Have you ever built a piece of furniture? I never thought I could, until I made this DIY Pallet Bench last summer! I’m Amy, aka One Artsy Mama, and I am always in search of projects that are affordable, simple, and fairly quick to create.

On my blog, I share everything from furniture up-cycles and DIY projects to Hand Lettering tutorials in the hopes that even people who don’t feel particularly crafty will see that they really can create fabulous things!

Today, I am so excited to be here to share my bench made from wooden pallets with you so that you can see how honestly do-able it really is and maybe try it for yourself. It only takes a few supplies to make, and it’s the perfect addition to your backyard or outdoor space.

We have ours as shown in our rose garden- its the perfect garden furniture! But it would look great on a porch, patio, courtyard or balcony you name it. This pallet outdoor bench is my new favorite!

Questions and Answers:

Q. How many pallets does it take to make a bench?

A. For this plan you will need three. Unless you alter it slightly you could get away with two, but you will need an extra 2×4 to make that work.

Q. How do you make a bench out of one pallet?

A. If you are following the plan above, you cant. You need at minimum two and some extra 2×4’s but ideally this plan will need three full pallets- but will have left over wood for other projects.

If you wanted to make a bench from one pallet, it would be possible, but it would be a different design, and probably require taking the whole pallet apart for pieces and rebuilding.

Q. Is pallet wood sturdy?

Pallets can carry a lot of weight, so they are built to be sturdy. Depending on the state of your pallet, (old vrs new) they can be in different states of repair. If you have an older pallet, it may need to be re-secured with added nails or screws before cutting them into pieces and building this plan.

Q. Is pallet wood good to use?

If you are sure that the pallet wood has not been exposed to chemicals, then it should be a great option and a great way to recycle or upcycle something that is no longer being used.
