Re: Longer beds

Ted Patterson wondered about longer beds:

There's no hard and fast rules about the size or shape of beds that you
use. I guess the only major requirement is that you can reach into the
centre of the beds without standing on them. I myself use beds 10' by
5', simply because that was the size of the edging timber I had on hand
and I have a long enough reach. The only catch you might find with
really long beds is that it might get inconvenient to walk right around
the bed.

Have fun, whatever size beds you end up with.
