    My problem is I do not have wooden pallets. Any suggestions?
    Community Answer
    Go by some factories, grocery stores, beer stores, hardware stores, etc., they often have them sitting out in the back of their buildings or by their trash bins. Call them or stop by and ask if you can have them for free. I obtained about 25 pallets this way, totally free.
