I have watched ever DIY pallet patio video made since 2020 and yours is my absolute favorite. The way you work together is so cute and your work is fabulous simplicity. As a African American woman I just love y'all Aussie folks charm
Thank you so much @KayDurrant That is so nice of you to send us such an awesome comment! We really appreciate your kind words and support! ✌
Absolutely amazing.. my kids and I (single mom) also work with pallets. So far we have made a bench, kitchen table, coffee table, bookshelf and next project will be garden beds. The boys learnt a lot doing these projects ☺️ I have always wanted to do a deck.. it’s so beautiful and rewarding ! Thank you for sharing ! Also, the team effort you two share is phenomenal ! Peace and Lots of Love from Alberta Canada 💕
Thank you so much Barb Ara for your kind words. We get a greater sense of accomplishment when we complete joint projects like this. Would love to see some pics of your pallet projects and good luck with your garden beds. We also have garden beds made from pallets. Canada is such a beautiful part of the world, we spent some time camping in B.C. and absolutely loved it! Thanks again for your positive feedback, we really appreciate it.
New sub because you reminded me of me and my husband. We always work well together married 32 years now .
Thanks for that Desiree. Always nice to hear from people that have a great relationship, congrats on the 32 years!
Hi there, I don"t know what I enjoyed more, your beautiful work or how wonderful you two work together
Thank you so much Evangelina, we really do appreciate your kind words. We do enjoy the fact that when we complete a project we can sit back and say '' we did this together " It is a nice sense of accomplishment. Thank you again for your support and such positive feedback.
My husband keeps talking me out of using pallet wood for a deck. Thank you for posting . There is no way he is talking me out of it come spring/ summer even if I do it without him
You're welcome @mullinsadventures9262 Glad you enjoyed the video. Good luck with your deck project! Send pics! ✌
Facts girl, I'm doing it too!
@@KayDurrant You go girl! ✌
What's the reason he doesn't want to use pallets for a deck? Thanks
True Aussie, chopping up wood in the old Japanese safety boots! Great job guys, love your work!! 😊
Cheers mate! Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for your great feedback! ✌
Wish all the couples worked together like you do!!. Great teamwork!
Cheers Bassetto, we really appreciate the kind words. We feel a greater sense of accomplishment when it is a shared experience. It's nice to sit back and say "We did this together".
Love it. Thank you. Consudering decking some of my space that is on gravel.. The wood needs to be saturated with a preservative in my case. However, this would be ideal if you need for a season or occassion. For longer, strongly recommend digging out organics at each concrete spot and pouring and packing a pint of crushed stone into the earth. Consider covering the grass with a bag of diatomaceous earth to reduce wood eating insects. When things get rotted, bigger critters start to move in!
Thank you so much @ingridw3900. Good luck with your project! ✌
Love seeing how they work together❤️
Thank you so much @theresaboyd2161. We really appreciate your support. ✌
This is exactly what I was looking for. I have access to pallets but was not sure of a good technique for a much needed deck. Awesome teamwork as well. I'm the builder in the family. Hubby always thinks he'll make a mistake so I get rewarded with chocolate for all my hard work. Thank you again for this wonderful video. Be blessed ☺️
Thank you so much Chavione, we really appreciate your kind words. Good luck with your deck project and your continued supply of chocolates!
Looks like they're pretty fond if pallets, the fence looks like pallets too. Great idea
Thank you so much @msmedy71. We do love our pallets! ✌

It came out great.. We've been planning on too.. I think a sponge mop would have done the staing a little easier..
Thank you so much @sandragentz9442 ✌

Good luck with your future projects Ernestine. Hope you can find a level playing field! Sorry, that's my Australian sense of humor!
I thought about using pallets awhile ago. Cuts down on the base work. I decided to check out CZcams to see if anyone was doing this. I'm going to do this using plastic palletts. I live where it gets cold and humid. Then Im going to use deck tiles on top. I can't recall what the black underlayment us. Is it the same stuff used for plant beds? Not sure if youre still in Australia, but that looks like a good place for those Huntsman spiders to live! You have some real scary critters down under!
@KAL829 sounds like a great idea! Any type of weed mat would be fine, we haven't had any evidence of the grass growing through. I actually live in S/W Missouri, but i don't have fond memories of the Huntsman, i used to freak out my sister when i would kill them with an open hand smack! Good luck with your project, sounds very cool ✌
I love you pallet fence also,you two are self efficient 👍,great job,you two
Thank you so much Angela. The main reason i built the fence was to have a secured area for Jaz to run around. It took 69 pallets to form the perimeter of our side yard which Susie can confirm as she spray painted every pallet. Thanks again for your kind words, we really appreciate it.
