surface of the mold, again wiping off any excess or pooling. The isopropyl alcohol dissipates and the detergent leaves a protective layer on the mold enabling an easier demolding.
Beeswax is another alternative concrete mold release agent. Apply with a stiff brush or cloth to your concrete mold making sure to get good coverage. Using a little heat to soften the beeswax helps it be a little easier to work with and apply.
When applying a mold release agent be sure to wipe up any spots with excess or pooling. If too much release agent is left on the mold it could affect the quality and finish of the concrete casting.
