Wooden Pallets- Great for Upcycling | Projects DIY

There are so many projects that you can make from wooden pallets. Why not get some yard furniture made for this summer?  Put up a simple bike rack. Need a vertical garden?

As with any building materials, use common sense when working with the pallets.  Gloves, safety glasses, particle masks when you are sanding, a good sealing paint or stain. 


Here is a simple way to make a bike rack and cost effective. Set them up this way and if you need more stabilization, just nail or screw a few places where the 2 meet.

Or, make a sweet vertical garden.

Here's a perfect coffee table for the deck.
