Pallet Wood Projects

In recent years, a new trend in furnishing is spreading, which involves the creation of design solutions through the use of wooden pallets. The pallets are made of rough wood and have become famous in recent years for the ease with which you can work and create many pallet wood projects. The simplest idea to realize is to transform the wooden crates into a sofa for outdoor use, as it takes advantage of the already natural resistance of the wooden pallets and the resistance to the elements.

The reason is simple: the pallets are made of strips of wood that can be worked in various ways, adapting to many uses. One of the most popular pallet wood projects is the low living room table, to be realized with two stacked wooden crates and covered with a continuous top.

The versatility of the pallet recycling allows us to use them in a thousand different ways, such as the creation of sofas for the exterior, following the same principle of the bed structure, adapted to the size according to the available space. Covering a wall with wooden pallets means first of all "disassembling" the pallet and using the axes that make up its shelf. To use the pallets in the exterior of your home, you will need to use impregnating paints to protect the wood from the water and make it last over time, always after the wood treatment.

Tables, drawer units, beds, chairs, furniture, objects and many other products to be made entirely with pallets: there is no limit to creative wood pallet ideas. Although the wooden pallets are versatile and suitable for multiple uses, in the case of a gazebo you will have to resort to the use of thick beams to create a strong load-bearing structure.

Entirely formed of wooden pallets, if combined with the use of other materials, it allows to obtain a good insulation from the weather and thus become an effective housing solution even for long periods. Another original way to recycle the pallets is to make a bed base with a container. The number of pallets used depends on the size of the mattress and for a double bed two pallets will be sufficient.
