Anyone made a pallet sofa?
Discussion
I'm in two minds. I kinda like the idea but then I guess it's also a bit naff. The miser in me would do it to save lots.

That's quite a cool idea, practicalities of making it etc. aside.
On an unrelated note our self assembly corner sofa (Nabru) was delivered on a pallet, buy enough indoor sofas and you get a free outdoor sofa

Just built a wood store out of pallets at the weekend and the hardest bit was finding identical pallets. Don't underestimate how much extra work it generates when they are not identical.
I have built a wood store and compost bins out of pallets, and yes the fact they are not a standard size or design is a pain.FlashmanChop said:

There's no such thing as a British pallet really. Pallets come in either standard 1000 x 1200mm size e.g. GKN blues or 800 x 1200mm Euro pallets. You can get all different shapes & sizes but 95% of what is out there will be one of those two sets of dimensions.
If you must work with pallets, take good care chopping them up. Wooden pallets used in international trade are more often than not impregnated with strong pesticides to arrest the spread of indigenous insects. I wouldn't want to breathe that stuff in.
