Well guess who is now the proud owner of a $11 magnet sweeper from Harbor Freight! I didn't know this genius contraption existed and we conveniently found ourselves near a Harbor Freight today, so I had to try it. I had the most fun 20 minutes rolling around the yard and found a shameful amount...

I've learned to love it, just because it is so easy! Especially when you can just nail the board on with the same nails already in it. There are many imperfections with it but it has proven to be very functional on the shed and the compost don't care. I was thinking the same thing with the...

Thank you all! I love being able to share this work with like-minded pallet people! I did have one last pallet project today, redesigning my compost bins to better suit my materials and climate. All leaves and other organic material now go into the chicken run for a deep litter composting system...

The pallet shed is officially done! It took 3 full days to build and hang the doors because nothing is square, but we got them to be functional. A small cinder block is used to keep the bottom of the doors flush with the frame to help prevent critters from squeezing inside. We were quick to...

I am quite proud to say the pallet shed has survived a tropical storm! We had wind gusts up to 90mph with tons of rain, and the shed did not budge or leak except for a single loose screw on the roof. I was concerned the gaps between the overlapping boards would allow water to seep in but even...

Lots more progress on the pallet shed in the past couple mornings - all sides have been sided and the roof is almost ready to tie in! I'm loving the look of the pallet slats, but as we all know, pallets are far from perfect so there are some gaps between the overlapping slats. I believe there is...

100% like you! The wait-and-see has come back to haunt me several times, almost always during a winter storm, but it helps me learn! The top and bottom pallets I just screwed together the touching 2x4s with 3" screws - so far it's very sturdy especially once the door was framed, and when the...

You'll probably really like the A-frame pavilion made in this thread for the same reasons! I also built a pallet A-frame for my goats to play on - we don't get much snow but it has held up well to a couple 50+ pound goats sleeping and bouncing off of it. Attached is an older picture when it was...

Thank you!! Doubling up is definitely the way to go! I used pallets for my goats' shelter and its just one row of pallets with a slanted roof so I can walk halfway in, but I'm always hitting my head in the middle. I think I read it's better to stack the pallets so the 2x4 supports are vertical...

Thank you! So far it is matching the vision in my head! Absolutely, I'm excited to share this journey and see how everything goes with this. I looked at some other pallet shed builds but I'm mostly winging it, so I will likely run into problems! I would much rather have the slats fitted...

I love pallets, and I love this thread! A winery right down the road from us has tons of free pallets which we've been collecting for a while, with the intent of building a shed for hay and other storage. In keeping with the free theme I wanted to find one of those metal sheds people are always...
