Has anyone made a fence out of wooden pallets? What else have you made using pallets?

[Aneeda72]

Thinking of making a garden fence out of wooden pallets, looks fairly easy. Has anyone done this? Did you sand them down? Did you pain’t them?

I have seen folks make a fire with one.

Think my cousin made an end table out of pallets,,looked good.

Would think it would be like you would be using regular lumber.

Decide how tall you want the fence.
Are you planing on separating the pallets ?

If not you would still need stabilizing To hold them up, end pieces.

Hard to explain how I might do it with out drawing pictures.

I've made compost bins using old pallets.

There's so much you can do with old pallets, this year I'm going to attempt to make a couch and chair, and coffee table of the pool area... You can also make some pretty cool wine bottle holders, or coat rack... and I have seen the fences @Aneeda72... I've seen them put up as is and have seen them with a wood sealer, and painted... think it depends on what you like...

@mike4lorie I am going to paint them blue to match my shed . Do I have to sand them and then paint them? None of the sites I looked at said anything about sealing them.

I think I can hold them up with rebar behind them and use a plastic tie. I want a cheap but nice looking way to keep the dogs out of my garden

I have a 4 pallets that the roof shingles were delivered on a couple of years ago, when we had a new roof put on the house. I've mulled over several uses for them, but the wood is hardly worth doing anything with....so I just have them laying behind my workshop, and pile some stuff on them that I don't want left on the bare ground.

If you want to keep animals out of your garden, I found a device that works great. I don't have any barriers around my garden, and we have gobs of deer around, and this neat little motion sensor sprinkler keeps them at bay, nicely.

Or, I guess you can build a house out of them. Sky's the limit.

These might be above our skill set

Now you have gotten me curious as to what/how many pallets we have hanging around!

Of course my mind makes plans for what to build,,, hubby seldom follows thru building them.

 

[old medic]

I have about 20 laying around at the moment.... nice thing about a tractor is everything goes on a pallet...LOL
Yup fires.... Built many over the years... INSIDE HOUSES... LOL... Fire training.
Stack a half dozen it the corner of a room around a bale of hay.. a little diesel fuel.... hot fire...
I can pick up pallets at the hospital loading dock just about everyday...

The trick is not how many pallets you have, it’s what can you make out of them.

I sanded down oak pallets and did a half-wall panelling with a shelf in a bathroom. Looked great and cost almost nothing.

Humff ,,that won't last.
