How can i build a nice looking fence out of wood pallets?
I truly need a new fence around my backyard so my Fancy Pants can play outside. My neighbor's have a chainlink fence that's old and nasty and needs removed. I've seen alot of yards that have pallet fencing and they look really good. Any ideas would be great,just 4ft tall with double gates so I'm able to get my riding mower into my backyard and I'd like to paint it white. Thank you

There are a couple way to accomplish this, first use the pallet as is and get post to insert in the ground about 2 ft down and attach them in a way of creating a wall. Which means you would have to find some pretty nice looking pallets to create a nice presentation.
Second would be to take pallets apart and use the 2 x 4 pieces as a frame and the rest of the boards as the walls. Finishing with stain either way will give you a nice finished look.
If it were me, I'd put two T posts in the ground and put the pallet down over the top of them. Put them close enough so the ends almost touch, they won't move! You could spray paint them if you wanted, but rustic is in vogue now.
I didn't use pallets, but here's an easy rail fence I built that might give you some inspiration. How to Build a Wood Rail Fence
