Warren G. on Sep 16, 2012Try adding small pieces of wood in between the slates of the pallets. This will allow you to control the width of the gap for drainage and you would not have to pull any wood. If the pallets are typical the pieces would be about 1" wide to 1 1/12 " wide depending on the pallets and how big of a gap you wanted to have for drainage.Helpful Reply

Woodbridge Environmental Tiptophouse.com on Sep 17, 2012You need to be careful using pallets for that type of surface. The wood used is fairly weak and can crack under the pressure of someone walking on it. As far as using plywood, it will decay both from the sun and wet weather. Also pallets set on the ground become a great food source for insects and create a great hiding place for snakes between all the boards. The wood should be treated and properly sealed around the outside edges to prevent critters getting under and nesting.Helpful Reply
