Tree branches for raised bed?

[Bylough]

I've cut some tree branches. and am wondering whether these could be used on a raised bed- cut into short lengths of course, to suit.

And further- what is used to prevent tree bark rotting away and must it be done as soon as cut ?

Thanks

Thanks for the reply- save me a lot of cutting. And doing a poor job.
Much quicker to buy- enough work putting it up!
