I have some pallet questions
-
Barb Ostronic on Jul 27, 2016I think you can smell or tell if they are treated with a chemical. Most of the ones I have seen are not treated.Helpful Reply

William on Jul 27, 2016Most are not treated. They're just for transport and no reason to be treated. There may chemical spills from factory deliveries. I personally have not ran across any treated pallets.Helpful Reply

Jean Pietrzyk Molloy on Jul 28, 2016I've never seen a treated pallet. They are made very cheaply that's why you often find them for free.Helpful Reply

OhSally on Jul 28, 2016Some are treated some aren't. I wouldn't rely on the smell test as many pallets aren't new and any smell could have dissipated but the chemical remains in n the wood. I'd Google "how to tell if pallets are chemically treated" or even something like "how to use pallets in projects". I've seen a lot of advice on pallet choosing at sites like thatHelpful Reply
