From pallet to strawberry planter

[AL37]

I made this a few weeks back but only just got round to posting about it.
Its 99% pallet wood. Not clear in the picture but at head height there is a rail with enough space for four hanging baskets for more yummy strawbs.

Looks very good,I'm just about to start one myself but now seeing yours...my plans are changing!

[AL37]

Feel free to copy it if you wish.

That is very good. Well done!

Thanks Helen.

Jen, if you can draw me a picture of a longlistofthings then I can build you one.

I think I have mentioned it before but when I decide I need to build or make something for a particular job, I will keep it in mind for maybe a day or two sometimes it may be months. eventualy I will get an image of what I want and normally I can build it with materials I have to hand.
There is going to be a few things made from pallets by my fair hand over the next few weeks as I have a good stock of the 2.4m ones.

While you are at it Al could you build me a longfeltwant?

Like the planter, that will keep the strawberries away from the slugs etc, and be really easy to net.

A long what? never made one of those before.

Then you've not lived!

Could you build me a prototype of a perfect man....but could you make sure his brains are in the right place please. Then it would be truly unique.

[AL37]

Wonder who I could model that on. My brain is in the right place but I am far from perfect.

It looks great, Al.
My problem with pallets is getting them apart without the wood splitting and getting those big square bits off.

I agree Sunny those pallets are a pain to dismantle. I much prefer the ones with the spars running the full width of the pallet.

No absolutely not! I am going to copyright the design and take a trip to your place just to make sure you have not coppied it.

Ofcourse he can Manda, I am happy for anyone to copy or be inspired by any of my handy work.
