10 Pallet Projects Perfect for Any Outdoor Area or Farm
source
Pssst. May I share something with you about living in the country that nobody will tell you?
It's something important and can make a big impact in deciding whether or not you want to move to the country.
It can be expensive to get it all set up. Yep. There you have it in a nutshell....living in the country and getting a farm set up can initially be very expensive.
Even once you think you have most of it done something else needs to get done so I am constantly looking for new ways of doing things that will help make our lives more functional.
I have learned to rely heavily on recycled things at the farm to get it all done. Here I've put together a really fun and functional list of things you can do with pallets that are relatively easy to make.
Something you do need to consider though is that the screws do cost some serious dough now so remember that.

Need furniture? Why not make your own wardrobe out of pallets? Some screws, a saw and some handles and voila.

source
Need a place for compost? Just screw a few of these together. I did mine several years ago but I just did a three sided bin. It's much easier to flip the compost that way.

source
Now I fell in love with this pallet barn. If I could get my hands on enough of them I think this could be in our future.

source
Isn't this gazebo so cute? I mean it would take some time to fit it all together correctly and probably some extra wood pieces and $100 in screws but totally worth it.

source
Don't have a place to store your firewood? Here you go.

source
Now this is so much fun for kids. A pallet teepee. So much cheaper than a store bought one and probably will hold up better than one we can buy in the store.

This pallet arch really caught my eye. The only thing I worry about where I'm at in Oklahoma is the wind. I would have to stabilize it somehow. Maybe rebar? Isn't it cute? You could train some vines to grow over it.

I have longed dreamed of an outdoor shower. Sometimes I hook the hose to a branch on a tree and stand under it but we are getting more traffic around us and too many gawkers so it may be time to actually build an outdoor shower. Yes I rinse off with my clothes on lol. With a few deck blocks and some recycled wood you could make your own outdoor shower.
There you have it. Simple, affordable and really could be used just about anywhere.
What is your favorite thing you have ever made with pallets or have you ever built anything with pallets?
I'd love to hear.

Well, how cool are these...I like all of them but LUV the outdoor shower idea....
ReplyDeleteNope, never made anything out of pallets but what a great idea! Love the gazebo and the arch; very cute! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteCan't find good pallets anymore or now to expensive. Sigh
ReplyDeleteTHis is awesome. I am not too big on building myself. Any time I have a creative project it tends to looks like the before picture in a renovation show lol
ReplyDeleteWhat cool projects. I've seen stuff like this before but totally didn't realize it was constructed from pallets. I love it!
ReplyDeleteI've been seeing lots you can do with pallets and I love it all. That little playhouse for the kids is too fun!
ReplyDeleteOmg so many creative ways to use pallets!!!!! I need to share this with my hubby!!!
ReplyDeleteI've never built anything with pallets. If I didn't live in the middle of the city, I'd be tempted to give that gazebo a try and grow climbing plants on it. I live in a university city and students make all sorts of furniture out of pallets, which is actually a pretty cool budget solution for furnishing a short-term rental.
ReplyDeleteI've never built anything with pallets, but you've really inspired me. Love the idea of recycling/upcycling.
ReplyDeleteThere is a place where I love that freely gives away their pallets. I've seen some pretty awesome project created from them, but nothing quite like the gazebo or teepee. My 6yo would love the teepee and I could spend hours in that gazebo!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great post for those that love that country feel I think the pallets can be used for so many decor options. I have a few neighbors that have gardens out of pallets. Great post.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these ideas.. I am thinking to build my own farm in the backyard and I could try one of these
ReplyDeleteI am certainly obsessed with pallet decor. We made a crate out of an old pallet and hung it in our bathroom as extra storage. It was easy to do and very affordable.
ReplyDeleteThese are all such great ideas! I love pallet projects, they're so cool looking and I bet they're so fun to make! -Lynzy
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful ideas! I always wanted to make a bar from pallets. one day!!
ReplyDeleteI really love This! Such an amazing DIY project! I think I'm going to try once the weather gets warmer!
ReplyDeleteI love these ideas! My daughter would want a teepee. I wish I were more creative and could make stuff like this.
ReplyDeleteI love upcycling pallets - they have such a rustic look to them. I especially love that gazeebo! I'm nowhere near as handy enough to make one myself, but a girl can dream, right?
ReplyDeleteChristie's Take on Life. xx
I've never made anything with pallets but after seeing this I'm going to look in to it. I'm always on the hunt for a good DIY job. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWow, so many diys ideas with pallets. That's n economical way surely.I don't think I can it it myself but surely smart.
ReplyDeleteThis is something really loved out of wood, an open shower in the woods can be so much fun! Similarly the gazebo.. It really looked great! Wooden things give a great look to the interior & exterior.
ReplyDeleteValerie I want a gazebo even though I don't have the space for one but still want one. I love all of these ideas, so innovative and ingenious
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome, loved the gazebo the most!

Wow !! Great projects you made !! I love you ideas
ReplyDeleteWho knew that you could do so much with a pallet? There is some really great inspiration here. I especially like the gazebo, the color is really nice or I'm sure it can be stained. I've been asking my husband for one for a few years now, I'll have to show him this one:)
ReplyDeleteI never knew that the bumble pallet can be repurposed into such gorgeous things! I would love to construct that cute pallet teepee :)
ReplyDeleteNow who would have thought! I love the thought of re-purposing fashion and now I have a new obsession...re-purposing pallets. I was excited just reading the ideas. The Wardrobe is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteWow i like the designs of your choice! I remember my Dad used to collect scrap woods and make something like this. And he planted a vine and grows beautifully. But instead of flowers, he planted a small breed of pumpkin :) i lovr your ideas!
ReplyDeleteI've used this method before with cucumbers and squash and it works really well. Pumpkins need extra support so that they don't rip off the vine when they get too heavy but you can just use some old clothes or fabric scraps to "swaddle" them for extra support. Good luck, I'm eager to see your results.https://babyishcare.com/teepee-tent-kids/
