Woodbridge Environmental Tiptophouse.com on Feb 07, 2015While I thing this might be a great idea, I think you need to perhaps look at doing this in another way. The pallets can be difficult to find in enough quantity and shape/size. Also they can tend to become a pretty big dust collector with all those boards. I would suggest that perhaps you paint your wall your color choice, Then nail 2x4 wood perhaps slightly distressed on the surface to give it that used Pallet look vertically on the walls. This would be where you would screw sideways your shelf brackets to hold the shelves. Then using reclaimed pallets that are disassembled Nail the pallet boards onto the face of the newly installed wall vertical wall studs. You can vary the distance between each board to give it more of a industrial look, and you can create a more even pattern on the wall. using tiny screws instead of nails, will also enable you to remove some of the boards should you need to move shelves around a bit. You will find you will have a lot more luck in finding the pallet wood in this fashion then trying to find enough of one size that when assembled would fit on the wall.Helpful Reply

Jackie Gfeller on Feb 07, 2015I have a tendency to be practical and cleaning a splintery pallet would seem like a nightmare to me. It would snag any cloth used and it would eat the feathers of a feather duster. If you painted it would suck paint to the nth degree and that could get expensive unless you primer it with all your old left over paints laying around the house. The rough wood draws dust and cobwebs like a magnet. Not to rain on a free parade, but I don't see the love in this project. I saw someone use plastic pipe the other day to enclose cords, and I also saw someone take the cords themselves and make an artistic design with them on the wall. just thinkin'...having had to work with pallets I don't have much love left for them when the splinters arrive! ha. Good luck!Helpful Reply
