20 Pallet Projects For Your Garden This Spring | Homesteading

Reading Time: 5 minutes

April 6, 2020 By Riley E. Carlson 14 Comments

Garden pallet projects are a great way to put your pallets to good use. Upgrade your garden this spring with some of these ideas!

Pallet Projects | Homesteading And Gardening Ideas

I’ve been doing some cleaning in our shed and guess what I found? Pallets! It’s on my list of things to never throw away so it was really no surprise that I’d come across a couple. So what am I to do with these pallets? I looked around and had a lightbulb moment—it does seem like my garden needs a bit of a makeover, and the wonderful thing about pallets is that they’re basically ready-made bundles of building material. They’re also very aesthetically pleasing in an outdoorsy garden sort of way.

Having a nice area of your yard to spend time is a huge bonus during the ongoing quarantine. It’s healthy to breathe fresh air and get some sun. And adding pallets in creative ways makes your garden feel more like a hang-out spot than just a project to work on when you want some exercise.

So if you feel that your garden could use some additions, or you just want to get busy on a healthy at-home project, here are a few garden pallet projects worth trying!

But before we begin, you should: Learn how to safely and easily deconstruct a pallet!

 

1. Pallet Patio Furniture

All you need to do is stack pallets in a creative way in order to make totally usable furniture for your garden that looks great!

2. Pallet Compost Bin

Make your own pallet compost bin to ensure your garden is healthy by having a constant supply of compost. This easy DIY project takes less than an hour to make. It’s a great compost bin, not just because of the way the pallets create a structure to the pile, but it also allows proper ventilation.

7. Pallet Swing

Bind together two pallets and suspend the two ends from an overhanging branch and voila! You’ve got a wooden swing!

Of course, your swing will look a bit bare without anything decorating it. Not to mention the fact it will be uncomfortable to sit or lie on. Solve both these problems by buying a thin cushion the dimensions of your new pallet swing.

The result will not only be comfortable but attractive in a quaint, rustic sort of way. Lying on your swing, swaying gently back and forth in the garden breeze is a perfect way to enjoy the lush atmosphere you’ve created, too.

In a similar vein, you can pry a few slats loose from a pallet and add a few holders to the underside to make a vertical hanging garden for spices! Label each spice for a very cool-looking spice garden.

Like we said, making awesome outdoor furniture by stacking pallets is easy.

By creating a bar, you can transform your garden into an entertainment space for lawn parties. Or mix yourself a few cocktails to while away the quarantine.

18. Make A Greenhouse

The slats on a pallet are perfect for creating the frame for a large structure when they are pried off.

Creating a greenhouse from pallet slats will obviously require a bit more time than the other ideas here since you’ll need to get your hands on the glass plates too, but it’s a pretty easy way to make your garden a lot more impressive.

19. Pallet Pond

Use deconstructed pallets to make a pool in your garden. Decorate it with some koi fish and water plants to get that garden atmosphere!

20. Wooden Pathway

A wooden pathway creates an inexpensive and attractive garden path, is easier and less difficult to make than a concrete or stone path, and works perfectly in wet or sloping areas.
