These are the materials you'll need:
(If you're making one lounge chair you'll only need 3 pallets but this tutorial is for two chairs)
- Four pallets of the same size, preferably rectangular
- One pallet slightly wider than your other pallets, more square than rectangular
- Scrap 2X4s or pallet scraps of the 2X4 kind

A couple more 2x4s and you wouldn't have to have a bigger pallet for the backrest. Cut the backrest pallet in half all the way across, and screw a full length 2x4 on to each side. This would use parts of more pallets though, and you've got a really optimal solution here.
I use the reflector from a street light buried to an inch of it's rim and filled with dirt to about two inches from the rim for a fire pit. That'd be a way to get rid of excess pallet. An oven rack makes a nice grill for it. :-) Just watch out for treated wood, but you wouldn't want to use that for a seat either. The splinters are nasty.
I made Sparkle Balls and I have 2 liter Wind Spinners as well.
My neighbors love me.
These lounge chairs are great cause they are nice and wide and the cushions
are a nice touch.
