Use of old wooden pallets in everyday life

Recently, I came across an old wooden pallet that once came to us when buying bricks. The bricks were used for their intended purpose, and the pallet, as unnecessary, was left to grow old near the barn.

And then I had a question, can this pallet serve in the household? Without delay, I began to be interested in this topic. And it turned out that people with creative thinking have been giving a second life to pallets (or, as they are called in the European manner, pallets) for a long time.

The use of this “garbage” in ideas in everyday life was so diverse that I wanted to share this wealth of thoughts with others. As it turned out, euro pallets can be used in two versions: as they are and in disassembled form.

Since disassembling pallets is time-consuming and requires certain skills, we will consider this option in a separate article . In the meantime, let's dwell on the ideas of using old wooden pallets (pallets) in everyday life with the least investment.

What can be done from pallets:

Coffee or coffee tables from pallets look great, to which the most minimal effort has been made to ennoble them.

If there are enough pallets available, then you can expand the circle of creativity and make not just a table, but also sofas and chairs, if you know how to work not only with a saw and a hammer, but are able to pick up fabric and scissors.

You can also make various racks, partitions, bar cabinets.

A large number of pallets at hand makes it possible to design an office or workplace in a minimalist spirit.

Or a room for learning and playing activities for your child, a small house or a comfortable, secure crib.

If pallets are already lying around completely idle, and you don’t have time, at least organize a place to store tools or a compost pit.

For instructions on building a compost pit, see the link .

And with more diligence and skill, you can equip a recreation area with sun loungers and deck chairs, protecting your feet from wet grass or flooded areas, and surround yourself with beautiful clubs, hanging lawns, a tennis table and other amenities.

The easiest way to use pallets is to lay paths out of them on the site. Or build a staircase in the house, but here you need to take care of the strong fastening of the structure.

Here are some examples of fastening pallets to each other.

If you have a lot of free time and diligence, then the old pallets can be disassembled into planks, and then nothing will interfere with the scope of your thought. We will consider this option for using pallets next time.
