Pallet Bench Project

This is a simple pallet bench project I wanted to share with everyone. I was making this for a family night we will be hosting. Though it is a bit crude it does the trick and I like the raw finish.

Step 1: Materials

You will need a few tools to get the job done. Drill, drill bit and phllips bit, hand saw (or power saw), 2-1/2 & 3 inch screws, tapemeasure, pencil, square & a sander. I used a 44x32" pallet, a 2x1x36" scrap wood for support& a 7' 2x4 for the legs.

Of all the pallet chairs, this is the one I keep coming back to. I DO love this one and thinking how the upper back (on the back) would make a nice planter or even a small "table". Now to get the husband motivated! Very good 'ible!

Thanks a lot. I love the idea of plants behind it. I want to make changes to my next one like arms with cup holders. I have other stuff I'll be posting so check back.

Thanks again,
Chad

Nice.

Not bad at all. A suggestion, angle the back about 5 degrees from vertical, it'll be more comfortable. As someone else said, add arms. Nice wide arms keep the cold ones close to hand,

Thanks, I think your on to something with the arms with cup holders. May have to add those. My first go at it so the next one will have a few changes.

Great project thanks. We put one today on beautiful place where bench was missing.

[Chadifornia]

Great view! Glad I could help fill that space. Enjoy

That's awesom, if you have a shelf ,which is fixed at the bottom of the backrest ,you would be able to put plants in it.

Good idea, Thanks. I think Ill add it on top of the back.

Good use of an item that is given away everyday here on CL. Thanks for the idea. Now to put it to use.. :-).
Great pics also.

Thanks

I like it, although, I think I would have made the legs higher and added arms instead of the angled pieces. To each their own right ! rustic works well in woodland settings or camp grounds so I can see a lot of people liking this

Thanks. Thats what I was thinking but I ran out of lumber. When I was done I had a 18" 2x4 left over. Haha Oh well I have one more pallet to see what else I can come up with.

ok, that makes sense ! I'm going to keep this in mind for a future project
