Question

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.

Question

What size of bed does this make?

Community Answer

It depends on how many pallets you use. Do you know an easy way to tear pallets apart? Instead of using a deck wrecker or crow bar, which takes time, expense, and is cumbersome, I use a sawz-all with a metal cutting blade, and cut along the thin boards on top, and cut them right off easily.
