Absolutely amazing.. my kids and I (single mom) also work with pallets. So far we have made a bench, kitchen table, coffee table, bookshelf and next project will be garden beds. The boys learnt a lot doing these projects ☺️ I have always wanted to do a deck.. it’s so beautiful and rewarding ! Thank you for sharing ! Also, the team effort you two share is phenomenal ! Peace and Lots of Love from Alberta Canada 💕
Thank you so much Barb Ara for your kind words. We get a greater sense of accomplishment when we complete joint projects like this. Would love to see some pics of your pallet projects and good luck with your garden beds. We also have garden beds made from pallets. Canada is such a beautiful part of the world, we spent some time camping in B.C. and absolutely loved it! Thanks again for your positive feedback, we really appreciate it.
Hi there, I don"t know what I enjoyed more, your beautiful work or how wonderful you two work together
Thank you so much Evangelina, we really do appreciate your kind words. We do enjoy the fact that when we complete a project we can sit back and say '' we did this together " It is a nice sense of accomplishment. Thank you again for your support and such positive feedback.
My husband keeps talking me out of using pallet wood for a deck. Thank you for posting . There is no way he is talking me out of it come spring/ summer even if I do it without him
You're welcome @mullinsadventures9262 Glad you enjoyed the video. Good luck with your deck project! Send pics! ✌
Facts girl, I'm doing it too!
@@KayDurrant You go girl! ✌
What's the reason he doesn't want to use pallets for a deck? Thanks
@@turo3066 I'll answer for him. Simply the wood used on pallets arent pressure treated which in time WILL ROT. Pressure treated wood have chemicals on them to keep from rotting on ground/weather contact. Please keep in mind that freight vendors purchase the cheapest cost efficient wood pallets that will hold thousands of dollars worth of product. Trust me I know this working for Home Depot. These guys did a great job just skipped on a couple of important factors that would have paid off. 1. The obvious in not using pressure treated wood and 2 not tampering the ground under the pavers and putting some kind of crushed gravel or limestone as well. In time the deck will start to get "spongy" while walking on it and unleveling itself due to wood pallets starting to rot along with soft ground. Nevertheless they did a good job.
I have watched ever DIY pallet patio video made since 2020 and yours is my absolute favorite. The way you work together is so cute and your work is fabulous simplicity. As a African American woman I just love y'all Aussie folks charm
Thank you so much @KayDurrant That is so nice of you to send us such an awesome comment! We really appreciate your kind words and support! ✌
Very nice pallet deck. What is the wood slates material you used for the decking top?
@lynneboyer3197 thank you so much. We used pallet boards for the deck top.
@@kinlockskorner6862 Did you disassemble a pallet for these?
@@jenniferdawkins4279 we actually purchased a pallet load (shrinkwrapped) of pallet boards from a recycle pallet company.
Thanks guys ,i made mi deck ,with ab " plastic pellets, but i si i miss the Black cover you guys put before the concrète 12× 12, and yes its nesesarie..so to morrow am going to lift the deck and put the cover to keep the wigs under..thanks guys..
Thank you so much @Focus0culus We really appreciate your feedback. Good luck with your project. ✌
My son did this same thing and he used a torch to get the burned wood looks, then applied a coat of sealant on it. It is absolutely STUNNING!!! I think he got his creativity from his mother 😂❤ looks great, hope you all are enjoying the deck 😊
@SometimeAgo65 What a great idea, i love that look! We are definitely enjoying our deck! ✌
I thought about using pallets awhile ago. Cuts down on the base work. I decided to check out TH-cam to see if anyone was doing this. I'm going to do this using plastic palletts. I live where it gets cold and humid. Then Im going to use deck tiles on top. I can't recall what the black underlayment us. Is it the same stuff used for plant beds? Not sure if youre still in Australia, but that looks like a good place for those Huntsman spiders to live! You have some real scary critters down under!
@KAL829 sounds like a great idea! Any type of weed mat would be fine, we haven't had any evidence of the grass growing through. I actually live in S/W Missouri, but i don't have fond memories of the Huntsman, i used to freak out my sister when i would kill them with an open hand smack! Good luck with your project, sounds very cool ✌
What was your angle cut method? It looked like you just eye-balled it without precision, but the result looks perfect along the wall. Ah, I see: 7:14 to 7:29 set up to chalk line spring-slap-hit.
