Hello everyone,

We are thinking of becoming little crafty with reclaimed wooden pallets. I've seen many ideas online, "read" bunch of articles, and some concepts are great. However, most of the websites do not necessarily describe how the work is done, what materials would you need (as wooden pallets come in different sizes). What we want to start off with is the outdoor furnishing. Seems easy, put one on top of the other.

Have you guys done anything like it? Flower/herb pot shelves, tables, chairs? Would you mind sharing? And maybe give a hint or two

Building something out of pallets isn't a real exact science. You just go out and get what pallets are available in your area and design whatever you want to build based on the site would you get out of the pallets. Even the type of lumber used to build pallets varies greatly from area to area. I've seen them built from mahogany, pine, oak etc.

A lot of pallets get treated with pesticides. You may want to check this link before starting. It talks about the different markings on the pallets, and what they mean as to how it was treated.
