SWMBO wants some raised beds made, railway sleepers or similar.

I made 'ers out of 3x3 corners hammered in, and split pole pressure

They are going on an area which is currently slabbed with those
attractive 70's pink & yellow slabs - which will be removed.
Carpentry no problem - but should raised beds be lined with anything?
Not worried about the timber rotting - it will be pressure treated.
More moisture retention.

it still rots. wont last forever.
