How to build shed?
Anyone know how to put together a small garden shed using wood pallets? It can be rustic, nothing fancy, and able to keep out rain/snow.

You could take the pallets apart and use the wood as if it were just lumber. Pallets are not waterproof, as you know. And since the ones i have around my little vege garden are from different sources, no two are alike. Not easy to build anything with those in their original state. In natural state they turn grey in the weather, and some will deteriorate, so be picky in your pallet choices.
You can buy a "deck wrecker" to help take the pallets apart more easily.
With pallet wood lumber, your framing dimensions will have to accommodate the pallet lumber lengths. Lots of math and diagrams there. Find a simple design in a book at the library, adjust for the lumber you have, and go for it.

For the bottom shelf, add another 1X2 strip on each side of the cabinet and one at the back. You can either have the shelf flush with the top of the drawer or a little lower to sit inside. You will need another strip at the back of the top shelf. This will give your board something to sit on.