Thank you so much for your feedback Bon, we really appreciate you taking the time to comment on our video.
This is exactly what I was looking for. I have access to pallets but was not sure of a good technique for a much needed deck. Awesome teamwork as well. I'm the builder in the family. Hubby always thinks he'll make a mistake so I get rewarded with chocolate for all my hard work. Thank you again for this wonderful video. Be blessed ☺️
Thank you so much Chavione, we really appreciate your kind words. Good luck with your deck project and your continued supply of chocolates!
Deck turned out wonderful and I been thinking to do the same. Please please tell exactly what materials you used including the tools. Thanks. 😊
@chevonnchapman8322 the entire deck was made with pallet boards and the tools used were a circular saw, reciprocating saw, electric drills and a belt sander.
Love seeing how they work together❤️
Thank you so much @theresaboyd2161. We really appreciate your support. ✌
Love it. Thank you. Consudering decking some of my space that is on gravel.. The wood needs to be saturated with a preservative in my case. However, this would be ideal if you need for a season or occassion. For longer, strongly recommend digging out organics at each concrete spot and pouring and packing a pint of crushed stone into the earth. Consider covering the grass with a bag of diatomaceous earth to reduce wood eating insects. When things get rotted, bigger critters start to move in!
Thank you so much @ingridw3900. Good luck with your project! ✌
Did you secure your pallets to the paving stones? If not, has your decking area moved?
With the weight of the pallets as well as securing the pallet boards(deck) to the pallets we didn't feel the need to secure them to the pavers. It turned out to be a very solid structure. Thanks for asking! ✌
It’s definitely the video I was Loki g for to make my deck
I also need to make lake a top so I might need different kind of wood
And a top that will hold up Hurricane since IM in Fl but the Deck for now will do
Beautiful!! Simple!! Thanks so much inexpensive!!
Thank you so much Deanna. If you are able to get pallets cheap, it can be a very inexpensive project. Thanks again for your feedback, it is very much appreciated.
It came out great.. We've been planning on too.. I think a sponge mop would have done the staing a little easier..
Thank you so much @sandragentz9442 ✌
Great job!! You two work great together! Thank you for the inspiration
Thank you so much. We really appreciate the positive feedback. Happy to inspire people along the way. Thank you again for your support.
True Aussie, chopping up wood in the old Japanese safety boots! Great job guys, love your work!! 😊
Cheers mate! Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for your great feedback! ✌
Wish all the couples worked together like you do!!. Great teamwork!
Cheers Bassetto, we really appreciate the kind words. We feel a greater sense of accomplishment when it is a shared experience. It's nice to sit back and say "We did this together".
Great job. How many pallets total did you need to collect to complete the job? Thank you.
We used 6 chep pallets for the base/foundation and around 10 plain pallets for the deck floor and side panels. Thanks for your feedback, we really appreciate it.
Turned out amazing how many pallets did you use
Thank you so much @jeanwhiting4144. We used about 12 pallets to cover the 6 pallets we used as the base. ✌
Awesome job you guys💪. Just one question please how far apart are the pavers would you say? I can always count on amazing people to help those like myself make these awesome projects😁😁😁✌️✌️
Thanks for that Tara. The center of each paver is 48" apart, which allows both pallets to be on the one paver. This would apply to any size pallet you intend on using for your project. Plus it makes it easier to level out your pallets and ground surface by placing two pallets on the same paver. Hope this information is helpful. Good luck with your project and feel free to text back if you have any further queries. Thanks again!
Hey you two are s UK per lucky to have Level yard whenever you do a project like that
Some people have issues slopes uneven spots like tiny dips ect...
Nice work I'm aw inspired now
But cant jump the gun just yet Living with family🙂
New sub because you reminded me of me and my husband. We always work well together married 32 years now .
Thanks for that Desiree. Always nice to hear from people that have a great relationship, congrats on the 32 years!
Good job! What was the color of the stain?
