Uses for Pallets & Scaffold planks - Veggie - 21-09-2022
There are hundreds of ways to repurpose a pallet. Add your ideas to this thread please.
I'll start.

A garden tool and brush rack. The pallet is freestanding, not attached to the wall.

I haven't got any pallets, but I've seen compost bins made out of them.
Now if you'd asked about old scaffold planks, that'd be a different story.

I'm sure I asked about Scaffold planks, JJB.
RE: Uses for Pallets & Scaffold planks - JJB - 22-09-2022
I must be hard of reading, apologies.
Scaffold planks - firstly they were free, always a bonus, they were required to form a walkway on newly renovated and seeded lawn (what a disaster that was, but that's a different story), they are regularly used as walking planks on the soft soft wet soil on the veg bed in the spring, they have been sawed to size to support the sides of the strawberry dumpy, they are forming an edge to gh borders, they've been crawling boards on top of hedges, the list is almost endless nd there are still lots left.
PS I can do some pics but not this morning, it's shopping day.

Pallets - they were never intended to make furniture out of and that practice should be banned.
However, they're really good for compost bays.
Scaffolding boards are great for just slightly raised beds, made into benches or chunky shelving on the inside or outside of a shed or fence.

In moments of madness I have made 'Fairy Doors' with little frames and hinges out of pallet wood!
They also make wonderful sticks for lighting the woodburner!
