So...I have two boys. And I wanted an outdoor table big enough to seat us all. Most of the tables out there are really expensive and involve glass. Not a good combo when combined with two boys.
Enter my favorite medium, the pallet. Free. Durable. Boy tough. Done!
All I had to buy was the wood to build the frame/legs using treated lumber.
The boys immediately started using it as a fort, the perfect size for one! I took it one step further and added a hammock underneath that they LOVE to hang out in, especially Aaron.
It's the perfect little hidden place and as a bonus, both boys can use it at once, comfortably.
The top is a teeny bit uneven, wonky, sanded and lovely. In other words "will not be harmed by little boys".
I also built a couple of benches to use as seating, also from pallets except for the legs.
I can't really offer any plan for building one...I started with the pallets face down (using six of them), figured out a way to frame them all together, nailed and screwed it all together until I was sure it was stable.
Basically I made it all up as I went along. But I thought you might like the inspiration.
Made anything fun and cheap lately?
