Clean the pallets from dirt so that furniture can be made from them.
The most effective way is to use a grinding machine. When using this tool, be sure to protect yourself – carry out work in open areas and wear a mask and glasses.
Since you are going to make furniture for the garden, it will stand in the open air and be exposed to various external factors. To protect furniture from moisture, weather conditions, you need to cover with a layer of primer.

When the glue dries, you need to strengthen the countertop with a few more boards. Then cover it with a primer, and then with a layer of varnish after drying. For the mobility you can attach wheels.
Pallet chair
For the standard version, two pallets are enough, which are divided into two parts in the process.
Further actions are carried out in order:
- The cut parts are applied in the form of a seat and a backrest, as well as two armrests.
- The entire wooden surface is sanded.
- The seat and back are attached, if desired, you can cut off a little when connecting and get a slight slope.
- The sidewalls are bolted, since nails are less reliable in this regard.
