Amazing Things Made From Old Pallets

Post by razzledazzle »

Great Stuff Made From Garbage!

This video is so chock full of amazing visuals and ideas you will want to go full screen, and be ready to click on the pause button several times.

You will see a blizzard of awe-inspiring creations made from old wood pallets: everything from spice racks to outdoor bleacher seating. This is all made from old wood pallets that we can get for free!

Some are useful everyday items like tables and chairs that seem simple enough to put together even with rudimentary carpentry skills. Many are ultra chic design masterpieces! You will see birdcages, staircases, bookcases, sofas, shoe racks, coffee tables, office furniture, patio decks, compost bins, planters, kids furniture, beds, dog houses, play houses - and yes, even real houses!

RazzleDazzle, that vid was extraordinary. I may have the answer to a backyard project yet.
As WW3 develops, no one is going to be dissing the "preppers." What have you done?

I just built a composter (with friend help) a week ago Saturday :D and theortically they'd be a quick fence if you needed one!

I've used pallets for years now. My current fence is made from pallets, complete with an arbor over the gate (another pallet).

I have a friend who built an 8x12 shed out of pallets. He collected them and dismantled them over the winter, sorted all the various kinds and dimensions, then over the following spring and summer he built the shed. It has a locking door (recycled), two windows (recycled) and a shed-style roof (also from recycled materials). The only things he bought new were the nails and the cement to sit it on.

Here are some great examples and ideas

Pretty sure this is how I'm going to approach my garage addition.

Make sure you scroll the whole thing, a little something for everyone...

Sheds, coops, fences, play houses, even a cottage...
