Recycled Pallet Bench (not a tutorial)

[Earthgirl]

Just thought I'd share this

A friends son in law made this for us in a couple of hours this afternoon, he's a clever boy

He didn't have a plan, just a large pallet that the fence panels came on and and a spare couple of fence posts and I asked him if he could make us a bench.

4 of us sat on it this afternoon easily.

We're chuffed and this isn't staying when we move

A good sand and a couple of coats of paint and it will look even more upmarket... lol...

Nice work!

 

[johnnytheboy]

Nice one we have loads of super sized pallets at work!

 

[Earthgirl]

Thanks all

I'll ask him if he's interested in doing a tutorial if anyone is interested ?

Thats brilliant.
Looks like it would be grateful of some stain and finish to give it a longer life.
Would love to see a tutorial.

The business, very well done!

Great job

I see pallets getting broken up and skipped at work everyday, they won't let me bring them home either

I'll ask him he's a shy bugger but very talented and loves doing this kind of stuff

Yup, H&S has gone mad at our place in the last few years.

Even if I just burn it it's got to be better than landfill.

That's harsh - he has his uses

Against the law now to let them go for firewood according to my mate who used to buy them in by the lorry load for firewood (broken ones). Something to do with the tantalising chemicals. Nuts I agree.

ETA

Stonking bench!!

Looks grand , it would still look like a load of pallets if I'd created it.
