Cheap and easy DIY Farmhouse Style Pallet Wood Deck with Repurposed Treated Wood Fence Post Cut Offs [Pallet Deck] "How to" style instructional step by step tutorial. The first thing I did was dig out the area a little bit so I could place my bricks level as well as the correct depth so the top of the deck would be the same height at the porch. While digging this out I made a very cool find. An old axe head!! Looking forward to the refurb on it. Once I got the area dug out I placed the bricks for all four corners at the correct depth as well as level. Then I put the old treated wood fence post cut offs in place on top of the bricks as the foundation. I then made sure they were square before I tacked them in with a brad nailer simply to hold them in place enough to start placing the pallet slats on top for the decking. Now it was time to measure and cut the pallet slats for the cross members for the the top decking. Once the pallets slats were all installed I installed some border trim on the edges for edge protection as well as a more finished look. Then it was basically done aside from filling the dirt back in around it and staining it. I used some used motor oil as stain and it gave it a nice look. I always like the idea of reusing old materials that may have otherwise gone to the landfill and reusing them giving them a fresh and useful new life.
