With both buckets in place, I can add the top layers. Two layers of pallet planks to have the required width. Used the borrowed jigsaw again, the measurements were a bit exhausting and I messed up one piece which was super stupid because I was running out of planks. But I made it with the last full size plank 💪 Really loving this

now #pallets feels like a # worth following

On to the front. Some slats not yet cut down to size. I added some slats on the back of the bottom half of the wall because that will be some kind of door to access the storage boxes underneath. Will cut that half off later and reconnect it with some hinges. Let’s see if that plan works out.
Also this is when I ran out of pallet wood and need to go get more. Haven’t found the time yet 🙈

Time to move it to its final location. Well, I might regret this when I do the back wall, but it also needs to get off the terrace. Bins are on some pallet slats because I didn’t buy enough wood for the frame. But it works pretty well like that. And now we piece together the first side. Found a good distance to the ground, screwed in the slat, and then sawed off the overlap on the top. With a handsaw, because I just don’t have that much power tools at home 😅

Taking those things apart is another story. Since single use pallets are not standardized, some are super fragile and others built like little wooden tanks. Neither means they’re easy to take apart, the fragile stuff might just break super quick as well. So in the end it’s mostly luck and lots of practice. And ideally you don’t always need the entire length of each piece of wood, so it’s not that bad if they break at one end
