Yeah, that looks like the backend of my old 1998 Ford Explorer coming back from a trip to town. I almost always check out my favorite places that have free pallets to pick up. I really like that cargo strap idea to hold down the pallets. I'll have to check my Explorer to see if it has some place to attach a strap. That looks much safer than me just stacking everything up in the back.
The best thing about making your own pallet wood raised beds is that you can make them any height you want.
I met an older couple last year that was making pallet wood raised beds out of complete pallets at 42 inches tall by just screwing 4 pallets together. The wife recently had hip surgery and was unable to bend over at all. Using the full pallet height was their solution to continue to enjoy gardening given her challenges.
I make my 4X4 foot pallet wood raised beds 16 inches high, which works best for me. Here is a picture of my pallet wood raised bed v2.0 which I really like...

I call it my v2.0 because there are a number of improvements that I learned how to build into my original pallet wood raised beds to make them stronger and last longer. If you are interested in how (and why) I build my pallet wood raised beds with this new design, you can find detailed discussions and photos in the thread
Show Me Your Pallet Projects!.
Of course, there are many other projects and photos of what members have done with pallets on that thread. I would really appreciate it if you could stop by there on that thread and upload a few pictures of your pallet wood raised bed project and tell us about it. Best wishes.
Thanks for the shoutout,
@Sally PB. Appreciate your continued support. Talk to you later.
