Pallets as porch railings

by Michele Hall

Answered

I see all these creations made out of pallets. I want to spruce up my front porch on a low budget. Do you think pallets would make a nice railing?

While I applaud you with creativity, I do not think I would attempt to use this material for a railing. Railings need to be solid and secure. Also splinter free. Most pallets are not all that perfect and can result in nasty splinters. IN addition the wood used for most pallets is low grade quality materials. This will result in faster rot and decay as compared to using treated wood.
