Pallet Shed Construction Part 1

We desperately need more storage so we are building a large shed out of pallets.

[@brushbum7508]

Those long pallets are really good for what your doing at that length. Sure can't beat the price. TAKE CARE..

[@deserthomesteadprepping8950]

We totally scored on those pallets! 👍

[@marciarodriguez5756]

The tools are certainly important but using these pallets is phenomenal

[@deserthomesteadprepping8950]

Thanks. We definitely saved a lot of money.

[@z3phyrdok]

I'm on the other side of that tower! Dope

[@deserthomesteadprepping8950]

That's cool. We are always happy to meet more people in our area.

[@wncmartin]

That looks great! Very innovative! We are lookin forward to seeing what you plan to make out of it.

[@deserthomesteadprepping8950]

Thank you. We are hoping to get some free time from school and work to continue the project soon.

[@JosephCompnotta]

Thanks, I have 40 acres NE Nevada and I'm planning on building a cabin out of pallets.

[@deserthomesteadprepping8950]

You are not far from us so I'm sure that you experience similar weather patterns with high winds. I think that a Cabin made out of pallets anchored down well will work great for you.

[@JosephCompnotta]

Yea, I was thinking about making shaped like a Yurt so it would handle the wind better. @@deserthomesteadprepping8950

[@deserthomesteadprepping8950]

That design will definitely be good for high winds, but the one drawback to round structures is that it is difficult setup rain catchment on them.

[@JosephCompnotta]

very true @@deserthomesteadprepping8950

[@kingcatman]

Any untreated wood that is in contact with the ground provides a path for termites to be able to consume the entire building eventually.

[@deserthomesteadprepping8950]

Here in the Utah desert it is extremely rare to get termites but it could be possible. 👍

[@OffGrit]

Looking good! I built one of these a while back and it was “different” we now use it to store our home furnishings while we build. I have to finish the exterior with stucco. Good stuff

[@deserthomesteadprepping8950]

Thank you. I just got done checking out your channel. I'm looking forward to watching more. You are the type of people I think I can learn the most from.

[@OffGrit]

@@deserthomesteadprepping8950 thank you !

[@Gokywildcats11]

Can the tpost come out

[@deserthomesteadprepping8950]

We don't plan to ever take the T posts out, but you can remove them with some effort. There are a few techniques on KZbin for how to remove T posts.

[@marciarodriguez5756]

Is this shed done now

[@deserthomesteadprepping8950]

Yes. It is done and currently in use. You can find the rest of the construction under the Pallet Shed play list.

[@lylahjai3031]

I went to Abbys birthday party 🎉 yesterday

[@deserthomesteadprepping8950]

We were glad you could make it 😊

[@Gokywildcats11]

Were is part 2

[@deserthomesteadprepping8950]

This is part 2ish. We didn't get much done in this episode 😮‍💨 kzbin.info/www/bejne/amOacoV8e5ith68si=F2TFjh_wG5MvHbxA

[@Gokywildcats11]

@@deserthomesteadprepping8950 did you stick something under the pallets to keep them from rotting

[@deserthomesteadprepping8950]

No, they are just in the dirt. I will be going back and putting some oil down along the bottoms. For the next project we will pre-soak the bottoms with used oil before we place them. Thankful, in our dry climate rotting takes a long time.

[@Gokywildcats11]

@@deserthomesteadprepping8950 alot of people mix oil and diesel and spray cabins and fences. Also have heard diesel fuel and transmission fluid works good as a stain

[@Gokywildcats11]

Ever see any wildlife

[@bridgetsawyer4301]

THIS IS AN "OKO" VIDEO.. you should maybe think about showing the "project"( shed build) closer up. You showed EVERY step of unloading and resloading your pallets to START the project yet are 1000 feet away with only the wind blowing while building project.. Also noticed that your son is bigger then you and yet he was only allowed to play in the dirt even thou you could see he was really wanting to get involved but dad just kept going on as if he was not there at all. very sad.

[@deserthomesteadprepping8950]

Hopefully I can do better next time. Thanks for commenting 🙂
