Thread: How to make pallet walls stand up against brick wall of house?

Tweet

I'm really hoping to do a pallet walkway this year (or possibly next).

The only thing I'm not quite sure about is how they got the walls to stand up, as they have a brick wall (we do too)...

We're doing a Halloween (Jason) thing, so I was also thinking about using some pallet to create a sort of dock they could walk on too.

(sorry I know i'm really bad at wording my questions. ^_^

Oh, this is the website I'm going off of. I thought it looked really awesome and scary.

In the first few pictures they look like they are in construction and leaning. later when the top is on in picture 9, 12 and 16 (counting across and down) what I see is they have connected them together on each side to make a wall and then an arch over the top to keek them upright. Also you see supports going the the brick walls so it dont rock. I dont believe the wood going to the walls are corrected but just put in place to keep it tight. My guess is the top beams are the solution with maybe a few large L brackets.

Looks like the pallets are connected with 2x4s then screwed or nailed into the wall of the house and then for the other side the might be a small 2x4 in that bush or another wall its probley mounted to whatever is in the bush.

basically it looks like they made a big square, the 2x4s goin across the creates a support and makes such a wide base. If you are building one against a brick wall and the other end is open I would suggest doing some sort of brace on the open side that keeps it stable so it doesnt collapse sideways such as the high tech diagram below
