My previous articles and pictures on projects in the garden using wooden pallets or other recycled wood have featured some wonderful ideas. I’ve been amazed by the response and the articles seem to have also stimulated projects, not only in my own gardening activities, but for other gardeners, some of whom have sent me pictures of their creations. So here is the latest batch of Pallet Projects for you to look at, think about and maybe emulate!
Keep your ideas and pictures coming in!
A play teepee made out of natural wood and recycled pallets
A compost bin made out of pallets by Katherine Jacobs. The front fits snuggly into the sides and is removable. Katherine isn’t sure about the bag- it was suggested as a way of keeping the compost warm and preventing ‘too much’ air getting in- I’m not convinced its a benefit.
My own attempt at a Trellis screen made from two pallets fixed to posts in a public garden for under fives. The screen has diamond trellis fitted to the back, has been stained and will have climbing Nasturtums growing up it.

How did you anchor the posts in the ground for the pallet screen? Are they just driven in a couple feet or did you use gravel, concrete, etc?
Hi Sarah, for the trellis screen, from memory the posts were driven into the ground a couple of feet- the screen isa bout a meter high. The setting is quite sheltered and so this was appropriate. If the screen is to be in a more open site I’d go for some concrete at the base of the posts, again a couple of feet down- postcrete or similar is the easiest way.
Is there no end to people’s ideas?
Seem’s not!
