    Hey guys ive been reading all your comments. I should have been more clear in the video. Yes I am aware it's going to rot. I live in a rental and the deck was only meant to last a year before I rip it up. Also all of the wood except 4 boards came from free pallets. The only reason I'm commenting this is for the people who are loosing their minds about the rot.

    Great job! Looks Great and I agree with Gary Warren's comments: "It lasts as long as it lasts when it's free who cares. Made lots of things out of pallets and they're still around 10years later." Thanks for taking the time to do the video and share it with us. I enjoyed watching it.

    it's beautiful! A labor of love and necessity. The people freaking out have never had to struggle for anything. Sometimes you do what you can with what you have. I love it and and going to do a similar pallet deck project very soon. Two thumbs up.
    Free is always better.

    Everyone is talking about how fast it will rot. I literally had a pallet couch sitting on a concrete patio for 7 years. I replaced it with another pallet couch that I made last summer, and it was still standing at the time. The only reason I replaced it is because we had a wedding in my yard, and I made a stage out of pallets. Instead of tossing those new pallets, I decided to rebuild the couch and make it bigger.

    First I'd like to say, the deck came out pretty cool.
    Also, beautiful dogs. Especially the boxer, I have 2 girls.
    The pallets could last if you get the ones with the stamp on them meaning they're heat and termite treated. I'm a truck driver and deliver freight to the Airport and all pallets need that incase of a fire or if they go into a different country.
    And like you mention on the description, it's a $100 deck. Can't expect it to last forever lol

    My favorite part of any construction project is the family dogs wanting so badly to be part of the effort!
    When my dad and I poured our concrete driveway in 1976, my beagle wanted to "help" and ended up imprinting two of her paw marks into the concrete.
    My mom and I drove out to the old place last year and I looked for the paw prints.
    Still there.

    You had a need, made a functional version with recycled material and best off did it yourself for practically nothing. This is what DIY is all about.
    Thank you for posting this clip, this is exactly the type of projects that got me into woodworking years ago.
    I build custom pieces with all the saws, clamps, jigs, etc you'd expect in any woodworking shop catering to high end customers and have created things I could never afford...
    Having said that, I still enjoy doing diy stuff with beat to hell pallet wood just like this.
    It's not gonna age well at all compared to a $18k custom tree bench sure... But it's also not taking a master carpenter 200hrs in a fully loaded shop and a financing company to bring it to life.
    You killed it man. It really pisses me off to hear these negative ass Scrooge people in the comments attempting to diminish your work-> Fuck em.
    IDK whether or not it's an abundance of wealth or a lack of creativity and motivation these trolls have to not comprehend the practicality of building a cheap temporary item until time allows for other options, but I certainly do.
    Keep being handy and keep feeding your creative side... I'd like to see you build some cheap yard art in the same style just to keep em bitching.
    Hope you have a good one.

    So, you could put a waterproof sheet between the grass and pallets, and have it under a gazbo/ awning, so still a rad idea. Someone disposed of a pallet by the garages where I live years ago…. and I dragged it into my garden the other day to make a window flower box out of it, and it’s still in great condition after being in all weathers for years.

    @wtfu812omg 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Its worth it to buy wood sealer or even boiled linseed oil as once a few coats of that then let bake in the sun the wood hardens and has pretty good moisture barrier. If ysing free pallets you save a ton and whats a lil blood sweat n tears for your own enjoyment. My biggest issue is finding a bunch of pallets that match. I dont have a wood planer either. So basically I disassemble the pallets treat each piece with preservative then assemble. You would be surprised how many seasons you can get out of it.

    yes, yes, yes, we know that wood pallets will not last forever. I had my RV parked at a campsite that allowed month to month lease. since i only planned on being there 6 months I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a structure that would last 10 years. so this video may not be for everyone. but if that's the case, just watch a different video
