Depth of Container

A few years ago I tried SQFT Gardening and it was great.  The next year we
didn't plant - got caught up with other things.  This year we'd like to
plant again, however our previously quiet undisturbed back yard is now
fenced in and occupied by a retired racing greyhound, a whippet and a
beagle mix (Cody, Cache, Buster).  Everything in the yard gets urinated
upon, and new things get a lot of initiation...even the barrel we use to
pick up pine cones.

My two garden spots are between the brick patio area and the actual yard,
and would be the site of frequent "waterings" I'm afraid.  We were thinking
of converting those sites by raising them up on posts (like for wheelchair
access or standing for gardening).  The book suggests outdoor grade plywood
(1/2 to 5/8 in.).  My QUESTION is: How deep should we make the 4X4 boxes ?


Am sure others have gardened around pets.  Suggestions?
