DIY: Reclaimed Pallet Plate Rack

DIY: Reclaimed Pallet Plate Rack

A great use for reclaimed shipping pallets from German designer Katrin Arens, who uses “materials from derelict country houses, cellars, and carpentry studios” in her designs.

Great idea. I'm making a bench out of 2 pallets for my front porch.

It looks great - but a bit too rustic for me.

I had a friend of mine that built himself a huge storage shed out of pallets and it looked like he bought a shed when he was finished. He also had a green house this way as well where he added windows.

Wow..........! Unique way to make things BOLD looking and also if you ever move, you already have a pallet to put your packed boxes on.

I revamped my garden and made staging for my pots, big and small, out of pallets, and covered them in a coloured plastic, they really brightened up the place.I had to cut them in half, so I had 4 different levels.
