Our backyard has come a LONG way! We are finally to the fun decorating stage of our backyard makeover; which brings us to this pallet project tutorial for our DIY outdoor pallet couch! We had to take care of a few necessary/required projects like fixing our rainwater drainage problems and adding patio pavers around the patio, and now we were able to focus on making the patio more comfortable and fun! We built an inexpensive DIY outdoor couch out of pallets with an AWESOME money saving hack.
Our DIY outdoor pallet couch was an easy pallet project and the perfect way to add additional seating to our patio. This was a super cheap project as well. The cost saving tip:
use crib mattresses instead of outdoor cushions!
Seriously the best idea ever! The mattresses are the perfect size, cheap, and WATERPROOF! The pallets were free, the mattresses were 30 bucks each, and the sheets are less than $10 and can easily be thrown in the washer if they get dirty. This project cost around $100! Way cheaper than buying new patio furniture

Great job! However, I wouldn’t use pallets unless they’re treated. It’s an invitation to termites. Also, since it’s pretty much exposed to the elements, mold/mildew will likely set in on the cushions. Looks good though!

I sprayed scotch guard on mine. Have used them for a few years- no mood or mildew. When they’re dirty, I wash, dry and respray. I live in Canada so no termites here. I think this is a great idea!
