Great job, glad it turned out well for you. Thanks for watching. Please check out our latest pallet planter "how to", its a tall companion to go with this planter.
OK sooo love this idea......Got my Pallet this morn, heading to get screws n nails...... Making a Cactus Planter and cant wait to do it....TY for the idea & Instructions! (63 yrs young- lady, whos just got her first power tools ) :)
The brilliance is in the simplicity. Absolutely great idea on a number of levels. Repurpose, weather proofed material, conservation and shit even I can make these. Starting this coming weekend. Hats of to you bro. Keep up the great work!
Nice job 👍 not complicated, simple. I should be able to do this for next spring. Tired of bending over for long periods of time in the garden. Thanks for your video and sharing 👍
Hello. Thank you for making this video. I made it. The instructions where clear. I did make it a bit different, as i was using a different pallet. Ps: it takes longer than you think :)
Nice design, might steal it. Made some a little different myself. Longest part of the process was removing the nails. I admit I cheated and cut along the outside and just had to remove the middle nails from the inside board
Make sure the pallet is HEAT TREATED and NOT treated with METHYL BROMIDE. if the pallet is stamped with a HT, or KD (kiln dried) you’ll be fine. If you can’t find a stamp or it is stamped MB, avoid using it.
Hi Archie, good comment and thanks for highlighting that issue. Almost all pallets are heat treated as required for ispm 15 standards. I see that you are in Canada so I can't say that all Canadian pallets are produced in this way, however in Europe and UK they are all heat treated. Here is a link to a site with info about ispm15 standard which includes a list of countries which "officially" comply with it. associated-pallets.co.uk/what-we-do/guide-ispm15/
@@ourkilkennyhomestead2006 I have used some pallets for home use and we have seen some creep in from other areas so that’s why I mentioned it.

@@ArchieInRealLife thanks Archie, you'll be happy to hear that I have a vid coming up about building a similar unit from pallets which use bracer boards. 😉
Great video; I am unclear the area of stacking, did you use just used two small woods in the opposite direction and did drill that will help the stacking three boxes or do we need to use glue? Please suggest. Thank you.
Hi what was the size of the pallet used? Otherwise very clear cut video. Thank you. Any ideas for an easy pallet fence to keep out "things from my yard, 2 & 4 legged kind". Thanks again😊
A good quality weatherproof woodstain. In this country we have a product called "Ronseal Fencelife" I have found it to be very long lasting and protects the wood in damp conditions.
Sorry to hear, thats dissapointing. The pallets can be tricky, picking the right pallets and finding every nail is not as straight forward as it can seem. Dont give up though, find more pallets and try again. Free timber is the best timber!
Hello, with pallet wood it's usually warped a little meaning there's gaps between the planks. If you're lucky enough to get a pallet with straight planks then you can leave small gaps or you can drill extra holes to suit your needs.
Yes we do have both, but a regular hammer is too light, my mechanics hammer works better. Having stripped hundreds of pallets we've learned faster ways to do things.
Used pallets to decorate your walls. I can’t recommend using them when they’re in contact with food sources. They are heavily treated with toxic chemicals.
These dont work for long use the soil just washes out the gaps then they rot and fall apart after a year you have to double up everything you do over lapping oposite ways to ensure the soil stays in and it lasts longer then 10 years
@@freshleap unless your only planning on growing flowers you should be okay but bigger plants need a much better strength box with decent but not to much drainedge holes
No mould so far anyway, a treatment of woodstain before planting can extend the life of the planter by years and is highly recommended as environmental conditions differ greatly.
I LOVE THIS STRAIGHT TO THE POINT WITHOUT ALL THAT UNNECESSARY TALKING 🌺🌸🌼👌
Thank you so much, you may be happy to hear that once a month we will be doing a similar style. Step by step building with no chit chat.
Right?
It's a video that you pause, slow down rewatch, etc.
No need for jibber jabber.
Carefully remove the bottom part - whack, whack, bang - bang!!😂
Sometimes referred to as "technical tapping" or "The Arthur Fonzarelli method of mechanical persuasion"
@@ourkilkennyhomestead2006 I like that 😂
Was thinking the same thing then I saw ur comment lol
Whatever works😆
I made one for my very first woodworking project ( I am 55 ). Took me 5 hours, but i learned heaps. Looks awesome. Thanks 😊

You have the cleanest pallets I have ever seen! Good idea! God Bless!
Great video. We have many pallets and I needed to see a great Video for raised beds and this was perfect. It's on the list this week😊
Pallet projects are the best! I think I will make this one, I literally just grabbed a bunch of pallets!
Hope it turns out nice, thanks for watching.

