Pallet parts

Here you have a view of the pallet we are using for this furniture along with an exploded view of the pallet itself. That way you can locate each one of the parts used for the model. Note that some parts might not be used for this specific model.

Building steps

Step 1: dismantling the pallet

The first step is to dismantle the pallet to get the different parts we are going to be using for this pallet planter.

We will use the blocks to close each planter from the side, the red wooden strips (95 cm wide) are placed in the bottom and the green ones (100cm wide) are going to the sides.

Step 2: building the bottom planters

Attach the square blocks from the pallet to the wooden strip that we use for the bottom. Place them in the edges using at least 3 screws making a triangle shape.

Step 3: attaching the sides to the bottom planters

Now it’s time to attach the sides of the planters that go at the bottom of the model. 

We recommend you to use a 3 screws per side making a triangle shape with them, so that way the wooden strip stay strong and does not wobble.

Step 4: build two more bottom part planters

This is how the bottom part of the planters look like. You have to make 3 in total, so the count for all of them is:

  • x6 wooden blocks
  • x3 95cm wide wooden strips
  • x6 100cm wide wooden strips

Step 5: building the planters for the top

To build the planters that we place at the top it is about the same process: red wooden strip for the bottom, two greens on the side and closing the edges with a wooden block.

You need to build two of them. 

Step 6: finishing the model

Remember that, like we said in the description, you can always change and adapt the design to your taste.

When you finish we recommend to sand the model to avoid splinters and oil/paint to protect it and give it your personal touch. Enjoy it! 🙂
