Wanted to ask any issues with animals rodents? Just curious i saw in another channel kinda same idea gazebo but some one mentioned its a paradise for animals just wondering since im really contemplating doing this DIY. Thank you
Hello. First love the video, watched it like 20 times. I am looking to do the exact same but 3 times bigger. Following the same logic to use 12’ boards to minimize the cutting. How is the deck holding up after 8 months? You mention putting the boards together but not exactly show or talking about how you did it. And I believe in the beginning of the video there were stakes with your materials but you don’t mention using them. Did you use the same decking screws on the sides that you used for the top boards?
Deck is in same shape as built. I added more screws after video was posted. Same screws around the whole deck. If u want use longer screws. The stakes were use to frame the grass removal area as well as pin the pallets in the space I wanted while I screws them together and added the 1st few planks.
Hey bud thank you for sharing. Is what I was looking for. I just have a big question for you, do you think pallets will last long in winter time, specially in snowy states ? Thank you man!!!
I honestly do not know about cold climates but they sure as hell hold up through tropical weather. High heat and lots of rain with no issues. My rule of thumb is if you see pallets that sit outside of stores during this type of weather than they should be OK. Otherwise build it with pressure treated wood from scratch. Hope this helps.
Yes it is feasible but ALOT more work. Not all pallets are in great condition to break down and use making me have to get even more pallets. I considered that as well but didn't want to spend the time as I would rather finish sooner and spend that time difference with my family.
Hi.. Im interested to look how u build ur deck. Juz wanna know r u in Malaysia? Coz there's banana trees, coconut trees, n also Astro at ur neighbourhood's rooftop ☺️😍😂
Y’all did that!!!! One thing. Maybe put some hardware cloth or something around the sides so that rodents don’t make a condo under that cool as ground deck!!! I’m doing this!!!! Lol 😂
Excellent video. Was really helpful as I try and build my own pallet deck! Hopefully you can address some questions I have. How did you attach the pallets to each other? Did you space the top boards at all or just placed them right next to each other ? I noticed you screwed the edge of the top boards through the side boards what is the benefit of doing it that way compared to screwing the top of edge boards (if this makes sense sorry if it doesn’t haha) ?
The base would be stronger if u alternated the directions of each pallet. Hopefully u screwed each pallet together too. Hopefully u left an 8th inch or 16th inch gap between the boards for drainage.
Alternating the pallets would've changed the measurements as they are not squared. All of the pallets are screwed together to form 1 big square. Yes a small space was left between each board not just for drainage but for expanding during different weather.
Thank you! As I have seen pallets left outside for long periods of time fully exposed for long periods of time. Mine are wrapped around with pressure treated boards as well as a gazebo to help with shade. The pallets also sit on a weed barrier and sit on pavers so the pallets to not sit on the ground and only exposed between the cracks of the boards. With that being said I DO NOT have any concerns of the pallets rotting. At least for my particular build and setup.
Thank you for the video, I noticed you built the deck 3 years ago and I was wondering how is holding on? I want to build a deck and AI suggest me to use joists but I want to use pavers instead. Thanks
so today i bought nine pallets the same size and wondered how big my deck will be thanks now i know!. how did you attach the pallets together? this looks wonderful!!
GREAT idea! The pallets save you a lot of money in timber. Love this!! You guys look great, a wonderful team effort, which is nice to see. I am looking forward to seeing your other videos. Thank you for the inspiration.
We did this last year but we used plastic pallets as our base vs wood. That way it will never rot away or break down. 60x12 completely changed our out door living space and makes a great conversation piece for friends and family.
Fantastic tutorial !!! And I have to agree , warped boards can definitely throw a wrench into things ... Sometimes you can water pop the lumber to assist in unwarping it ... Simply saturate til soaked , then place 1-2 cinder blocks on the warped end with the level end secured . (SpongeBob voice) " Several Hours Later" the warp should of diminished to a less noticable state ... Either way y'all did a jaw dropping job on this patio !!! Can't wait to see more crafty creations from y'all !!!
I has been a full month now and the deck hasn't moved. after I placed the paver base, I put the pavers on and wiggled it to pad the base down with some pressure to get it firm and since the pallets are screwed together making it one big piece, its a good combined weight that evenly distributed. Check out the gazebo we put over it.
