Do you use clean ones, my ones are pretty dirty, could try to scrub them up, but i really havent a clue, not got a drill, i have a screw driver lol no saw :(
Looking at all the porjects you all make it look soo easy, how do you join bits of wood, nails and do you use glue? What kind of nails, im getting tempted, i would love to make a big planter, but not sure if its been treated, but if i put liner in, would that be ok?
GG you have some talent there with the pallets, i have a pallet outside, alos have a glass unti cupboard door about 3ft by 3ft, i am going to buy myself a saw and attempt a cold frame, as i would love a cold frame. Any tips would be appreciated, i have a screwdriver, not the electric ones just need a saw, oh and attempt to break down the pallet.
Do you have a hammer and crow bar they do well to take pallets apart or if not a large brick stone with the pallet slightly raised on a brick to whack and bounce the wood up
Tips Wear gloves - if you have any ear defenders or cotton wool, ear plugs to help with noise and goggles for eyes
With the cold frame figure out on a flat surface how much of a slope you would like lean the lid on something and measure height to the flat surface at the highest bit then measure length along front bottom of and width of side
Then add how deep you would like the coldframe box at the bottom
my bird house that has blue tits nesting in it at the moment
my double lettuce frame, top and bottom
my bamboo planters on wheels
below is my sparrow terrace roosting box for the winter and bottom photo is my strawberry planter made of off cuts of sleepers but on the bottom is two small pallets that are stuffed with logs and sticks for my bug hotel

This one explains a bit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7i1uHDLFgY0
Liner in planter works well
I use nails and hammer on most of the things but screws as well don't bother with glue really
Helps watching lots of youtube videos
Thanks GG, not got crowbar, i will take look at the link, much appreciated, will let you know how i get on, when i get time to start it. xx
Hello everybody , aquired some pallets and thought about doing a vertical strawberry bed , wondered if anybody out there had done one?
if so any tips on building it ? And looking after it ?
hollie hock you can also use the bricks from night storage heaters for cooking bread/pizzas in the oven or on top of the bbq

Everything is made from pallets by me
Sanjy67 really like your planters and lettuce frame and bird houses so good what can be made out of pallets
Think we all do great recycling
Just need to find some light weight pallets I can make a fence out of for the allotment plot front
