Wooden pallete

Options
I was looking to do a few pieces of garden furniture made out of wooden pallets. Was wondering if anyone had or knew how I could get some pallets approx 10 needed. I've asked on facebook and free cycle with no joy. Look forward to any kind replys:)

    But seriously, try some builder's supply merchants.

    Large companies generally have their pallets lifted for recycling ... they get 2-3 pounds each for them.
    We're currently developing a new restaurant where the pallets form all the furniture / counters etc... but luckily the customer sourced them directly as we didn't fancy the bonfire route either.
    Anywhere getting large bulk deliveries will have a full selection of pallets to work of (tile companies are always a good bet)

    ask the local kids hanging out at the local 12th bonfire for them and give them some cash, and a few bottles of buckfast, they will probably even deliver

    I imagine one bigots fire pile is as good as another.




    Depends on how quickly they want the pallets I guess.
