The Pallet Wood Shed
We had the need for a new wood
shed and since I had a large number
of used wooden pallets we decided
to put them to a good use again.
With the excellent results we
got with our Pallet
Fence and Pallet
Shed
we knew this project would turn
out just as nice.
The shed is 8 x 16 feet and
will hold four cords of wood.
This is another example what
can be done with recycled products.
The following pictures show the
end results.
A total of twenty five pallets
were used so far which is
twenty five pallets that didn't
go to the local landfill.
My total cost as of May 9 is
$ 47

I have been told by the support team of my

I still have to do the gable ends and close the corners in. I'm going to leave the pallets open on this shed. Wood dries a lot better if the wind can blow through it. |

A great way to make the woodshed look a bit better. |

| I've heard comments that building with pallets is a bad idea because the wood used in them is not #1 grade and they will rot out quite quickly. Well this wood shed is in the middle of it's third winter and shows no signs of rot. |

coop using pallets and had the following to say about it. "I found your website about a
year ago – this time – and it was really just what I was looking for.
I was ordering baby chicks in the spring and planning to use my summer
to build their new coop – and seeing your projects sort of solidified the
possibility in my mind of making it out of pallets and recycled stuff.
I had no building experience – but your pictures – and a lot of books –
helped me to put the thing together. This summer I am planning on
expanding their arrangement.

| Pete from Canton, MO USA sent in these
pictures showing how he tries to save the environment.
He had the following to say: "I love what you have done using pallets. I have been using them for quite sometime and am amazed at how much use they are. I have attached some pic's of some of my structures. My latest craze is using pallets and old large satellite dishes for roofs. Also have used old truck canopies for the same purpose. We freecycle a lot and get these items for free. I got the siding for a friend who was having new put on their house and I took the old stuff." |

| Ken Hoh of Walton, KY. has used pallets for some years
now as a building material.
He just finished the chicken coup shown below and is planning a foot bridges across the back of the ponds on his property. He says that both ponds are triangular and stream fed. So crossing the tail can be tricky. He is going to make a pillar of 4 foot pallets and use the 12 foot long x 4 foot wide pallets as a base for a foot bridge. They should make nice fishing platforms too. His total cost for this coup coup was $6 - H didn't have any door hinges. |

This shed was built by Peter Glendinning
It holds 3 1/2 cords of wood. Once the roof is shingled he is ready for winter. |

| This shed was build by Tom Anthony, Kodiak Alaska.
He had the following to say about his shed. "I got to say that your idea for the pallet wood shed is great. Here in Kodiak it can be tough to keep your wood dry. I just completed our woodshed based on your idea, with a few modifications. My total cost was roughly $50 for some hardware, and 2X 4’s. Not bad considering the cost of lumber here. I did happen to score pretty good at the local landfill for lumber though. Anyway, I will attach a picture of the new addition, still needs a door. In the picture is my wife Thea and our bird dog Maggie." |
