DIY Single Pallet Garden Planter

 

14. Full of pots. Finished!

14. Full of pots. Finished!

I wanted to make a raised planter for my patio out of an old wooden pallet I had stuck behind the shed.

Searching the internet I found some elaborate schemes for creating planters out of multiple pallets.  I even found schemes for making playhouses, sheds, space ships and yachts.

But I didn’t find anything for a simple little planter made from a single pallet.  So thought I’d just get on with it and do it myself!  D-I-Y on a Bank Holiday Monday!

I love little simple projects that you can bash out, use and not worry too much about getting perfect.  Indeed, this project is suited to being  a bit shabby!

Required

  1. One pallet – 1200 x 1000mm four way entry pallet used here
  2. A saw
  3. A hammer
  4. Some nails
  5. Tasty beverage of your choice
  6. About an hour or so.

Conclusion

Bash it together, use it.  Fix it if it falls apart.  

Find another pallet, make another.

  1. Hi Simon, thanks for the link and the compliments. That’s a good strategy, not pulling the whole thing apart. Good result.
