So I trenched under the frame and did 2-3 inches of gravel. Hopefully that will be enough to keep water from rotting the frame too fast. Now I'm broadforking the beds and mulching. Moves my plant starts out for sun, bit will be moving them back in nightly for now. Still a long way to go.
Finished broadforking and spread out leaves for mulch. Then arrange some large pots for cabbage plantings, put up storage pots, some art, some lights. It's really coming along. Still have to build a potting bench/sink in one of the corners and I'm done. My father has some barrels I plan to use under the bench so I'm waiting on those to complete.
Wow, what a gorgeous structure ! I'm jealous, even/especially about the bed frame.
I worry for you about the mildew (come from PNW and now have unpleasant mildew in my apt) - would you be against painting it with something like Kilz? Wyoming is probably dry enough once summer kicks in to kill it, I hope.

I'm not that worried about moisture. 11" is our average. We are classified a desert. I did trench in the hopes of saving the structure from standing water. But yeah, mildew isn't a real worry for me.
The bed frame is awesome!
