    Be sure to look at the stamp on the wood & Google that code. Some of the pallets are treated with harsh chemicals.
    • @SJazz Your correct on this, but not all pallets have these stamps. Those that do often are the property of the company that uses these pallets and are not normally available to the public. But you did touch on one important thing. Many pallets are used for hauling drums of chemicals, often times these chemicals are spilled onto the pallets when being filled, shipped and even placed on floors where the chemicals have spilled. Be sure to know what these pallets were used for. Before you make the mistake of bringing these harmful chemicals into your home.

    shelves, simple furniture, you can take the slats and put them together to make a headboard or a small gate, there are many thing you can do. Also in your garden use the pallets at rows, you have walkways inbetween each row so you don't damage the surrounding plants when walking through it.

    maybe you're new to this forum.... that would explain your question since there are and have been probably hundreds of posts on here about that. There are FB pages, web sites etc on this topic. Pallet projects have been all over the internet and TV for a few years now. Just try Google. And let your imagination run! I keep a stack at all times since they are so versatile around the farm and house.
