Do you have your own cottage and nowhere to put pallets? They can be beautifully decorated on the site! The article describes 5 ways to use wooden structures, as well as the main stages of preparing the product.
Often used pallets are thrown away or recycled. They can be used as good tea party fixtures, gazebos or garden decorations.
Bench
Pallets are used as benches. Those wooden structures that exceed a meter can be converted into “chairs”, and low pallets can be converted into a coffee table. From one to twelve people can sit around such an invention, and the space for mugs can be increased at any time. It is enough to add an additional pallet.
Sun lounger
Another possibility is to use a wooden pallet. At the dacha you often want to relax or sunbathe. A sun lounger is needed for these purposes! It is not difficult to make an unusual product. You need to take wooden blocks and tools (nails, hammer). Additionally, as in the previous point, you can come up with an unusual table. You can put food or drinks on it so it won't be so hot.
Decorative wall
To make such a mechanism, you will need a lot of beams and the same amount of patience. Later, floral decorations, posters are hung on pallets in a vertical position, or used as reinforcements for hoses (so that they do not fall).It is important to remember that the vertical structure is installed in the ground or on another surface. Earthen structures quickly rot and fail without the necessary treatment (varnish, sanding and lining), but are great for those who don’t have a lot of money on their hands.
Swing
To create, you will need ropes or chains. They need to be secured to the sides. The wooden pallet is very hard, so any pillows or pillowcases with filling will help increase convenience and comfort.
"Shoe maker" or "tool maker"
Unusual devices can be built for garden tools or shoes. This will require boards, nails, a hammer, and the desire to create something new. Designs for repair products are best hung on small walls. They will blend harmoniously with the atmosphere of the house. The “shoe rack” needs to be carefully processed, varnished and placed in the corridor. The number of shelves depends on the materials.
Decorating Tips
There are a total of 5 processing stages, which include:
- cleaning pallets from dirt;
- grinding the material (you can only process places where there will be contact with a person);
- surface primer;
- painting (use waterproof paints in rich colors; after a while the color will begin to fade);
- applying varnish.
It is not difficult to make an interesting design. The main thing is to use the right tools, remember safety precautions and have an idea of what should happen in the end.
In our gardening business, a man built a very nice summer house out of pallets and finished it with siding on the outside. A house is like a toy. Then he made a fence and even a bathhouse from pallets. But the pallets are not cheap.
