The whole deck cost about $200 and most of that was for the thompsons water seal..simalar to the last project use you imagination and be inovative and you too can build big with very little!!!!
Wow that came out super nice man!!!!!!! Great job!!
very creative use of the pallets, that’s thinking outside the box….awesome job!!
Wow. Fantastic stuff YiKKiT! Awesome job dude. Funny timing on the post, I just went to the dump yesterday and dropped off a half dozen pallets! Man…….
How did you find so many identical pallets? I’ve built a few projects out of pallets but that is really innovative, couldn’t pull it off where I live though because the only way to get that many identical pallets would be from a concrete distributor, and they put a $30 deposit to get them back from the lumber yards, so they’re guarded like gold.
Looks good and was very good on your wallet too. Can’t beat that. Looks like you will be having some good BBQ the rest of the summer.
Nice job..!!!
Looks good, did you pressure wash before sealing??

My mom works for a laboratory corporation that does a lot of shipping and has hundreds of these pallets..I should do more pallet projects but this is the only one we’ ve done!!
Keep poking around you might find some good ones!!!
Good job, the whole thing looks nice.
