What are the most wanted pallets? We recycle pallets. The “pallets wanted” signs i see in classified sections do not state the wanted pallet sizes.

I manufacture and sell Pallet Reclamation Bars. Designed to dismantle 2 way and 4 way pallets.

See a short video of the bar in action:

Its a good way to get rid of all the nails from the timber allowing for the material to be planed or even put in a thicknesser.

I recently made a nice hard wood chair from a pallet [they are normally made from a cheap hardwood]also a cover in the style of a beehive to hide my pond filter and a tray to cover my drain access which sits in a raised garden and is then filled with woodchip to disquise.Very good for many garden applications as it will take many years to rot.

I have a 4000 dollar special saw that cuts pallets and I sell the wood for firewood and I have cut up approximately 35000 pallets…Look at the wood and trees saved….and NO. ….pallets are NOT TREATED to prevent rot….at least the ones i get from the paper and food industry

Rain chains. Make a rain chain and attach to a gutter. Attach a reyclyed hose or any other tubing to the very bottom. Run the tubing into the dirt in the planter. When it rains, the rain in the gutter will be directed into the planter and the rain itself will water from the top.

I used an old pallet and a wardrobe from a skip to build nesting boxes for our chickens.

I can’t seem to find the link now, but I remember seeing something from either Readymade or Instructables for a wood pallet bike stand- propped up vertically with the front tires slid into the open slats. I’m considering doing it at my house- my boyfriend’s a cyclist and has 4 bikes of his own, plus my one bike, geeze.

the boards ao those things are often very good wood, not just white pine, does that help a little?

If they are blue then they are probably Chep pallets that do indeed belong to their pallet pool.

I use them for stalls in the barn. Screw them together, and they make a nice wall. I also lay them on the floor for the hay. I have made a hay rack, but that idea needs some work. I tried a round pen, but that needs work too. I plan to lay them on the floor so the animals won’t get their feet wet.

Who told you that? I work at a pallet mill and no chemicals are used unless the customer specifies and the chemicals are not for rot they are for bugs and fire retardant.

can anyone come up with a good irrigation system for garden planters for using as little water as possible?

By: margaret

i made a garden table and chairs out of pallets and they are still in good condition years later. they also make good garden planters if you line them with old polythene.

well, I was thinking possibly ,If you put wheels on the bottom it could be a very nice little cart for wheeling heavy things around.