Thanks @reneek8223 we used Red Mahoganey, which is our "go to" stain color for most of our projects ✌
I love it and I have a lot of pallets just sitting in my back yard , so now I’m going put them to use , thanks for the video ❤
Thank you so much Stacy. We really appreciate your kind words and positive feedback. Good luck with your project ✌️
Very nice! I’ve been looking for something quick and budget-friendly to spruce up an odd area/angle in my backyard. I’ll be back to see the end results.
Thanks very much, we're glad you enjoyed it. Good luck with your project. Let us know how it goes, we really enjoy the feedback. Thanks again.
nice
Great video
Are the top wood treated wood. ?
Yes @alexm20112012 it is treated wood plus the stain gives it added protection as well. ✌
Good job kids!! Keep it up - if you can, and if you cannot, I hear giving up is much easier.
Cheers @wizardmaster6639 I think we'll keep it up while we can! ✌
looks amazing so far!! bout to go tune in for Part Two, aka JOB'S DONE
So tell me Mrs. Kelly Arce, did you enjoy Part Two of our deck build? We would greatly appreciated your feedback. Cheers bourbon
Really great job! Now I know what to do with my stack of pallets
Thank you so much, we really appreciate your feedback. Good luck with your project!
They bitting pretty good...better around sun down
I have picked up free pallets for my floating deck. This helped as I wasn’t sure how to level. I’ll use the paver stones. Be nice if I could find those for free too lol. Thanks for the great vid.
Thank you so much
@tcaver FB Marketplace generally has some good deals. Good luck with your project ✌
You guys team work is awesome 👏 I love ❤️ it great job well done 👍🏽
Thanks so much Kim's WRLD for your kind words. We get a kick out of working together to achieve a common goal. It's really nice that someone like yourself can appreciate that fact. Thanks again for your positive feedback.

But cant jump the gun just yet Living with family🙂
Good luck with your future projects Ernestine. Hope you can find a level playing field! Sorry, that's my Australian sense of humor!
My grand daughter is building a deck using pallets. Great team work you guys did great! I'm going to get her the 5" deck staining brush for that back breaking job
Thank you so much @Connie4580. Good luck with your grand daughter's project ✌
U work so nicely together. My hubby and I use to work well together. Not anymore, he has different hacks he works on. Mine is still wood projects.
Thank you so much @patlasky-te7tz. We really appreciate the kind words and support. Good luck with your projects! ✌
Great video! I am hoping to do this myself. I am a new homeowner and tool challenged, so forgive me, but how were you two reattaching the boards to the pallets? Was it a drill to start the hole for a screw and then screwing it in with the other drill? If so, what size screws? Also, How did you get all the pallets to stay together?
Thanks Chinea. We did drill a pilot hole for the screws, this prevents the boards from splitting when screwing into the boards. We used #10 x 2 1/2" screws. The sheer weight of the pallets once butted together keeps them in place and are secured once you screw the boards into the pallets. I hope this is helpful, if not, feel free to contact me. Will be more than happy to help out if needed. Thanks again and good luck with your project. ✌
I see that you placed down plastic befor you began where did you purchase the roll how many for the square footage of your project Should be purchased?
Ernestine, here is the link to the weed mat that were purchased : amzn.to/3S3EQjP the roll is 3' x 50'
Nice job on the deck but grass and weeds will grow through it unless you removed them completely before hand.
You're right Hector, slight oversight on my part.
I have been wanting to do a pallet deck build for awhile now. It was nice to see the process. Thanks.
Thank you @safeathomestead9217 for your kind words and support. We really appreciate it. ✌
Yaaass honey I love it and I have been brain frozen for a year now trying to figure out an easy way to do mine and thanks to you guys you just helped in a major way ❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much @latoyajones6490. Glad we were able to inspire you. Good luck with your project! ✌
i love it thank youi
Thank you so much @CreativeFishDesignsCharlotte We really appreciate your great feedback ✌
That looks so good, u guys did a great job
Thank you so much A.B, we really appreciate your kind kinds and positive feedback ✌
This is the perfect video thank you for posting this. And them blue pallets are rented. Lol
You're welcome @donniewiggs8749. You're right! At $2 each! ✌
So inspiring thank you both from New Zealand.