The pallets don't touch the ground. All corners of each pallet sit on paver sand and a 12x12 concrete stepping stone. So the pallets should be just fine as they are mostly covered in pressure treated and waterproof stain deck planks.
2 1/2" Spax outdoor screws were used. The narrative is the visual. Thank you for the flattering comment. If you have any additional questions I am willing to answer.
If you have the tools already, roughly $500. Most of it is the pressure treated lumber. Cost of tools will vary on if you have a drill, sander, saw, etc. If you a home owner, buy good tools as they will last you a looooong time
This is freakin awesome!!!! Great job!!!! Major inspiration to my next project that will follow the example you have given! Thank you both so much for sharing!!! Best of luck!

Very, very, very respectfully, I just wanted to say: DAYUM!!!!!!
💀
Lmfao
3 years later, how's the deck doing?
Solid. This is the best one I've seen. Picked up our palettes today, gonna be using this as my reference. Y'all did that!! 🙌🏼
Love to see girls also can do it !!!!good job guys 🥰🥰🥰🥰
2 years later. How's it holding up?
Some boards have a little warp on the ends but still very solid. Thanks for the followup 🙂
That smile at the end of each segment is funny! Great job!!!!
My father in law and I just put together a 6 pallet deck and these instructions were super helpful! Appreciate the video 👍🏼
What size boards deck boards did you use? I'm using 6 pallets as well
Wanted to ask any issues with animals rodents? Just curious i saw in another channel kinda same idea gazebo but some one mentioned its a paradise for animals just wondering since im really contemplating doing this DIY. Thank you
No issues asides the usual ants and lizards. I used more paver sand to fill in the spaces around the gaps.
I love when you guys stop-- and smile into the camera. Sooooo Cute 😁😁 Oh....... and GREAT job on the deck. 👍

You guys are a fantastic team !! Great job , it turned out amazing.
My husband and I are redoing our backyard. I love this idea of a pallet patio deck! Awesome job!
One of THE BEST pallet deck builds I've seen thus far. Might I day that using the same type of pallet makes for a better fit.
Agreed.
Hey bud thank you for sharing. Is what I was looking for. I just have a big question for you, do you think pallets will last long in winter time, specially in snowy states ? Thank you man!!!

What is the thing you guys have going around the gate......what's the name...and where do you get something like that
Its Privacy screen for fence. I comes on a roll with grommet holes to zip tie to fence. Comes in different length and colors on amazon.
How many decking boards did you use
About 25 pieces give or take, including the pieces for the sides
Leveling out my yard will be the issue 😣😣
Move dirt around from other areas of the yard and use long pies of wood to drag along the area while damp to assist with leveling.
And, two...question...what about removing wood from other pallets, using that instead of buying new wood. Tight budget. Is this feasible?
Yes it is feasible but ALOT more work. Not all pallets are in great condition to break down and use making me have to get even more pallets. I considered that as well but didn't want to spend the time as I would rather finish sooner and spend that time difference with my family.
Love this team work
Thanks guys ❤️
Wish I had someone to work together doing things to my house!
You will find your handy helper. Stay positive and look on the Sunnyside of life :)
I feel ya!
Great job 👍 you inspired me to build my own.
Super happy to hear that. It will be well worth it!
How much do you think this cost and how much do you think you saved using pallets instead of a footing type deck?
Cost was approx. 250-300 for deck board, sealer, under deck prep, etc. And cost of using free pallets.... well....
That is some of the best sanding I’ve ever seen ❤😉
Hi.. Im interested to look how u build ur deck. Juz wanna know r u in Malaysia? Coz there's banana trees, coconut trees, n also Astro at ur neighbourhood's rooftop ☺️😍😂
U.S. and you are very observant.
U guys are so cute n awesome 🙏🏻🌞🌻🥰
Definitely enjoyed this build 💯👊🏽 Came out great, and really inexpensive. Keep up the good work and videos 👏🏽👍🏽
Appreciate the support
Y’all did that!!!! One thing. Maybe put some hardware cloth or something around the sides so that rodents don’t make a condo under that cool as ground deck!!! I’m doing this!!!! Lol 😂
Agreed! Added more rocks around the side to fill the gaps but due to rain it has to be touched up again.
