Pallet seat with storage

The first step is to build the floor and the 4 legs of our pallet seat box or storage box. To do so we will use 4 blocks of the pallet as the legs, plus 4 slabs for the floor.

Bear in mind that each one of the green slabs (422 x 100 mm) are in reality one third of the yellow slab. In other words: if you cut a yellow slab in three equal parts, you get three green slabs. You can see all the parts in the exploded view of the pallet a bit more up in the page for a better orientation.

To reinforce the whole structure we will use thin slabs 334 x 22 mm.

To put the legs in place we recommend you use 3 screws for each of them, making a triangle.

The second step is building the first wall of our pallet seat box. We will use 3 of the 334 x 22 mm slabs to give the wall structural strength.

In this step we will put together the frist two walls of our pallet seat box. Like in the step before, use 3 334 x 22 mm slabs to give the wall structural strength and attach it both to the other wall and to the floor.

Time to close the pallet box with the two sides missing. Note that each side wall is on top of each other on one side and outside of the other one.

The last step is to build the cover for our pallet seat box. Again, 2 slabs 334 x 22 mm to give it structural strength will be enough. If you want you can make a small hole so it’s easier to lift the cover with one or two fingers, even though we didn’t do it in this design.

The last step is to put the cover in place and check that the structure is strong enough. Reinforce the corners with metal angles if you feel the structure is not strong enough for your weight.
