The classic variant

The simplest method of building a planter from pallets is to stack several copies on top of each other and place flowers in the spaces between them. This creates a colorful flowering shelf that has a special charm when overhanging plants hang from the upper floors.

The ladder

  1. Place a pallet upright with the top facing forward.
  2. Place an upturned pallet on the floor in front of the vertical one.
  3. Cut another pallet a little shorter and place it upside down on the lower one.
  4. Keep doing this until you are almost level with the top of the standing pallet.
  5. You can now plant the individual spaces in between.

To hang

  1. Shorten a pallet so that only a space is left.
  2. Nail this to the wall.
  3. There is also space for a small plant here.
  4. Several shelves look particularly nice next to each other.

For creative minds

Of course, you can also work with color in the above examples. If you want to go according to your own ideas, dismantle the palette completely 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 a handle goes wrong.