This was exactly the vid I needed! Great job guys !! Thanks for posting this very easy to follow guide 👍👍👊👊
Damn! The wife is one hot woman
I really liked video have watched it a few times… the gravel on the one side is that for structure or decoration
The white rocks are for decoration. The gravel sand is to weigh the weed barrier on the edges.
Excellent video. Was really helpful as I try and build my own pallet deck! Hopefully you can address some questions I have. How did you attach the pallets to each other? Did you space the top boards at all or just placed them right next to each other ? I noticed you screwed the edge of the top boards through the side boards what is the benefit of doing it that way compared to screwing the top of edge boards (if this makes sense sorry if it doesn’t haha) ?
You two are so cute! Love ur smiles 🤩
OUTSTANDING, thanks for sharing
2:12 🤣😂😅
WOW 😯 GREAT TEAM WORK AMAZING results 😉👍🏼👍🏼
What size are the boards that you're using on the sides?
Same boards, just cut the 2 10ft sides down to keep it consistent.
The base would be stronger if u alternated the directions of each pallet. Hopefully u screwed each pallet together too. Hopefully u left an 8th inch or 16th inch gap between the boards for drainage.
Alternating the pallets would've changed the measurements as they are not squared. All of the pallets are screwed together to form 1 big square. Yes a small space was left between each board not just for drainage but for expanding during different weather.
This has to be the fastest & easiest pallet deck I've ever seen. It's a great job
......And 3 kids later.....finish deck lol 😂 nice job looks great my guy
THANK YOU! Guys as this is what I want to do to save money. How is it holding up? Yall r cute too and love that I ground pool!
Great job! Do you have any concerns of the pallets rotting quickly? I don’t think you’re treated in any way.
Thank you! As I have seen pallets left outside for long periods of time fully exposed for long periods of time. Mine are wrapped around with pressure treated boards as well as a gazebo to help with shade. The pallets also sit on a weed barrier and sit on pavers so the pallets to not sit on the ground and only exposed between the cracks of the boards. With that being said I DO NOT have any concerns of the pallets rotting. At least for my particular build and setup.
My husband and I plan on building a deck like this really soon
Thank you for the video, I noticed you built the deck 3 years ago and I was wondering how is holding on? I want to build a deck and AI suggest me to use joists but I want to use pavers instead. Thanks
It's never been so much fun watching someone use a sander.
nice job. this is something we are looking to do, I just know with the price of wood will cost a bit
Its hit or miss on the varying price of lumber and location. But its cheaper than it was a year ago.
so today i bought nine pallets the same size and wondered how big my deck will be thanks now i know!. how did you attach the pallets together? this looks wonderful!!
GREAT idea! The pallets save you a lot of money in timber. Love this!! You guys look great, a wonderful team effort, which is nice to see. I am looking forward to seeing your other videos. Thank you for the inspiration.
Thank you for the kind words and support.
I couldn't take my eyes off that beautiful , Lord.. whew... what hottie! Thanks dude need to watch again!
Awesome. How did you tie the pallets together and what did you use?
I screwed all contact points of each pallets with the the same deck screws. No particular order just making the pallets become 1 large pallet.
No need for the vulgar moves
LOL
Wow looks so nice! I'm looking to do this at our rental. We live in Arizona and our backyard is all rocks 😕 but this looks so good! 😀
No grass makes the 1st half of the project that much easier. :) Hope yours comes out beautiful!
For a second I’m like waitttt what kind of video did I click on 😆 hot momma!
Just looking how to do decking cheap and easy thanks I will be doing it like this
2 questions. What did yall use to fasten the pallets together and how does it feel when walking on it stability wise?
Awesome job!
Probably going to use this for a deck outside of my backyard shed and work it around my firepit!
Glad to hear. A square fire pit will make for a easier build with minimal cuts.
Wow!!!
What a great job you both did!!!
Thank you for sharing!!
Thanks for the support
Great video thanks for the inspiration!
U guys are funny! Great job!!
If you were to try to bounce a Basketball would it work with this? trying to build my husband a basketball area
Wow looks amazing how did you secure the pallets together so they don’t move ? Thank as
I loved the smiles on your faces 😊and the deck looks very good!
what a great job and very inspiring! I wanna see the whole thing put together with gazebo!!!! lol
I agree what a waste of time to undo old planks and by the way that's the sexiest assistant I've ever seen
Wonderful Job. Can you both come and do one for me. Lololol
wanted to see how you attached the pallets together
No particular order, atleast 5 of the same deck screws on all sides that touched to form 1 big piece. Hold the form and balance of the full deck.