Wow 69 pallets amazing,congratulations on a amazing job to you both!!!!! Looks beautiful!
@@angelapeer2494 Thank you so much, we love the positive feedback and if we can inspire people along the way, then even better.
@@angelapeer2494 Thank you so much, we love to hear such positive and kind feedback from people like yourself.
I love this
Thank you so much @jennifermccullough9705 ✌
Deck turned out wonderful and I been thinking to do the same. Please please tell exactly what materials you used including the tools. Thanks. 😊
@chevonnchapman8322 the entire deck was made with pallet boards and the tools used were a circular saw, reciprocating saw, electric drills and a belt sander.
Wonderful job. Very inspiring DIY!!! Thumbs Up
Thank you so much B L C SCOTT, we really appreciate the positive feedback. We are so happy when we can inspire people to have a go at DIY projects. Thanks again!
Your team work is Topnotch
Thank you so much Laverne. We really appreciate your kind feedback.
Very nice! I’ve been looking for something quick and budget-friendly to spruce up an odd area/angle in my backyard. I’ll be back to see the end results.
Thanks very much, we're glad you enjoyed it. Good luck with your project. Let us know how it goes, we really enjoy the feedback. Thanks again.
Nice Work
Cheers Tim, glad you liked it!
Exelent work guys, cograts
Thank you so much Ramon. We really appreciate your support ✌
thanx
You're welcome @larrypahl5756 ✌
Love this idea.
I live in the uk alot of rain. I remember a friend using this idea but in the winter it was so so slippery. Have you any ideas to tackle the slippery deck. Im moving into my forever home very soon and would love having ago at this if i can find a way to stop it getting so slippery when the weather is bad.
❤
Thanks you so much @babebabe4. One idea that comes to mind is before you apply your last layer of poly, you could brush a layer of fine sand with a broom then apply poly over that surface. Just a thought.Either way, good luck with your project & stay dry! ✌
This is awesome I can do this
Thank you so much. Good luck with your project.
Good Great ideal 👍
Thank you so much @thefruitofthespiritministr8539 ✌
Love this♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🏆
Thank you so much Johnnie Pegues
Great video
Are the top wood treated wood. ?
Yes @alexm20112012 it is treated wood plus the stain gives it added protection as well. ✌
Congrats, great deck and always easier with two people. Great teamwork too. 👍🏻👍🏻🌻🌻🇺🇸
Thank you so much Jessi, we love doing projects together and we really appreciate the positive feedback.
Turned out amazing how many pallets did you use
Thank you so much @jeanwhiting4144. We used about 12 pallets to cover the 6 pallets we used as the base. ✌
Awesome job you guys💪. Just one question please how far apart are the pavers would you say? I can always count on amazing people to help those like myself make these awesome projects😁😁😁✌️✌️
Thanks for that Tara. The center of each paver is 48" apart, which allows both pallets to be on the one paver. This would apply to any size pallet you intend on using for your project. Plus it makes it easier to level out your pallets and ground surface by placing two pallets on the same paver. Hope this information is helpful. Good luck with your project and feel free to text back if you have any further queries. Thanks again!
What was your angle cut method? It looked like you just eye-balled it without precision, but the result looks perfect along the wall. Ah, I see: 7:14 to 7:29 set up to chalk line spring-slap-hit.
Thank you so much for your feedback Bon, we really appreciate you taking the time to comment on our video.
Very nice pallet deck. What is the wood slates material you used for the decking top?
@lynneboyer3197 thank you so much. We used pallet boards for the deck top.
@@kinlockskorner6862 Did you disassemble a pallet for these?
@@jenniferdawkins4279 we actually purchased a pallet load (shrinkwrapped) of pallet boards from a recycle pallet company.
Love the deck! How did you make the pallet fence?
Thanks Katherine. I dug out a trench and laid the pallets (66 in total) on their sides giving it that picket fence look. Each pallet was attached with a metal cleat (they are metal plate about 3"x 2" with spikes on the underside) The cleats are shown in the DIY pallet deck video. Each pallet also has a 2' long pallet board hammered into the ground where the pallets butt up to each other and screwed into the pallets for added support. This was done on both sides of the fence (inside and outside) I hope this information was helpful for you and thanks again for your feedback, we really appreciate it.
Did you secure your pallets to the paving stones? If not, has your decking area moved?
