r/PalletWoodProjects

Bear with me. Building a shed for as little money as possible, and pallets are...well...free. scavenging wood from local building contractor dumpsters after hours when I need something in particular.

Standard pallets are 48 inches by 40 inches, which means 12 pallets is exactly 160 square feet: the exact size of structure I can build without a permit. The plan is to stack 2 pallets to make 8 foot walls, and 2.5 pallets at the front to make a 10 foot, single slope roof.

Pros: pallets have a natural void in them, so running electrical should be great.

Cons: pallets come in different sizes and conditions. Newer is better but it's still a pain.
