Pamela Woodon Mar 13, 2019yes. but I do not have a garage. I was going to use the outside of my shed. space is 3' wide by 6'long. was going to staple or nail a plastic tarp over the top for protection in the rain and winter. thought of putting a base underneight it so it is off the ground. there is also a 8' hedge at the side of the 3'. protection from snow there also. do you have any other suggestions that might work better. I am limited on space in shed. and lots of rakes and shovels. thanks. this is a great idea.

Tanya Markson Apr 23, 2019I would put this inside the shed if possible. Where are your tool now? If you do put something outside, paint it to protect from the elements as you would your home.

Bev Warrenon Apr 23, 2019I have a place to put this NOW. No more having to set the rakes etc upright every time I take a "tool" out to use. Thanks

Have a question about this project?
I've never seen a pallet with that clean of lines. Is this really a pallet or does it just look sorta like a pallet? Did you use the wood from a pallet and just rearrange it?
Elwanna , there's lots of new pallets everywhere , just keep looking , behind motorcycle shops , gardening stores and hardware stores and grocery stores have real cute little pallets about 2' long and brand new white pine wood , ask inside the store if they have any for displays . And always ask permission for taking any pallets from anywhere .
Elwanna - this pallet was on my neighbours front yard and I had seen it come off the truck with the gyprock sheets on it. No breaks or cracks, not dirty or anything! Score! They left it there after it was unloaded so I asked them if the delivery company was coming back for it and they said no and that I could have it if I wanted it.
Sounds like you are one lucky dog. I will be looking out for one now though. I think it is a great idea.
I have one just like that , my Murphy bed arrived on it. It's one pallet!
how many pallets did it take to make the rack?
@Rosanne The one shown here was one large pallet. You could easily do a row of smaller pallets if that is what you have available. Should work just as well I would think.
It's one pallet I'm sure. I have one just like it
Did you rearrange any of the boards?
No. The bottom one was damaged (shows as top in the photo to the camera) so that was removed but the boards were left as they were apart from that.
Thank you Carole!!!
How did you attach it to the wall?
You could of course screw through the pallet itself to attach to the wall. I preferred to use the hooks I already had so that if I wanted to, I could lift the whole thing off and away from the wall to clean behind.
This one was on my neighbours front yard for throw out as they just had a lot of plasterboard or gyprock delivered. The company doing the delivery did not want to come back and take the pallet away, so I asked them if I could have it. You can use smaller pallets and just put a run of them along the wall if that is all you have access to. Thanks for your comments.
Where did you get the pallets
