What would be the cheapest way to lay pallet wood for a garden path?

cut pcs to desired height, backed side use chicken wire to hold firmly and also makes it manageable.

cut pcs to desired height and backside staple or tack chicken wire to hold sturdy plus it's manageable

dig up the grass and then put a vapor barrier down, sand on top and then the wood from the pallets

No vapor barrier. Then when it rains, your wood will be sitting in water. Gravel or at least sand underneath.

Hello Mary; I have seen something similar done using pallets.

First I would suggest that you remove all grass from the area.

You will have to raise the area by either using sand, rock and or gravel.

I would personally use sand and gravel. Lay the treated pallet planks over the sand/gravel mixture.

By treated, I would sand the pallets and then would stain them, so that they will hold up due to the outdoor elements.

I hope that this helps you!! Take Care!

i used 2 2x4s then I took apart my pallet and used wood screws to attach them to the 2x4s then I used stakes to keep the hole thing in place I love the look
