    Here is a cold frame made from pallet planks and an old over bath shower door.

    Like your planter GG...you must have an electric saw to make cuts like that image and the cold frame No expert is fab. 

    Haven't got pics but I've made a fence at the bottom of the plot, some raised beds and I've some really rough pallets for a compost area. I've started on a two seater seat too with a half pallet but that's a project in progress...

     Should keep all sort of gear safe and dry. Next project is a garden table to go with the bench, don't hold your breath.

    Thanks Panda. It's amazing what a lash of woodstain can do to a pallet.

    No expert, did you have to plane the wood first to get that wonderful finish?

    The pallets were clean and I gave them a heavy sanding, then 2 coats of Ronseal fence life.

    Hello all

    No expert I am lining it with a mini grow bed lining bag

    Zoomer44 - just a hand saw all measured and then maths - marked all out with metre stick and pencil where I was going to cut, stood it upwards leant against trestles and sawed down the pallet was a bit tricky to do but got there

    I have painted my strawberry planter maple leaf green Cuprinol garden shades

    Today I have been sorting out a bench nailing together and sanding it down
