I want to build a couple of these for my wife's garden:

There are several ways you could do this.
I noticed the horizontal marks too and it may be plywood that is
kerfed. *It might have to be kerfed on both sides since the bends go
both directions.

I think you could also use bending plywood. *It's about 3/8" thick and
would bend both directions easily. *It doesn't have a good finished *
side but since it paints I think it would work.

Is it possible that all of the sides are made from the same bent
pieces cut to length and turned different directions? *If so, you
could make one bending jig that would work for all four sides and
clamp them up yourself. *This would require several thin rippings of
stock or you might be able to press a few layers of 1/4" ply.

I second Mikes idea of using bending plywood. Available in 4' x 8'
sheets at cabinet makers supply outfits. Front and back made of 3/4"
stock and the bending plywood for the sides.
