Thread: Pallets make great structures

Tweet

For those of you who are financially challenged like me you might like this or have already heard about it.
For cheap or free structure material you can use wood pallets sometimes businesses give these away. You can attach more than one together and get some good sized walls out of them. Also they make really cool looking distressed walls for your haunts. They can be used to make a maze for your haunts as well as other things not to mention that they can be re-used for next year and configured in many ways. I'm all about doing things the cheap or free way.
Stay tuned for more of my cheap tutorials.

I've used pallets to make mazes for the past few years. They are great. you can just screw them together with deck screws. If you design it right the structure can be self supporting.

Last year I borrowed pallets from a friend who owns a shipping company. He dropped them off for me and when I was done, they were picked up.

Looking forward to the tutorials!

Most of us here know all too well the beauty of pallets for about a billion uses, Halloween & otherwise, but it's always good to have the pics & directions for old or new uses.

It's nice to know I'm not the only cheap one here

I have already started collecting them for this year. I have never used them before but think that it is a great idea!

Not by a long shot! In fact I think it's one of the top 10 reasons people join, to find cheaper, easier, more attractive & creative ways to make things.

No doubt about that, not everyone in to home/yard haunting is a millionare. That is for sure. Always looking for new ideas, tips, and suggestions for an inexpensive solution to a problem (or want).

yeah my whole maze is pallets and i keep them up all year in the woods and they are still holding up great pallets is the way to go if u cant afford plywood and ect.

My plan is to fence our entire front yard with a pallet fence. Pull off 3 boards on bottom, saw off top support, then just saw to a point on the tops, with no need to be exact. Drill a hole down through the 2 remaining middle supports and insert short pieces of rebar pounded into ground to hold them up. The more aged they are the better!!

Just picked up a truck load of pallets and crates, oh the fun I shall have lol.
