Pallet Creation

I decided to do something a bit different when it came to siding the house I was finishing out. I found that I could obtain pallet “slabs” or the reject pieces from a pallet factory near where I live. These were 36" to 48" long, many with bad spots in them, some a bit thick or some a bit thin. I cut out the good into 18" lengths and put them onto the house like shingles. Most were oak, some poplar. I did not treat them with anything but am letting them weather. I think it looks pretty good and the cost was small. The “slabs” cost me about $30.00 but it took about $90.00 worth of staples for my pneumatic stapler.

Great idea gdpifer, looks very nice.

Creative thinking but I’m not to sure how oak is going to hold up outdoors especially if it’s red oak.
