My bro inlaw called and said this place had some nice pallets out so i checked em out after work. Standard width but all 4’10” long. These are all hardwood and heavy as hell, real nice ones looked new.
Theres an ace hardware 10 mins away that i get them for free, so iv been piling 5 or 6 up on top of the brush piles i have on the property and they really get going. I wont be able to burn these cuz their too nice I would like to make a wood shed in the back of my property out of pallets. I think it “wood” be a fun project for my little area outback where me and the boys camp out and i kinda have that area set up like a landing for working up wood i harvest from back there.
Anyone ever keep one of these outside. Just wondering how it would hold up if i put a sheet of pressure treated over hanging the sides.
Well 5 minutes ago my wife crushed my ideas to keep it behind my shed to store gas, oil and fuel treatments in it. She wants to put it on our screen porch and paint it a pretty color and put “FUN” magnets on it. We havnt had much luck with a couple of dressers out there for pool towels and stuff. The dressers seem to get mold on them so she wants to try that.
Ok, gotcha. Sorry your dreams were crushed..... Keep your peepers peeled for another! But as to your question about adding PT to it (or the next one), I would seek to keep a little air space between the two materials or some kind of roof structure well above it to keep your hazardous liquid storage cabinet in the dry as much as possible.
Woodwhore I know friends to keep them outside of the shop this is what we found. The bottoms rust, these are also on concrete. so before you put it out make sure you Paint the bottoms with rust oleum and then put like rubber mats or something between the concrete and the bottom of the metal cabinet.
Yeah I have a few of those metal cabinets and even inside a garage or basement they like to rust underneath. Rust-Oleum Rust Converter spray is what I use for stuff like that, although I just picked up a gallon of Corroseal to convert a bunch of surface rust on some steel beams. I've determined that primer and paint often just isn't enough, paint quality is all over the place.
I have one in an unheated garage and it is rusting. It was outside on a skid for a year with tarps over it and that didn't help. I have a newer one in the same garage that was never outside and it is faring much better. But it is also newer.
