DIY Amazing Pallet Recycle

I love to do wood pallet recycle projects that are fun and pallet recycling wood pallets is one of my favorite ways to find wood for my projects. It wasn't always that way though. There were times when I went to the big box home improvement store and purchased new lumber for my projects. If you've bought any new wood lately, you'll know that it isn't cheap! I knew that if I could find a source for used wood I could cut the cost down considerably.

Pallets come in all shapes and sizes and just about every type of wood. I regularly find pallets made of pine, poplar and oak. I am also always finding pallets in new and unique shapes, some good for stand-alone projects and others good for the wood. I have seen some great wooden pallet tables with really fine finishes that have the look of well-used finely crafted furniture. It just depends on the pallets you find and what you do with them.

Pallet recycle collars is normally used as wrapping for goods but can be used in other ways to! From the beginning it was a way of recycling waste, and that is never a bad thing! Now when the popularity of pallet recycle has increased they can also be purchased brand new in many colors and sizes. The finesse with wood pallet collars is that they can be used as a single collar or you can stack them on top of each other. In that way you get a grater depth for growing e.g. potatoes, carrots and other types of vegetables that requires deeper soil.

Not all pallets are good for building so it is necessary to choose them with care. First look for clean, unbroken pallets. Split rails or slats may not be a problem for certain projects but they can often indicate other problems with the pallet. Make sure the pallets are stamped HT, these are the heat treated pallets that are safe to use. It also means that the pallets is made from a hardwood and is more suitable for recycling. A lot of pallets I find marked HT are made from oak, cherry, maple or walnut. These trees are often used for making pallets because they are too small for other uses.
