Recycling old pallets

Heres some old wooden pallets ive recycled

 

I wish I was handy....... I can't bang a nail in straight. If I had a go I'm afraid the neighbours would call the cops because of the swearing........

 

yes i saw this in your other picture and thought oh i like that
well done

 

I see no joins in the verticals, what size pallets were they? Looks like they came from a packing crate for a destroyer ! Cheers, Tony.

 

the pallets are for plasterboards and they are easy to get apart if you know how i use a large crow bar a 4lb hammer and an axe head

 

I used to get loads of the plasterboard pallets when I worked on new-build houses.. shame I never saved any of them, looks great.

 

brilliant for fence and shed construction im gonna have a go at a wooden framed polytunnel for the allotment next.

 

Looks good Karl.

Funny you should post this today, I am in the middle of making three planters from an old cage type pallet that some box hedging was delivered in. I wasn't too sure how it would turn out but I'm happy with how they are looking. Bit rustic but will look good with a bit of sanding.

I'll post up a photo when they are finished, later in the week.

 

Not as impressive as yours Karl, but I used some pallet wood to make grow-bag containers.

a-a

 

i like the planters pal think i might be making some of those

 

As promised my planters, two rectangular ones and a triangular one for a corner.

Would look good stained but I'm going to leave them as they are this year.

 

They all look great,what brilliant ideas

 

How do we go about acquiring old pallets in sufficient numbers to make something good?

 

just keep your eyes peeled builders are good to ask save them having to pay to tip them
