Nice use of pallets

[mikedavis5671]

Find some free used motor oil from nearby garages and stain the wood with it. Twice the life for a little extra work.

Of course, I understand we are forced to compromise at the present, on many things. The interesting question to me on that, is if people are secretly happy they are forced to compromise... but since what we are considering is sustainability, I think we will be forced to get this sorted out eventually.

fences are for farmers philandering with the future

[donHooligan]

sweet.

[EKWisner]

That's a lot of pallets. Makes sense near a big city, but only if you are a keen scrapper.

[willworkforfro]

that would be an awesome idea!!!

[gbell12]

Unfortunately many pallets are treated with dangerous anti-fungal compounds. You'll note that in five years there's no rot, no lichen, no algae... not sure what leaches into the soil from that. Maybe won't matter. Wouldn't do hulgelkulture with them.

@gbell12 Here in the US, I hear that the palettes are marked as HT for heat treated (safe) or MB for Methyl bromide (not safe) I use the HT type for fire wood at my home and am planning on doing a raised bed/Hulgelkulture set up with them soon.

So, if I had like five times the number of pallets, I could use this type of setup for a paddock shift? Just remove one pallet and let all the critters into the next paddock.

Thanks Paul.

Of course a huge ogre of a guy can budge an old pallet fence. Just calm down and let the wise woman talk.

[dotnetogre]

awesome

This fence reminds me of the old joke: I built the stone wall so wide so if someone knocks it over, it's taller than when they started.

[nerdmom920]

In the process of dismantling retired pallets for cold frames. I'll remember this for when I get animals.

[msribin2002]

Awesome idea! Great recycling!

[HotSauceJohnny]

I've always wanted to make something for my dogs out of pallets. The way she set them would be perfect for little kennels.

[smilewait4flash]

Awesome! I did this sort of thing but made a 3 stage compost system.

[SuzyB1988]

Great way to put retired pallets to use! Not to mention a cheap and sturdy fence.

[NewJura]

Paul you must tell people about pallets dipped in MB (Methyl Bromide)!! only use HT (Heat Treated) for homes, pets and hugelkulture, the pallets are stamped MB and HT!!

[smilewait4flash]

@NewJura How would one tell a difference?

[NewJura]

@smilewait4flash look on the 2x4 material for a stamp it will have either MB or HT.

[glockman1727ak47]

@NewJura where would it be on the pallet too? if you can't post a video. Thanks.

[jaymeez]

Man that is thinking outside of the box, Thanks for sharing>!

[MrRob5001]

Thanks for the video Paul. Cool stuff.

[LakeCountryFireworks]

You know, I'm a professional fence installer, ......"I like it!" Be careful of the remnant metal rusted nails, etc. but overall I question status quo anything and this makes sense to me in some applications.

[Redshift21]

This put a smile on my face on a Wednesday morning : )

[glockman1727ak47]

That is a Fantastic idea! are pallets good for Hugelkulture? Any thing to worry about that way?

[paulwheaton12]

@glockman1727ak47 just lots of nails/staples

[pauluminous]

@glockman1727ak47

As "NewJura" pointed out some pallets are treated with Methyl Bromide!



[amberb57]

Heavy duty fence!

[BikeManDan1]

I like this design, very simple and easy
