She Took 43 Wooden Pallets, Sanded, Stacked And Painted Them. What She Made Will Make Any Backyard Awesome This project is honestly one of the most worthwhile ones weve ever posted. Spring is just on the horizon. What does that mean? The temperature will start to go up, people will start wearing shorts and t-shirts, and outdoor activities will be back in season. That means barbecues and other gatherings outside will abound! And this DIY project offers an awesome way to improve your backyard immensely through the addition of a patio. All it takes are wooden pallets, which can be relatively cheap and abundant. From the imgur album, redheadfox explained how she and her husband made such a cool outdoor patio out of 43 wooden pallets: First they sanded down 43 raw pallets to make them smooth to the touch. In the sanding, they removed dirt. Then they painted all of the pallets with primer and a coat of white paint, which they used a painting gun for. While they were drying, the laid out a 19 x 13 foot rectangle of geotextile fabric to serve as the base of their patio over the grass. Then, with some extra pallets, they even made some benches to complete the patio! Check out the video belowthis is definitely a must-do DIY project for Spring!
