Pallets can be found so many places for free. And you can make all kind of great things from them. We have made this from light weight pallets. Here goes: Drill some supporting pallet boards to the walls - like 2 or 3 on top of each other. Drill the first pallet you see on the left of the picture to the supporting boards. Drill the following pallets to the previous. Do the same on the opposite side. If you do not have a wall to fix it on, then find a log that you can put down in the ground to fix it to. On the pallet you will use for a gate place some strong hinges and a lock on the other side. For extra support put some boards or small logs in the front and/or back to keep it solid. Happy hunting and building

Great reuse to make something you need, Siff! Welcome to Hometalk!
This is such a great idea, Siff! Can you share how you made it?
LOVE!
Thank you all - building it is quite simple Miriam - some support boards are drilled into the wall - the pallet is drilled to the support board and to the the next pallet which is supplied with hinges.. The final pallet is also drilled into the support boards and in front and back some holes are digged to put in some supporting boards. Remember to use the light version of pallet at least as the one being used as gate. Good luck building :)
I love things made from pallets!!! Great way to recycle....thanks for sharing your ideas!!!
