My experience of timber sided raised beds is they they are a perfect homes for pests, slugs, ants, woodlice etc... also they don't last more than a couple of years... Try the concrete gravel boards used for fencing 6' x 9" ... builders scaffold planks, are probably treated with nasty chemicals :(
Scored myself a dozen free scaffolding boards from a local building site yesterday - six 8ft ones and six 13ft ones, enough to build three beds. My old ones had practically disintegrated!

Timber does have a limited life, but if it's free, who's looking gift horses in the mouth?
