In logistics, pallets are true all-rounders. They also demonstrate their qualities in garden design. Many a gardener has already made a whole piece of furniture out of the wooden panels. And what should definitely not be missing in the interior? Of course, the planter. Here you can find out how you can easily build it yourself.
How to build planters from pallets?
To build planters out of pallets yourself, stack several pallets on top of each other, build a pallet-based ladder, hang it shortened on the wall or disassemble the pallets and create individual designs. Beautify the pots with colors or leave them in a natural look.
Various building instructions
There are no limits to your imagination when it comes to garden design. Both newbies and experienced craftsmen can have fun building a planter out of pallets. Here you will find a few ideas with different levels of difficulty:
The classic version
The easiest way to build a planter out of pallets is to stack several copies on top of each other and place flowers in the gaps. This creates a colorful, flowering shelf that has a special charm when overhanging plants hang from the upper floors.
The Ladder
- Place a pallet vertically with the top facing forward.
- Place an upside down pallet on the floor in front of the vertical one.
- Saw another pallet a little shorter and also place it upside down on the lower one.
- Continue like this until you are almost at the top of the standing pallet.
- You can now plant the individual spaces.
Hanging
- Short a palette so that only a gap remains.
- Nail this to the wall.
- There is now room for a small plant here too.
- Several shelves next to each other look particularly nice.
For Creative Minds
Of course, you can also work with color in the examples mentioned above. If you want to go according to your own ideas, you can completely dismantle the pallet and make great planters out of the wood. In contrast to real boards, this is child's play. Since you can usually buy pallets for free from companies and logistics companies, it doesn't matter if you make a mistake.
