Cheapest place to get a few wooden pallets that are in decent shape...

Some local nurseries are looking to give them away. I would just buy something out of courtesy.

Go behind any business and take them. Wally world. Sams. We have a floor and decor and they let you take as many as you want.

I'm from the AP too - you can get them from the Cotton Gin in Hamburg for free. If you don't feel like going there, I have some in my backyard you can have!! The wife is addicted to Pintrest, don't ask.

You can't just take them from anywhere. You have to ask. Most will just give it to you.

Don't just roll up somewhere and take them, even if they are near the street, most places rent the pallets for various deliveries and if you take them they'll get your plates and report you for minor theft. It just takes a few minutes to ask.

Also, don't get any that have had food or other chemicals on them. Many people have poisoned themselves working with pallets that weren't meant for constant use. The blue ones have usually had food on them and most have colonies of e coli present.

Lastly, wear gloves when dismantling them or get ready for a tetanus shot.

Pinterest and pallets go hand in hand.

I actually built a 2nd row home theater with pallets too for one of our game rooms. What city are you in? There are certain stores and even universities that have massive amounts of over stocked pallets.

Picked up a few from Tractor Supply a few weeks ago...they sell for $3/ea...let me pick thru their supply some were really in good shape and well constructed.

Next to a dumpster.

Got any pics of how yours turned out? I'm trying to get some layout ideas



ETA: How many pallets did you use?
