Here is another project that I made for my in-laws' new backyard oasis. As mentioned in a previous post, they just got rid of their pool and have created a hang out/fire pit/bar area where the pool once stood. My mother-in-law saw this concept and wanted me to make her one in order to hang items on outside and also for potential storage (the area between the pallet and the fence can be used to lay gardening tools such as shovels and rakes through--or if you have a pool, you can lay your pool noodles through there instead). She was really excited about how her organization rack came out and I was pleased as punch for another check in the box for pallet projects I've been able to do!
Supplies:
STEP 1: Paint your pallet
STEP 2: Cut 4x4
STEP 3: Remove blocks (Optional)
STEP 4: Attach pallet and 4x4
STEP 5: Measure "legs"
STEP 6: Secure back
STEP 7: Secure rack to fence (optional)
STEP 8: Attach hooks
I'm so happy that my in-laws love their organization rack--and again, I love love love the color! I could only find one super cute turquoise octopus hook but I still had to have it--I knew it would pop so well against the coral color.
Don't you love the color??! I'll have to take a picture of their little oasis all put together so that you can see it. They just got a tiki bar as well so it looks like you stepped into the Caribbean...sort of.
It clearly didn't take my father-in-law very long to throw a bunch of items on the hooks! I love all the color!!
Enjoyed the project?

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
where do you get a pallet?
I love the project but wouldn't putting the hooks on the fence accomplish the same?
looks great and easy enough that I could try it. would it be possible to hang it in the garage? what would you do differently. ( I live in a townhouse, so no yard)
