Pallet uses, for storage etc...

Fire starter! Put a couple of pallets under a brush pile, stuff a bunch of crumpled newspapers inside, one match does it. No starter fluids required. Pallets for roofing shingles work great. All thin softwood slats.

I save the good solid oak HD pallets for storing implements on pallet racks.

This may seem like an easily answered question but I always am inspired by you TBN member's creativity. So what all do you store on pallets to be moved and/or what do you use pallets for or make with them for storage. I just got a set of forks for my tractor and am looking for all the pallet storage ideas possible! I have already stacked up all the loose bricks laying around and certainly have plans to stack a few pallets with fire wood but what else?View attachment 626802View attachment 626803

All of our hay goes on pallets, lean one (or ten) against a wall for a vertical garden space. either hook grow containers on or fill with dirt and plant. Get pallet racking and store all your tractor stuff on pallets. Put the walk behind tiller or mower on a pallet and stack them on the racks.

Yep, in wife's horse barn, storage area has stone dust floor. Square bales get stored on top of pallets set on top of plastic moisture barrier.

You really need to write a book with tons and tons of pictures showing what it took to create everything that you have at your place!!!

Yeah.....that sounds like a lot of work for an old retired guy.

But thank you.

I store quite a bit of gas/diesel, and use these custom made wood pallets to easily move 55gal drums:

Thanks for the replies so far and keep them coming! I already have plans to make a few of these drum pallets like TnAndy!

A bar or chain across the front to keep the drum in place might be a good addition.

Was thinking the same thing. Having a brain-fart on the tilt-leveling controls when raising/lowering 55 gallons of gasoline could make a bang.

Also, wondering about putting 400 lbs on one side instead of balanced.
