Pallets - daft question!

I've had dogs on trampolines - ask the kids BOING!

Rabbits on trampolines

[VirginVegGrower]

What about watering though? I don't want anything that is needy

I agree with Scarlet. Burn the damned thing or go and get another three - compost bin! Ta dah

[VirginVegGrower]

You need foxes for the rabbits and then a terrier to see off the foxes.

Its the rabbit problem!! I'm just trying to build little boxes/cages/trampolines to keep them at bay. I'm about to adapt a 2 drawer thingy into a planter - using the drawers as mini raised beds, and the carcass as another planter - then there's the bookcase on its back, just waiting to be filled with soil........
gets more like Steptoe's yard by the day.

Give yourself a break and don't worry about the edging - just sow seeds, that's what I do!!!

[veggiechicken]

I'll probably burn it after my attempts to make something from it

[Scarlet]

Bu@@er raised beds! Use the wood for a bonfire, chuck a couple of spuds in while its burning, wrap some fish in foil and throw that in too. Get the wine out with some olives while you wait and ta da- The wood is not wasted and you've got yourself dinner!

Not necessarily - I think they can stand pretty well or bang posts infront of and behind. You could grow both sides then.

Why don't you make a salad wall with it?

I''d have to attach that to something, wouldn't I?

[veggiechicken]

Good luck Chicken. Have you got a saw to saw through them to make them into two the same. It sounds very hard work. I wouldn't try it but i've got arthritic shoulders and sawing hurts them. I like giving things a good bashing with a hammer though.
Anyway, good luck x

I have weak arms/shoulders too, Lynne. I was virtually paralysed a few years ago and lost a lot of strength. I needed physio for months before I could lift my arms above shoulder level. Its just like a bad dream now, When my arms tire, I stop

I've lots of timber planks here, just waiting for a good use. BUT I picked up this beautiful pallet from a skip today and its just crying out to me...........use me, use me...........

Sounds logical. Mr VVG has just built me two beds at home. He bangs four pegs in and screws board to the pegs. He buys them from Harlows Timber I think. We need a trip to Wales. Look at my Twitter - I will stick a pic up.

I'm more concerned about the reassembly than the dismantling. If I can cut through the blocks, horizontally and between the inner and outer "sides" of a pallet , I could make a 3 plank high square bed from one pallet
I'm sure there must be a circular saw here - wonder if that would do it?
