Louise Perkins on Apr 06, 2014being light in color the are not outside wood. you do need to protect them from the weather. I would look under pallet projects not that they are, but you have only a few short boards. I agree with pat it will come to you. Great find!Helpful Reply

Susan Sheffield on Apr 06, 2014Love these. Just as they are, You could make a very nice headboard, an organizer for a craft room, or place one above a fireplace mantel and hang pictures on. Looks like they are not for outdoor use. Be sure to treat the wood if you decide to use them outdoors.Helpful Reply

Yvonne Ocasio on Apr 16, 2014We just bought a house and it brought a ramp and I want to remove it to give me more pation space. It has this tiny porch that I would like to extend sideways to make it a rectangle porch. Does anyone have any idea how I can make this extension without having to dig holes on the ground for the poles? Or foundation? the 6 ft wide porch already has those four poles under ground. Thank you for any ideas.Helpful Reply

Leslie Long on Apr 16, 2014It looks like good quality wood....probably from a futon or bed. Probably need to be sealed if you end up using them outside. If you don't know what to do but they take up too much space, take them apart (I see screws) and stack the slats somewhere until you figure it out. It will come to you :)Helpful Reply
