Pallet Table

While inspiration surfing the other day, I came across this awesome picture of a pallet table!


I thought a table like this would look perfect on our little patio. It just so happens that we're having our roof replaced at the church where I work. And guess what I had access to.....................PALLETS!! Lots of them! All the shingles had to come on something, right?!? We took home 3 of them, my husband made a run to Home Depot for other supplies and he started making me a table.  

First he started by cutting 4 x 4's to the height we wanted the table. 


Next he removed the top and bottom board on the back side of the pallet. 


This allowed him to drill holes at each corner of the pallet and through each leg. Then he connected the legs to the table with lag bolts. 




All four legs attached. 



Next, he screwed the boards he removed back on, cutting out pieces to fit around the legs. 


Here's our finished pallet table!!!I sanded it down and cleaned it. Now we just have to seal it.

  8. I love it! This would look so terrific in many different settings: rustic, beachy, or garden theme, to name a few. It could be left as is or painted or stained. So many options! And soooo budget friendly. Great job! Kudos to you and the hubby.

  15. Fabulous! I have that same picture pinned in my account and am currently making a bench. I just got the "legs" cut this morning and have been thinking about how to attach them to the pallet. Now, thanks to you, I know exactly what to do! Awesome! I also made a headboard and a shelf from old pallets. Love 'em!

  33. Love this table, just what I want for my back yard. Thanks for sharing this awesome project!! :)

  34. I was thinking about modifying just a little to make it a pedestal... Leave the back boards on, maybe add 2, put all 4 legs in the middle, and use the cut parts of the 4x4's around the base as support...

  37. My names are Julia moreton I’m a citizen of UK, My younger sister was sicking of
    breast cancer and her name is Florence   I and my family have been taking her
    to all kind of hospital over here(UK) still yet no good result. I decided to go to
    the internet and search for cancer cure so that was how I find a lady
    called Sophia Charlotte,   she testifies to the world about the goodness of a
    herbal man who has the roots and herbs to cure all kind of disease and the
    herbal man email was there. So I decided to contact the herbal man @ kokobiherbalremedycentre@gmail.com for my
    younger sister to see if he can cure her from the ailment that has befallen her(breast cancer). I contacted him and told him
    my problem he told me that I should not worry that my sister will be
    cure, he told me that there is a medicine that he is going to send give to me to cook and give it to my sister to drink for one week, so I ask how
    can I receive the cure that I am in UK, he told me
    That I will pay for the delivery service. The courier service can
    transport it to me so he told me the amount I will pay, so my dad paid for
    the delivery fee. two days later I receive the cure from the courier
    service so I used it as the herbal man instructed me to, before the week runs out, my sister cancer was healed and it was like a dream to me not
    knowing that it was physical I and my family were very happy about the
    miracle of Doctor kokobi. my dad wanted to pay him 5 million  dollars as token of our appreciation towards his good work but the
    herbal man declined the offer which I don't know why, he only say that I should tell the world about him
    and the miracle he perform so am here now to tell the world about him if
    you or your relative is having any kind of disease that you can't get a solution to from
    the hospital please contact kokobiherbalremedycentre@gmail.com or WhatsApp him
    +254746618873 or call him via his calling line +2348114448587 . And if you need more information about the doctor you can send me an mail @
