I was thinking about making some furniture etc out of wooden pallets. Someone has offered me some for free.

Does anyone know how many standard wooden pallets would fit into a VW Transporter? I  can hire one for a reasonable price.

Any project ideas would be very useful.

Thanks a lot.

I would guess at about a dozen,but its only a guess.
A guy I know is thinking of starting a business making furniture from old pallets etc. Apparently the rich young things love it.
I think its called pikey chic.

Are you using ZipVan? Bargin at £9.50 an hour, worth doing as many trips as you can

Yes I would be using a zipvan.

I've already made two wooden planter boxes and they look nice. I found a pallet thrown out in Guildford city centre.

I would think you'd get closer to 20 or so, if you could manipulate them easily... Should get 2 stacks and then a few stuffed down the sides

I have been offered 19 for free so that would be great.

Can't see that being too much of an issue, although you might have to shuffle them about a bit

Not many pikeys round here but lots of hooray henrys.

How many would fit in a mig estate do you think?

In Sunderland we didn't have furniture. The bailiffs took it all.

I have a 2000 X reg 2.5 Elite.

I often get stuff delivered on pallets, I stick them in the back of the car and take 'em down the dump. I really don't want them.

Pallets are bigger than you think. In my car 8 absolute maximim maybe only 4 depending on how much rear load area you have with seats down, and carefully loaded.

Furniture. Hmmm be careful. The wood quality is really crap. Loads of splinter potential. Any pallet would need a lot of work to be fit for any kind of furniture, unless it's for beavers. You will need a good sander to smooth things down more than a bit.

However . . . good luck !
