Repurposing is the best way to minimize the amount of waste when you’ve done some renovating in your home. It is also a great way to save money while adding new stuff to your home. If you’ve got any experience in crafting, then you must’ve already repurposed quite a few items.
Fences are classic, easy to construct, and a nice-looking way to complete the look of your home or garden. Apart from their decorative role, fences also serve to delineate spaces, offer privacy, and protect the property from unwanted intruders out.
Wood pallets should be the first option of DIY fence builders, as they are the perfect building block, are abundant almost everywhere, and are a budget-friendly option(even free at times!).
Here are several reasons why you should try pallet fences:
- Pallet fences are durable, and resistant to harsh weather conditions and frequent vibration.
- Woodworking is much easier than metal-working. You can buy ready-to-go wooden pallets and just join them later.
- They are very convenient and can be built according to your needs.
- You don’t need brand new pallets. If you are a lover of rustic appearances, buy old ones at a reduced price.
However, you should also keep in mind that pallet fences are not very secure, so anyone can easily climb over or break through them. Additionally, they might not be the best option if you want to protect your place from trespassers, primarily because you’ll need something stronger, taller, and with less gaps.