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Wonderful job. Very inspiring DIY!!! Thumbs Up
Thank you so much B L C SCOTT, we really appreciate the positive feedback. We are so happy when we can inspire people to have a go at DIY projects. Thanks again!
I like the looks of this better than my husband wants to get I would but I like yours better thank you for your video
Thank you so much @barbarastefani254 for your kind words and support. We really appreciate it! ✌
How about the grass underneath? Can I place vigaro blocker?
@jessiecacho we laid weed mat down and haven't seen any grass. Vigaro Blocker would work great. We used that in our garden. ✌
Love this idea.
I live in the uk alot of rain. I remember a friend using this idea but in the winter it was so so slippery. Have you any ideas to tackle the slippery deck. Im moving into my forever home very soon and would love having ago at this if i can find a way to stop it getting so slippery when the weather is bad.
❤
Thanks you so much @babebabe4. One idea that comes to mind is before you apply your last layer of poly, you could brush a layer of fine sand with a broom then apply poly over that surface. Just a thought.Either way, good luck with your project & stay dry! ✌
Nice video, a few niggles though as we would like to have seen how you connected all the pallets together and how you connected it to the base.maybe to much hyperlapse lol
All the pallets are connected by all the pallet boards that run diagonally across the pallets as shown in the video. We didn't feel the need to connect each pallet individually as the amount of screws connecting all the pallet boards to the pallets is more than enough. Believe me this deck is definitely secure.
Simple, and beautiful ,
Congrats.
Thank you so much @diegoandresterzaga4380 ✌
Looks amazing! I will do mine just lke this!❤
Thank you so much @memeharrison4989 We really appreciate your kind words and support. Good luck with your deck project ✌
What's used to waterproof the deck? In central MO and whew the rain is coming
Check out DIY pallet deck (part2) We show the product we used to waterproof the deck.
Looks like they're pretty fond if pallets, the fence looks like pallets too. Great idea
Thank you so much @msmedy71. We do love our pallets! ✌
OMG you DID THAT!,,👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank you so much @carladickey4360 ✌
thanx
You're welcome @larrypahl5756 ✌
I just bought pallets nine of them how many pavers do i have to get 32?
@leenad.9784 you would only need 16 pavers, (4 rows of 4 pavers) for 9 pallets, (3 rows of 3 pallets)
you both work so good together and i love this video..subscribed too
Thank you so much
@archerj47. We really appreciate your kind words and support. Thank you for subscribing! ✌
This is amazing! Great job! This definitely gave me some incentive to do this!! I love it!!

That came together nicely! Great build!
Thank you so much @jaredmcquiniff6174 We really appreciate your kind words and positive feedback ✌
This was fantastic got my ideas mow😊😊😊
Thank you so much @sheilathompson6752 Good luck with your project! ✌
He top planks are removed from pallets or are purchased wood planks?
We purchased these as is, from a local dealer. The top planks are just pallet wood we pulled off other pallets.
Exelent work guys, cograts
Thank you so much Ramon. We really appreciate your support ✌
Love the deck! How did you make the pallet fence?
Thanks Katherine. I dug out a trench and laid the pallets (66 in total) on their sides giving it that picket fence look. Each pallet was attached with a metal cleat (they are metal plate about 3"x 2" with spikes on the underside) The cleats are shown in the DIY pallet deck video. Each pallet also has a 2' long pallet board hammered into the ground where the pallets butt up to each other and screwed into the pallets for added support. This was done on both sides of the fence (inside and outside) I hope this information was helpful for you and thanks again for your feedback, we really appreciate it.
Paint deck with soft floor brush, easier.
Good idea!
Absolutely Love The Teamwork 🥰
Thank you so much Ladi London, we really appreciate your support and positive feedback ✌
@@kinlockskorner6862 YW
Looking forward too your next video 😊
Thank you so much @sandrabrisbin2383 ✌
Great, cost effective idea. Look forward to watching part 2.
We definitely consider costs when we take on new projects. Thanks for your feedback, we really appreciate it.
Awesome video! How long do you expect the deck to stay intact for ?
@justinoyebanji6553, dare i say deck-ades!
