Hello!
I want to use pallets to make a short fence to separate my she shed area from the main back yard the kids play in. Where is a good place to get free pallets? Is there a type I should not use (I see a lot of "is it safe" posts)?
I also want to make a floating deck for my she shed.
Hypothetical here: if you had access to some HT 5' pallet boards, most likely 3/4" thick, would they be suitable for use on a fence? Not just slapping them on, but actually sanding and sealing them as well.
Posts would be bought, I could probably get ahold of fairly long 2x4s as well for the panel attachments.
Is it ok to use the blue or red pallets or are they treated with something unsafe? Should I stick to plain pallets? Thanks.
I saw a picture of a small, very simple construction involving two pallets that made i nice little flat top prep station for grilling but cannot locate it. Just wondering if you guys/gals have ever seen something of this nature and if so, could you post a picture of it? Thank you for your time!
I know not to get the ones chemically treated, but any other advice?
I am looking to make a pair of sun loungers and then later an L sofa for my terrace.
Any tips on what varnish, grit grade for sanding, wood glue or adhesive to use?
I have an idea of the assembly but its more technical stuff that maybe a carpenter would know.
Thanks
I know HT and KD are safe and MB is not. However I have a blank pallet, no markings. It looks like it may have been heat treated but I can’t know for sure. Is it safe to use for a planter bed that vegetables are grown in? If pesticides or harmful chemicals were used in its production are they required to be labeled? Will they have a different color to them than the natural wood if they’ve been chemically treated? Thanks!!
Hi everyone
Last year I had some wooden euro pallets that I simply stacked 2 for a base, 1 for the back and made some makeshift garden sofas. I moved house and got rid of them, but I kept the cushions.
Thinking of getting 3 of the plastic monobloc pallets for a simple solution for our (presumably very short) British summer. Is there any reason these wouldn’t work in exactly the same way as above?
I’m moving again soon so want something a little lighter weight that I can clean and move easily. What do you think?
