The Pallet Fence
We had the need for a fence and
since I had access to a large number
of used wooden pallets we decided
to put them to a good use.
This is another example what
can be done with recycled products.
The following pictures show the
end results.
A total of sixty five pallets
were used so far which is
sixty five pallets that didn't
go to the local landfill.
I have been told by the support team of my
hosting service that this problem
is a fault of MSIE and that we will have to
live with it.

I started by cutting
one of the pallets as shown.
These pallets are 39' x 39" (1 meter x 1 meter) This makes the fence 62" high. |
 |
The cut pallet was overlapped on a full pallet |
 |
Then they were nailed together, |
 |
making a completed section. |
 |
They were then loaded
on my trailer to be transported
to the site where the fence is going to be erected. |
 |
Two sections being lined up. |
 |
|
 |
Another completed section. |
 |
Sharon is giving me a hand. |
 |
Now she's concerned that the load may shift. |
 |
The sections are laid out where the fence will be. |
 |
|
 |
The first two sections
are up.
I used steel angle iron to support them. |
 |
|
 |
Five sections are installed. |
 |
I now have six up with one to go. |
 |
|
 |
And the last one is up. |
 |
This is the first of three sections
of fence this length to be erected.
I'll have to wait until some more pallets come along before I can finish the project. |
 |
Wooden posts were added to give the fence more support. |
 |
We have five more sections ready to put up. |
 |
Three of the five sections are up. |
 |
The five sections are up.
The fence is just about half finished. |
 |
Again it's time to wait for more pallets to become available. |
 |
More pallets arrived yesterday
so four more sections were
built and added. I now have 56 feet completed. There is 28 feet more to go on this side. |
 |
We got some more pallets and have the one side finished. |
 |
These sections don't have the
top part but that
will be added as the pallets become available. Right now the objective is to get the back section closed in so our dogs will be safe. |
 |
We've turned the corner with these last three pallets. |
 |
We are now almost half way across
the back.
Another twenty pallets and we should be finished. Once the back is closed in I plan on adding the top sections but for now the important thing is to get it one section high across the back. |
 |
Our property is L shaped and
we want to be able to let our dogs run
down here this fall while we are doing some clearing on the back section. We can't let them run now without being with them and watching them constantly. |
 |
Now I have turned the corner
to go down the
west side of the lower section of our property. |
That's just about all for now.
The fence is finished except
for straightening up the back a bit and that should do it.
For everyone who has watched
the progress of this fence I hope you enjoyed your visits.