Brilliant idea, i just had a pallet of concrete bags delivered and was going to through it out. Thank you very much.
Amazing ! Thank you so much for this video ❤
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it. 😊
Great project. I’ve made two and they’re the perfect size.
That's brilliant👏
Using this build for kids Science Project growing food Garden many thanks in advance!!!
Cool project. Song is a banger too.

Wish I had the strength to dissemble, but asked my strong son to make 2 for me 😊- thanks for this clear cut (pun intended ha!) video to DIY!
I was looking and guess I wouldn't have enough strength either... injured pointer finger, hard to grab🤕. Great Video and very clean pallet🏆
This is perfect and simple
Hello. Thank you for making this video.
I made it. The instructions where clear. I did make it a bit different, as i was using a different pallet.
Ps: it takes longer than you think :)
You're very welcome. Hope your creation turned out well and serves you for many years to come.
This is perfect thank you!
Really nice
Amazing!
Very simple Thank you
Thanks I do need for my balcony garden now I know how I can make n its FREE😍😍😍😍
Great TIP! 👍
Nice video !
Nice design, might steal it. Made some a little different myself. Longest part of the process was removing the nails. I admit I cheated and cut along the outside and just had to remove the middle nails from the inside board
I usually use a metal blade and a sawzall and just cut the boards off, popping the nail heads out later.
Amazing DIY project - really inspiring
Thank you for watching 😊
Thanknyou for sharing
great stuff. I did the same thing at home!
Awesome! Thank you!
Thanks very helpful
Awesome.. We have a few pallets 🙂 I'm New to your channel from Texas!
Big hello from Ireland, thank you so much for tuning in to our channel, hope you create something amazing with those pallets.
I’ll give that a thumbs up mate
My dude this is GOLDEN!
Awesome, thanks a mil 😎
@@ourkilkennyhomestead2006 next week imma go and get some so that we will have veggies next year :) Thank you for the inspiration
Merci beaucoup j’en ai fait une aussi 😍😍
I have something similar for my strawberry bed!
Brilliant
awesome
Great video, another guy wanted me to buy 6 power tools to do the same thing!
😁
So simple anyone can do it. Thanks
You're very welcome, hope the build goes well for you.
Genial 👍
Lindoooo!!
Obrigado!
Made a goat feeder out of a pallet. Now, I need to make some planters.
The last time I took a pallet apart to make fence panels it was very difficult and time consuming. Next time I'll try a different make of pallet.
Awesome going to try this. Home Depot ur looking at 100 bucks our more for something like this..
10/10
I wish all DIY videos were like this one.
Pois já estava achar estranho o chão da primeira montagem 😮

