I am desperately trying to find them here in Ohio. I bought some from menards about 4-5 years ago and build a raised bed garden. Now I want to build another and can't find them. Menards told me if I could get a SKU# they might be able to track them down for me. Of course I don't have one from the bed I already built. :( I'd greatly appreciate any help. kniehaus2@hotmail.com Could you tell me the SKU number on the timbers?

As far as I can tell, it looks to be mostly rubber. Whatever it is, it's not a completely homogeneous mixture. They smelled like rubber when I drilled/burned a hole through them.

I made a vegetable garden out of them and now I am wondering what is in them and if they are safe. I am growing food, so it is a concern. Any ideas? I have some of those timbers from Menards.

They are the same size as the cheap wooden timbers with the rounded ends, and they have a tongue and groove so you can stack them. I stacked two and staked them to the ground with 24" pieces of rebar. I offset the top and bottom courses a little bit for stability. I could have gone with much bigger timbers, but this isn't really a retaining wall, just a small border. Each timber is about $5 at Menards and weighs 35-40 lbs. I will try to post another detailed picture soon if the weather cooperates. You know, I’d have to check to be sure, but I’m pretty sure they are 2-1/2″ high, 3-1/2″ wide, and 8′ long.
