      Here's some of what I've made from pallets...

      8 seater dining table and 4 benches

      Super king size bed 6ft x 6ft6"

      Cabin bed for son

      Toy storage( always handy with 3 kids)

      BBQ table

      Never test the depth of the water with both feet

      The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory....

      Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.

          I did that when I lived in a static caraven, it was very comfy too. And a play ground for the 2 kittens, whos heads you would see popping up through the cushions …… haha

            You must all get the nice pallets! I only ever get the old ones with rusty nails that refuse to come apart, or break in the process of trying to coax them loose. That said, I did make one raised bed with the few usable planks I managed to get!

              I have some more of those type of pallets if you want them they are destined to become firewood tomorrow when I dismantle the old compost heap on my plot.

                  You are very kind, but I think I'll pass this time. Birmingham is a bit far to go for pallets. I'll keep my fingers crossed for some nice pallets the next time I order something big.

                      Just seen someone selling a bench made from old pallets for £80, so if you can get them for free lot of pennies to be made!