Are those pallets treated?
NO. Just your usual pallets
What area n Florida. Nice neighborhood , Also was it easy to get the blocks level? Thanks
A 4ft level and 2 bricks at a time. Not easy but time consuming. South Florida where its hot and rains.
Her spraying set me off! LOL super cute! Love the patio deck. Thanks for video
Still had to buy timber. Defeats the purpose of doing a pallet build
How many deck boards did you use?
Thanks for this video. I have rottweiler pups and I was going concrete for floor in the kennels. I like this idea better.
Glad we can help. Thanks for the view!
Are you a DIY'r. Let me know what project you've done and if you found this helpful.

Nice work, in the process of doing a patio deck out of pallets and composite boards as my layover
We did this last year but we used plastic pallets as our base vs wood. That way it will never rot away or break down. 60x12 completely changed our out door living space and makes a great conversation piece for friends and family.
Agreed. Slap a nice patio set on it and enjoy that yard!
Did you put wood on top of your plastic pallets? I’m going to use plastic pallets as well, but can find a video on plastic pallets everybody use wood!
Replying so I can look, too!
did you use exterior grade 1x6x12 wood ( PT)
Yes, they were about $9 each plank but I dint need to many cuts because it was the exact size i needed.
👍👍👍👍👍
Was or cheaper using boards vs plywood on floor
Well done. Came out nice. 👍
love this video working on my this weekend
This guy must have a huge deck
Dayum.
You know.
Fantastic tutorial !!!
And I have to agree , warped boards can definitely throw a wrench into things ... Sometimes you can water pop the lumber to assist in unwarping it ... Simply saturate til soaked , then place 1-2 cinder blocks on the warped end with the level end secured .

Either way y'all did a jaw dropping job on this patio !!! Can't wait to see more crafty creations from y'all !!!
Why does this look like my neighborhood? 😆
Wouldn’t the paver base shift underneath the pavers after finishing?
I has been a full month now and the deck hasn't moved. after I placed the paver base, I put the pavers on and wiggled it to pad the base down with some pressure to get it firm and since the pallets are screwed together making it one big piece, its a good combined weight that evenly distributed. Check out the gazebo we put over it.
Awesome deck I need one of those good project to build. Thank you for sharing.
Totally good team work! Me and my kids enjoyed video. Not a fan of the music, great video
Appreciated the comment. Glad you enjoyed the video with your family and hope it encouraged you to DIY.
Oh yeah good job looks great
Maybe i missed it, did you seal the pallets?
The palets are not treated to be on the ground, so a few years from now your deck will be getting away..... Right???
The pallets don't touch the ground. All corners of each pallet sit on paver sand and a 12x12 concrete stepping stone. So the pallets should be just fine as they are mostly covered in pressure treated and waterproof stain deck planks.
Great video. How did you connect all the pallets (especially the inside corners?). Thank you.
The same 2.5" deck screws, I placed about 4-6 screws to all touching sides to make it 1 big piece
You never said anything about the size of screws,Very little narrative on how to do it just watching you and Bambi and fast forward was terrible
2 1/2" Spax outdoor screws were used. The narrative is the visual. Thank you for the flattering comment. If you have any additional questions I am willing to answer.
A BBC TV show called
I like the energy
Nice teamwork! I am inspired!
Nice job. Total cost?
If you have the tools already, roughly $500. Most of it is the pressure treated lumber.
Cost of tools will vary on if you have a drill, sander, saw, etc.
If you a home owner, buy good tools as they will last you a looooong time
Allah bless you and your family
That came out so good! Makes me want to build one but my land isn’t so flat and it shifts a lot :(
Make a deck on the highest point and use steps for the evenness.
do you have a detailed list of supplies
💯 🔥 👀
This is freakin awesome!!!! Great job!!!! Major inspiration to my next project that will follow the example you have given! Thank you both so much for sharing!!! Best of luck!
Where did you purchase the wood sheets
My local Home Depot. At the time there were no wood shortage. Now.... I would say hold off on wood projects till the wood drought it over.
Best vid ive seen. You actually explain what your doing