@@kinlockskorner6862 🤣😂brilliant!
? Is i TY strudy enough for table set. Out door
It sure is. Check out our video on "DIY foot stools" and you'll see what we have on the deck.
For the top did you say that is pallet board? Is that pallets that have been broken down?
That's correct Gloria, i purchased 400 pallet boards from a company for $50. The company sells them shrinkwrapped to a pallet which stands about 6' tall. So that's a lot of pallets i didn't have to break down. For $50, i thought it was worth it.
@@kinlockskorner6862 I enjoyed watching your DIY. I’m currently building one. What company did you buy your pallet boards from? Thanks a lot for sharing! 😊
@@momofnoah07 thank you so much for your feedback. I went to a small recycling company in Joplin Missouri. If i recall i think the name was Triple R Recycling. Good luck with your deck!
What are the dimensions of the planks for the top please?
They are standard pallet boards 48" long
Hi, nice work. Where did you buy the pallets and how much does it cost for each?
Thanks Helen. We bought the Chep pallets for $3 each from our local grocery store. We also bought a pallet load of pallet slats (4' x 4' x 6') which equated to approximately 400 slats, from a Pallet Company we found on FB Marketplace. Those 400 slats cost us $50, which was quite reasonable when you consider how many pallets you would have to break down. Glad you enjoyed our project!
@@kinlockskorner6862 thanks for the quick response..did you get it from walmart?
@@helenmeneses6822 No, there is a small grocery store nearby. You can check on Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist in your area for pallets.
What did you use for the top? Just deck boards? You did not mention, just went at it.. looks great and giving me some good ideas
We used pallet boards
@@kinlockskorner6862so you two dismantled a bunch of other pallets to reclaim the boards? I am looking at doing a 20’x13’ deck out of pallets, no idea how many I would need to take apart to have enough deck boards
@@derek5 i bought a pallet(shrinkwrapped) of pallet boards already dismantled from a local pallet co. But to give you a rough estimate, an average pallet is approximately 4' x 4'. So going by your dimensions, you'll need around 18-20 pallets unless you find a place like i did that sell pallets of pallet boards. Hope this helps with your project ✌
Hi I have a question did you guys use treated wood?
The pallet boards were heat treated.
How big is it ?
LOL. They used blue pallets. Those belong to Chep.
You do some amazing work!!
Thank you so much @misslayle. We really appreciate you kind words! ✌
What type of wood is used on top of the Pallets?
@JimmyJohnson-nq3tg treated pallet boards
Love it Thank you for the idea
You are welcome, we are so glad you enjoyed the video. Good luck with your project ✌
Where did you get the top boards from?
From a recycle pallet company. They sell pallet boards by the pallet(shrinkwrapped). They are a local company about 40 minutes from our house.
Awesome job, 👏🏿👍🏿
Terry Shears thank you for support and positive feedback. We really appreciate it! ✌
Loving the teamwork
Thank you so much @Independent.Consultant ✌
This is awesome I can do this

Thank you so much Johnnie Pegues
? Where do you find pallet at
We picked them up at a pallet company in Joplin MO. They have pallets of used pallet boards for sale there.
❤❤❤ Super 👍👍👍🇫🇷
Thanks so much for your support and feedback. We really appreciate it! ✌
I love you pallet fence also,you two are self efficient 👍,great job,you two
Thank you so much Angela. The main reason i built the fence was to have a secured area for Jaz to run around. It took 69 pallets to form the perimeter of our side yard which Susie can confirm as she spray painted every pallet. Thanks again for your kind words, we really appreciate it.
Wow 69 pallets amazing,congratulations on a amazing job to you both!!!!! Looks beautiful!
@@angelapeer2494 Thank you so much, we love the positive feedback and if we can inspire people along the way, then even better.
@@angelapeer2494 Thank you so much, we love to hear such positive and kind feedback from people like yourself.
when its gonna rain all the wood will rot
We built this deck two years ago with treated pallet boards which were stained and sealed. They have held up extremely well with no signs of rotting.
This turned out amazing!
Thanks so much, we really appreciate the positive feedback and are so glad you enjoyed it.
Looks wonderful!
Thank you so much! ✌
