    Ashley's free/cheap she'd made from pallets

    Hmmm I'm not sure how I could protect the base pallets now without taking it all apart....? If I'm honest if it lasts 2 years I would be surprised, the main reason I'm building it is A: I wanted a project that wouldn't cost me much if anything B: I wanted a workshop/shed big enough to work on...

    Roof timber sizing

    I understand what you mean with the frame in the centre to add a bit of rigidity. A bit like this? So the arrow pointing with number 1 is the frame in the middle. I used some of the pallet slats and placed on the top of the wall alike arrow number 2 but do I really need to change this to...

    Ashley's free/cheap she'd made from pallets

    No I haven't, I assumed that the pallets would be sufficiently protective enough by themselves. I guess as the pallets spend most of their time outside with things on them I thought they would be fine. I'm going to protect the floor material when I lay the proper floor down. Can anyone see...

    Roof timber sizing

    I see what you mean, if I'm honest the walls do flex a fair bit if you wobble them although the front wall is solid since putting the door frame in. I intent the make my joists/trusses in triangle shape with an over hang at each end, and possibly with a sorts of square support/section to...

    Ashley's free/cheap she'd made from pallets

    I made the door frame from 4x2 wood that used to support the floor of the old shed. In keeping with the cheap free theme. My parents where getting rid of some old fence panels and so I thought I would use them to clad my shed with. I've still got plenty more to collect and plenty more to strip...

    Roof timber sizing

    I'm building myself a shed out of pallets and I've come to the roof! The idea was to keep costs down, and so far it's only cost me £9 for a few boxes of long screws, and some fuel collecting the pallets! Luckily the pallets are in the same industrial estate that I work so it's not really cost...

    Beginner coffee table

    Apart from the school projects I've not really done anything with wood since. I'm collecting an array of pallets currently I have 24 of even size and a further 10-15 random sizes. I just need about 10 more of the same size and I've got enough to build the main skeleton/main frame of my shed...
