I'm currently will be building chicken pens out of pallets. Pulling the boards are such a hassle, especially when the nails have ridges, & heads that break off easily.
There are definitely challenges to building stuff with pallet wood. Those spiral pallet nails are a pain to pry up. When you break off a nail head, then you have another issue to deal with as well. I don't know how far you have read in this thread, but I have mentioned a number of tools that I find very useful in pallet breakdowns. If you have any particular concerns with pallet breakdowns, let me know and I'll either post/repost what info on tools I have that work for me.
Lots of people prefer to use full pallets so they don't have to breakdown the wood. I'm all for that, too. I would love to see your pallet chicken pens when you build them. Or, if you are like me, maybe you found inspiration online and maybe you could post a link to an idea that you like before you actually do the build.