@@ArchieInRealLife excellent, you'll be glad to hear that these pallets are much easier to take apart. Here in Ireland we call them agri pallets. 😁
How would you protect the wood from water damage? I want to make these but I don’t want to have to make them every year. Thanks.
Hi Tony, woodstain, varnish, weather resistant paint, linseed oil or organic wax. There are a number of options depending on what suits you best.
Great video; I am unclear the area of stacking, did you use just used two small woods in the opposite direction and did drill that will help the stacking three boxes or do we need to use glue? Please suggest. Thank you.
Three box sections are attached with screws and wood on the inside.
I did one piece; first DIY project;with stain coating to it;thank you for your video 🙏
Hi what was the size of the pallet used? Otherwise very clear cut video. Thank you. Any ideas for an easy pallet fence to keep out "things from my yard, 2 & 4 legged kind". Thanks again😊
Over a year ago now but I think it was a standard size euro pallet.
Whats the tool you used with the hammer to separate the pallets called?
Thanks for the vid, I'm gonna give this a try!
Large flat screwdriver, a crowbar will also work. Best of luck with your project 👍
Nice project! i would like to ask how would you protect the wood on the inside of the planter?
A good quality weatherproof woodstain. In this country we have a product called "Ronseal Fencelife" I have found it to be very long lasting and protects the wood in damp conditions.
@@ourkilkennyhomestead2006 Thank you for your answer, I'm going to see if i can find it here!
Linseed oil on front and back of each board.
I’m really struggling to take a pallet apart with a hammer and screwdriver. Any tips?
Hi Kate, a crowbar works well also and a helpful assistant might get the job done for you.
Most pallets are made with staples not nails they’re very hard to get out and its very hard to not break the wood
Sorry but thats simply not true in this part of the world. Almost all pallets in the uk and Ireland are made using nails.
Very good.and costs nothing.
It's good to see pallets are being upcycled ,,rather than being burnt one day of the year.
I had a lot of problems with mine, the wood was very poor quality and broke on the disassembling process.
Sorry to hear, thats dissapointing. The pallets can be tricky, picking the right pallets and finding every nail is not as straight forward as it can seem. Dont give up though, find more pallets and try again. Free timber is the best timber!
Is it a good idea to add a liner inside before you fill it with compost?
Don't see why not, might be no harm to make a few drainage holes to prevent water build up.
esse e bom posso ate leva pra dentro de casa mais melhor seria com as perna alta pra eu nao baixa kkkkk vou tenta faser vc ganha meu like👍
Does anybody know what the measurements for this box become?
I want to see if this size works for me before building. 😊
Build one and find out.
Will not water and soil damage the wood
Hello, a bit of common sense is required here. I show you the build, you finish it with whatever products you choose.
Question as I am a bit useless but still want to try it, do you need the machine to cut the wood as well?
Hello, you can certainly do the job with a hand saw, however a jig saw or circular saw would save hours of time and are cheap to buy.
Just a question ? Would drainage be fine ? Or just not put them to close ?
Hello, with pallet wood it's usually warped a little meaning there's gaps between the planks. If you're lucky enough to get a pallet with straight planks then you can leave small gaps or you can drill extra holes to suit your needs.
Has the pallet wood you used still in good condition? Do you treat it often?
Still good. If left untreated you should expect 2-4yrs depending on where it's kept.
What size screw did you use? Can they be water seals?
Screw sizes were, 4mm x30mm for panels and 6mm x50mm for the legs.
Está piola
Thank you very much!
Is this a stupid question what about water escaping don’t you need holes in the bosom dosent the wood rot after time or will it hold up with watering
It's a bare wooden box, how you finish it is up to you.
What size screws did you use out of interest mate??
It was a year ago now but If memory serves it was 4mm x 40mm for the panels and 6mm x 60mm for the legs.
what nail size did you use please
4mm x 30mm screws
Be great for potatoes, when there ready, just tip them out
Don't you have a regular hammer and a crowbar? It would have been easier to take the pallet apart that away.
Yes we do have both, but a regular hammer is too light, my mechanics hammer works better. Having stripped hundreds of pallets we've learned faster ways to do things.
@@ourkilkennyhomestead2006 rock on. Thanks for the info.
What are the dimensions approximately?

Used pallets to decorate your walls. I can’t recommend using them when they’re in contact with food sources. They are heavily treated with toxic chemicals.
Check out ispm15 regulations it's interesting info.
Pellet vs pallet
Use a claw hammer!
Using hammer and FLAT BAR...
Dommage que c'est pas en Français 😏
Excuses, ne peut pas plaire à tout le monde 👍
These dont work for long use the soil just washes out the gaps then they rot and fall apart after a year you have to double up everything you do over lapping oposite ways to ensure the soil stays in and it lasts longer then 10 years
This needs some underlay isnt it. Will the compost bag work?
@@freshleap unless your only planning on growing flowers you should be okay but bigger plants need a much better strength box with decent but not to much drainedge holes
😂😂 you have to fully line it. I have had mine about 6 years
@@G.E.R137 yeah an i bet if you try moving it around it will probably just crumple like a old fence pannel
Use your initiative and treat the wood with a preservative, how you finish the project is up to you the builder.
I would be concerned about the kreosote leeching from the pallet wood into the food
Search you're browser for ispm 15 pallet regulations. It will explain a few things for you 👍
Tysm, i am now convinced i dont want pallets, I'll just buy some wood 🐩
Damn bro I didn't know I needed a table saw😅
ouch😮 how about some knee pads?
Love this idea and thank you for sharing.. How is the drainage on this does mold build up at all ?
No mould so far anyway, a treatment of woodstain before planting can extend the life of the planter by years and is highly recommended as environmental conditions differ greatly.
