[@BenDelhorno]

I just gotta say man your production quality is better then multi million subscriber channels. Keep kicking butt.

[@WineberryHill]

I need that...thanks!

[@jondyer4784]

A friend was renewing his swimming pool decking. The company delivered all the old hardwood to my home. All the fixings were high quality stainless steel screws. I made the front gate panel, steps, garden edging...

[@WineberryHill]

Niiice!

[@TheRozylass]

Thanks for the bloopers too, now I know you're for real. What a genius idea!

[@WineberryHill]

thanks for watching!

[@tammyhawley6307]

I’ve noticed that a lot of people sell their above ground pools and say if you take the deck apart you can have it. Seen that a LOT!! Great channel you have going! God Bless you!! ❤

[@WineberryHill]

That's a great idea!

[@MichaelJosephJr934]

Having a pickup truck is a bonus. I'm just naturally hyper aware while driving and I work near many shipping companies. Some of them have brand new lumber out back near the dumpsters from Un-crating special shipments. Also whenever I see a Roll Off dumpster that was dropped off I might stop at take a peak. Usually a remodel job and I found some great pine and stairway railings amongst other things. New construction used to be a good place to look into the roll off as well but now days they usually fence the entire property while building.

[@WineberryHill]

Totally agree!

[@haynerbass]

Great video! Thanks man. You can (quite often) get usable lengths of lumber from construction sites. It saves them from having to pay someone to dump them.

[@Txwag91]

Great idea and great preparation for the demo days. Thanks for the motivation to find free wood.

[@WineberryHill]

You bet! Thanks for watching!

[@titanlurch]

We have a big garbage day in our town once a month from March through November. The metal scrap collectors are out in droves. There are a few people scouring for reusable articles. The good stuff mostly shows up around moving day.

[@WineberryHill]

nice!

[@SeeTheWholeTruth]

You can get ridiculous stuff in college towns. Way more than you want to deal with.

[@zTribalstylerz]

Brilliant! You really are doing them a BIG favor. Dump fees are no joke. Nice hardware too. 👍

[@WineberryHill]

...yeah esp around here.

[@kellymedia99]

Great tip! that is a great place to get bigger lumber.

[@WineberryHill]

Thanks for watching!

[@HeliRy]

Very interesting idea! I’ve been getting my dimensional stuff from construction sites. Just ask the foreman if you can rummage through their skiff of wood headed for the dump. It’ll have lots of cement boogers all over it from laying the foundation. And lots of nails and screws. But they all clean up just as good as pallet wood, just needs a bit more elbow grease. We’ve got two play sets out back. One of them our son outgrew a few years ago. But the wood is still useable I’m sure. The other one we might get rid of next year… and now I know what I’ll do with it all! Edit: Omg… the prices these people want for their ratty old play sets is bonkers! One was asking $400 😂

[@WineberryHill]

Glad I could help, thanks for watching!

[@TR1S10WERTZ]

Wow cool structures im just getting into building stuff!!

[@jimalford6359]

Thanks for sharing

[@davidabberton9]

I’ve sourced some fair quality timber from fencers or people pulling out their old fences and decks. Hardwood fence pailings are great as garden borders or as panels where a ‘rustic’ look is the goal.

[@WineberryHill]

Good tip!

[@imac6]

Awesome video, and great idea! Definitely going to do some marketplace snooping with this in mind. Subbed! 🍻

[@WineberryHill]

Awesome! Thank you for watching and subbing!

[@dagorithe]

I just took my Playsets down. I had to burn a few pieces … the ones with rot or was not salvageable for other projects. The higher altitude beams are saved off to the side for future use. Great idea besides pallet wood.

Many years ago, when I worked in the bedding industry, everyone getting rid of their waterbeds (which we weren't supposed to take by policy, but the salesman all made it part of the deal, and wooden bunkbeds. Not too many waterbeds left these days. I've got bookcases and benches and there was a kitchen table all built from those frames.

[@daveparker839]

Great idea! I just looked and Facebook Marketplace is full of them in my area. Is there a good way to tell if they are made from cedar or treated lumber? I assume the treated lumber is less than desirable. (I’m a newbie)

[@WineberryHill]

No, it’s not bad…depending on how you use it. It actually tends to be more expensive to acquire.

[@daveparker839]

@@WineberryHill True. Cedar is probably desirable if making outdoor furniture (most likely for me). Seems the Rainbow sets and Costco sets are cedar although Costco is likely from China so who knows what you’re REALLY getting.

[@WineberryHill]

True, hard to know...but we do our best.

[@HappyGobo]

I've done this before, and old decks as well.

[@WineberryHill]

Nice!

[@WhiskeyWood_Studio]

One thing people need to consider with a lot of the play set wood is that it’s been treated before. Not necessarily a deal breaker, just depends on the project. You also obviously need a trailer to help haul off all of the parts and then dump the remaining so not exactly viable.

[@benjessikarogers1187]

I found also going to static caravan parks asking for wood that would usually just get burnt on a hill, or whatever way they dispose of is a good idea, dismantling old deckings from static caravans, helps the company spending on labour dismantling and gives them a good name that they reuse old materials. I also said its a half charity business i have, i dont charge for any materials i have got for free, just labor. Including the labour to dismantle it. Any businesses that are big and dont care for salvaging good wood thats been used Especially when they are about to have a visit from managment and they need things cleared

[@WineberryHill]

Great tips!

[@carolp6433]

Probably a dumb question here, but what are static caravan parks and why would they have lumber worth collecting / dismantling?

[@urbanagmike]

Used wooden play sets makes a ton of sense. I want to think in that same way that makes full use of things at all stages of their life cycle.

[@WineberryHill]

Yep, lots of stuff around.

[@michellethompson7090]

[@phillipkinney7896]

I have taken down wooden handicap wheel chair ramps for the lumber

[@WineberryHill]

Good tip.

[@danielzimmerman5837]

You should probably leave those as the people in wheelchairs can't use stairs. 😂😂😂

[@johnhubbard6262]

You're spot on - I ran a construction company for a property mgmt. company and I cant count the amount of playsets, garage storage or benches, and even sheds that we had to remove when properties got rented. I even ended up with Tony Gwynn's pitching machine from one back yard. (Soon to be my 72" grinder.

[@WineberryHill]

Score!

[@thecitiots]

I do the same with people replacing their decks.

[@WineberryHill]

Smart!

[@SeeTheWholeTruth]

Your compost got worms? Needs some? Know how to spot worm areas? You dont have to dig em up. You can use "worm churning" collect and deposit them within. Show them that, speeds up your decomp and has other uses as well of course. Cheers.

[@WineberryHill]

Yep, massive amounts of beautiful worm.

[@tammyhawley6307]

I toss a blanket down then lift it in a few weeks! Tons of worms are beneath it.

[@DaraHijazi]

Where to search those people, and what under what name should I search, please?

[@WineberryHill]

Mr and Mrs Wooden play set!

[@DaraHijazi]

@@WineberryHill what is this?! I mean what platform should I search in, and under what search topic should I look for the big lumber ?

[@WineberryHill]

Search for wooden play sets in online marketplaces like facebook, craiglist, offerup...etc

[@DaraHijazi]

@@WineberryHill aha!! Now got it 😀thanks 👍🏻

[@brokenvessel4171]

I worked as a custodian at a college. At the end of the year when all the students were taking down their lofts and throwing the lumber in the dumpster...well you know the rest of the story....

Great find!
