Our Offering

We got hold of 5 metre pallets so thought we's get on and start doing our raised beds...we're planning on making 5 to fit in our veggie patch - they are 10 metres long and about 1.5 metres wide so there will be lots of room for veggies and our spring is rapidly approaching

This is how they start off but we thought it looked a bit deep (as we'd have to fill it!!) so chopped it in half..
so now we have two for the price of one!!
Next ones we will take the middle four slats out and cut in half that way - they have ready made posts too.

Hubby is now building a pig hut using pallet timber (pics coming soon ). Great idea Richard it got us thinking and got us to get our butts into gear

Looking good, Manda. Is that a spirit level I see? Your pallets look more solid than some of our flimsy things.

Yep hubby is a bit of a perfectionist (unlike me who would have all sorts going on there!!)

They look great!

5 meter pallets, my word, they do things big in New Zealand - lucky you, wish I could get some, build a house !

A very tidy job there Manda

Umm more like " Good job at helping the very able hubby there Manda" .....Although I am good with a shovel when it comes to filling stuff up (still glad we chopped them to half the height though ).

Yes those pallets are fantastic. I wonder if you can get them here aswell. I could really do with some of those.
The beds look brillant Manda! I hope you'll post us some pics when the veggie's are growing
