Pallet Bench

I've been doing more home improvement things this summer than crafty things. But, I seriously think these count towards being creative, especially when trying to do things cheaply.

This pallet bench on the back porch. Now I have permanent seating for the lake view. It can also be used for so many other things: plants, a grill prop, napping bed...



This was easy to make & cheep (free pallets)!

1) Using a circular saw I cut the pallets in half, saving the middle brace for support.

2) I ended up buying 1x4 pine boards for the top of the bench. Those were just washed with stain before nailing them on. But, after getting a lot of rain, I'm going to coat them with Polyacrylic too.
