Our Backyard Upcycle
www.1001pallets.com/2015/07/our-backyard-upcycle/
We had a corner of our yard that had an old tree,mud and brush. Nothing could grow due to the woods behind us. I saw so many great ideas online that it inspired me to do a pallet project. Low on funds we decided to try this out.
We were able to find 120 pallets from a business that needed to get rid of them. It became a great project for myself, husband and son. I have never done anything like this so I was sadly mistaken when I thought it would take about three weeks. It has been three months and this is where we are at. Eventually We will add a clear roof.
I combined a few projects I liked into one huge project idea. We absolutely love it and I can see us tweeking it for years to come. My teens love the private, cool hang out spot. I love the zen feel when you sit in it.
We replaced our old fence with a fence my mom was getting rid of. We cut the rotted section off the bottom and with a fresh coat of paint...a new FREE fence for us. The old playhouse from the kids became our new dog house with a sink for a water bowl.
We thought about putting decking across the top of pallets but we fell in love with the rustic look of the painted pallets.
