A used pallet racking Ireland company such as the one in the link have got plenty of used ones for you and here’s just some of the things you could do with them.

  2. A Bin store. Why bother forking out for an expensive one from a shop. You’ll only need 4 or 6 decent pallets to cover the wheelies.
  3. A summer house den for the kids. Taking care to paint it and possibly line it to avoid splinters a good dozen pallets can make an impressive Fort or Wendy House.
