Fantastic work @moshiach77, many thanks for sharing this project with the Workshop community. We look forward to seeing the other two raised beds you are making.
Now I'm back from holidays, please let me also extend a very warm welcome to Workshop. We're really pleased you could join us and look forward to seeing more of your handiwork. Feel free to post whenever you have something to share or need a hand. And please let me know if you ever need help getting the most from the site or have any feedback about how we can make Workshop even more useful to you.
Thanks for joining in the discussion @fishingfan. I'm sure @moshiach77 will get back to you as soon as possible and answer your question about cutting the corrugated sheeting. I'll also tag some other handy Workshop members like @Brad, @ProjectPete and @redracer01 for you who also might have some advice.
Welcome to Workshop. Please post whenever you need assistance with a project or have something new to share. We look forward to reading all about your projects and plans.
Traditional way is to use niblers, I have a metal cutting circular saw and you could also use a multitool or a jigsaw. A cutting disk in an angle grinder will do it but you will have to live with the bur it leaves and either cover it or clean it up and keeping the cut straight can be a problem. Snips if you like a manual option.
Nice work @moshiach77 - given the fact the cut ends are covered/concealed, I'd probably just rip through it with an angle grinder and give yourself an opportunity to practice cutting straight lines on wonky material.
Let me tag project creator @moshiach77 for you so they are alerted to your questions. Great to see you are inspired by their work.
Let me also extend a very warm welcome to the community to you both. Please feel free to post anytime you need a hand with a project or have something to share. We have lots of helpful members who are always happy to share their experience and knowledge. And please let me know if you need assistance getting the most from the site or have any feedback about how we can further improve Workshop for you.

What you use to fill your new garden beds really depends on what you plan to grow and the size of the beds. If you'd like to provide more detail, and better still, provide a photo, I'm sure our clever and helpful members will be more than happy to assist.
Nice to be in this community, very new to gardening and DIYs and so excited to learn from all of you.
I wanted to improve my backyard by adding some DIY raised bed but not sure of where to start. is there a workshop for this? would also want to know what are the costs involved. Thirdly, would anyone know where to source a galvanised planter box that's hollow (no bottom part - not even sure if this makes sense.)