With the weight of the pallets as well as securing the pallet boards(deck) to the pallets we didn't feel the need to secure them to the pavers. It turned out to be a very solid structure. Thanks for asking! ✌
What did you use for the top? Just deck boards? You did not mention, just went at it.. looks great and giving me some good ideas
We used pallet boards
@@kinlockskorner6862so you two dismantled a bunch of other pallets to reclaim the boards? I am looking at doing a 20’x13’ deck out of pallets, no idea how many I would need to take apart to have enough deck boards
@@derek5 i bought a pallet(shrinkwrapped) of pallet boards already dismantled from a local pallet co. But to give you a rough estimate, an average pallet is approximately 4' x 4'. So going by your dimensions, you'll need around 18-20 pallets unless you find a place like i did that sell pallets of pallet boards. Hope this helps with your project ✌
Great job. How many pallets total did you need to collect to complete the job? Thank you.
We used 6 chep pallets for the base/foundation and around 10 plain pallets for the deck floor and side panels. Thanks for your feedback, we really appreciate it.
Great video! I am hoping to do this myself. I am a new homeowner and tool challenged, so forgive me, but how were you two reattaching the boards to the pallets? Was it a drill to start the hole for a screw and then screwing it in with the other drill? If so, what size screws? Also, How did you get all the pallets to stay together?
Thanks Chinea. We did drill a pilot hole for the screws, this prevents the boards from splitting when screwing into the boards. We used #10 x 2 1/2" screws. The sheer weight of the pallets once butted together keeps them in place and are secured once you screw the boards into the pallets. I hope this is helpful, if not, feel free to contact me. Will be more than happy to help out if needed. Thanks again and good luck with your project. ✌
What's used to waterproof the deck? In central MO and whew the rain is coming
Check out DIY pallet deck (part2) We show the product we used to waterproof the deck.
Awesome video! How long do you expect the deck to stay intact for ?
@justinoyebanji6553, dare i say deck-ades!
@@kinlockskorner6862 🤣😂brilliant!
How about the grass underneath? Can I place vigaro blocker?
@jessiecacho we laid weed mat down and haven't seen any grass. Vigaro Blocker would work great. We used that in our garden. ✌
He top planks are removed from pallets or are purchased wood planks?
We purchased these as is, from a local dealer. The top planks are just pallet wood we pulled off other pallets.
Hi I have a question did you guys use treated wood?
The pallet boards were heat treated.
Ll the grass actually grow up through when no light will be there with the deck ontop?
It's been a year since we built this, and not one single weed has come through. I think with the weed cloth and no light, that did the trick.
@@kinlockskorner6862 thanks, I'm thinking maybe it was an extra maybe unneeded step. Do you think the cloth is required at all? As the deck ceases any light from being able to hit the soil?
@@jasonmoroney7962 it's hard to say, but if that cloth roll isn't an option, throwing down some cardboard underneath would serve the same purpose.
❤❤❤ Super 👍👍👍🇫🇷
Thanks so much for your support and feedback. We really appreciate it! ✌
What type of wood is used on top of the Pallets?
@JimmyJohnson-nq3tg treated pallet boards
How many coats of stain did you do?
One coat of stain
Hi, nice work. Where did you buy the pallets and how much does it cost for each?
Thanks Helen. We bought the Chep pallets for $3 each from our local grocery store. We also bought a pallet load of pallet slats (4' x 4' x 6') which equated to approximately 400 slats, from a Pallet Company we found on FB Marketplace. Those 400 slats cost us $50, which was quite reasonable when you consider how many pallets you would have to break down. Glad you enjoyed our project!
@@kinlockskorner6862 thanks for the quick response..did you get it from walmart?
@@helenmeneses6822 No, there is a small grocery store nearby. You can check on Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist in your area for pallets.
I see that you placed down plastic befor you began where did you purchase the roll how many for the square footage of your project Should be purchased?
Ernestine, here is the link to the weed mat that were purchased : amzn.to/3S3EQjP the roll is 3' x 50'
Where did you get the top boards from?
From a recycle pallet company. They sell pallet boards by the pallet(shrinkwrapped). They are a local company about 40 minutes from our house.
Nice video, a few niggles though as we would like to have seen how you connected all the pallets together and how you connected it to the base.maybe to much hyperlapse lol
All the pallets are connected by all the pallet boards that run diagonally across the pallets as shown in the video. We didn't feel the need to connect each pallet individually as the amount of screws connecting all the pallet boards to the pallets is more than enough. Believe me this deck is definitely secure.
How big is it ?
Where did you get the pallets? I keep seeing that you should only usea certain kind of pallet due to bugs
We purchased the pallet slats from a local pallet recycling company. I hadn't heard of any issues with bugs but will keep an eye on the condition of the deck.
