What width are the boards? They look the right depth for me, sometimes people have really deep beds.

thanks kea. i had to move them today as when i first planned them they ran parralel with the slabbed path. but when i outlined my adjoining path they were all out. my two paths are at about.110 degrees so the beds are starting to fan out a bit.
