A small platform for the movement and storage of goods gain popularity as a building material. Thanks to the infinite wit of the Russian vacationers, sites grow solid construction of the pallet. Some ideas of the construction of "utility" designs deserve attention and implementation.
Fence from pallets
In fact, vertically mounted pallets — nothing like the finished fence. Moreover, it is quite suitable for a suburban fence height 120 cm Although you can do a higher fence.

Between the pallets connected by staples, bolts or screws and are attached to dug into the ground the metal pole. Under the supports prepared pits half a meter deep, covered the drainage of sand or stones and fill in the installed steel with concrete. The recommended distance between the posts is about 250 cm
You can secure the pallet and horizontally. Stacked in such a way in two rows, they create a fence 160-centimeter height. To make it look more attractive, plates cleaned of dirt, primed and coated moisture proof paint.
The thickness of the pallets allows you to use the top edge for installing the flower boxes — they are very decorate the fence. Will serve a building for at least 10 years.

Decorative screens
Another type of fencing — screens emitting area on a large country site. In the gaps between planks to reinforce the boxes with plants. In the early summer planting will grow rapidly and hides the wooden planks. As a result, when you look at the blooming wall no one will know that the basis — the most common pallets. Use them for landscaping and country structures.

The barn
This is a more complicated structure. Start construction with the Foundation. The capital Foundation is not needed, but many craftsmen use for this purpose tires. They must be of the same diameter and width. Dug 20-40-santimetrov deepening of dub and laid two layers filled with sand, gravel or clay tires. Cover them with roofing felt, on the perimeter of the formwork boards, are placed metal rebar and pour concrete. The surface must be absolutely flat. After a week, you can begin construction of the shed.
But remember, the "rubber" of the Foundation has a significant limitation: because of the harmful substances secreted by the tires in the heat, they are not recommended for use in regions with hot summers. There is better to consider the possibility of arrangement of pier Foundation. Whatever the choice, the Foundation size must be a multiple of parameters of the pallet (usually 80 x 120 cm).
At the corners of the Foundation establish a stand of timber with a cross section 10 x 10 cm, it is used for the upper and lower trim. Wall is assembled from pallets. The inner side of their fixed boards, mounted on the outer sheets of plywood. To protect the facade from rain cover suitable for this purpose, the paint or trim siding.
The ceilings are made of boards and covered with sheets of chipboard. The barn is usually built for continuous use. So you need to take care of roof flashing and practical roofing materials.
Install the left door and necessary for the economy construction is finished. Analogy of the pallet erect a gazebo. The only difference is the height of the walls, the structure for relaxing the spacious entrance and laying moisture-proof floor covering.
Coop
Useful pallets wishing to engage in domestic poultry. The seasonally adjusted country coop, wooden construction suitable for its construction better than any other material. Walls "grow" quickly, the Foundation is not needed. Plywood sheathing to anything, let fresh air enters inside. And additional lighting will not be superfluous. Only the pros. Well, if you decide to build a bird for something more permanent, you could use a recommendations on construction of the shed. The Foundation to make a columnar to a rubber tyre does not negatively affect the animals.
Light lattice design, similar to the summer coop is perfect for storing firewood.

Box for dogs
All-season shelter for four-footed guard, fully assembled from a pallet, get a good. Inside and outside moisture-proof pallets covered with plywood while simultaneously establishing the thickness of the vertical and horizontal surfaces of the heater. The roof is treated with a composition for waterproofing. The dog will love this kennel.

On reflection, you can come up with many more ways of using pallets in the country. But they have one "minus" — the wooden structure is flammable. Fortunately, this disadvantage is eliminated by treatment with flame retardants.
Remains the most important — the low cost of the pallets, the availability of construction on their own, a high rate of construction of country objects, and sustainability. published
