Really cool ideas with wooden pallets! Years ago, I used pallets to make shelters for my small herd of Americian Alpine and Oberhasli dairy goats. They worked well, especially during the wet season on the Westside of the Cascades!
Where will I find the directions to make the large table top. My pallets are not closed but open about three inches. Do you just nail other boards into the pallet and use a frame for the base?
If using old , original railway sleepers, bear in mind tar/treatment used before when planting foodstuffs. We lined our raised, painted planter bed.
We painted an old pallet dark brown, lined inside with black plastic (tacked into place) inserted old plastic piping with drainage holes for irrigation down each inside – earth level and filled one side with vertical herbs and the other with strawberries. So far, so good on crops!
I love to recycle
I have a bookcase that is made out of a pallet!
Another great use for old pallets is to make a staircase out of them. If you have a base for stairs, you just stack your pallets (over each other/layer) and secure them and you have a staircase! It is a very modern country-chic type of look or it is a great look for a shop.
I was wondering if anyone could give me instructions on how to make the TV entertainment stand
Pretty cool ideas!
Fab ideas wish I could send you a pic of my pallet garden mini haven :)
Have you ever thought about making one of those things mechanics use to lie on when they are working under a car with a wood palette? Just a thought.
Very informative thanks. Was thinking what I could do with a small patch of garden at the back of my new house. Will now start collecting pallets to make decking and furniture. Thanks.
