20 Easy As Heck DIY Pallet Projects

So I LOVE pallets. They are so handy to have around and they are an inexpensive way to build things around the homestead!

I love creating DIY projects out of pallets. So I’ve compiled a list of my favorite pallet projects that are handy for any homestead!

Before I get into the list of projects keep it mind that it is very important that you make sure you are using pallets that are NOT treated with chemicals.

Back in the day many pallets were treated with a chemical called methyl bromide (MB) that is dangerous for humans and animals! Now pallets are no longer treated with this chemical, they are heat treated, but you want to make sure that you know how your pallet has been treated! Most pallets will have a stamp that will tell you how they were treated. Check out this blog post I wrote about how to tell if your pallets are safe to use.

So here are my favorite DIY pallet projects for your home and garden.
