    Found these on CL for $5 a pallet, my second load now . I don't see them that often so I figured I'd grab them. Works great for wood and anything you need off the ground. I'm currently using cinder blocks and 2x4"s which I'll phase out now that I have the pallets.

    Great grab! Those look nice and beefy too. I recently scored one, my first.

    That’s a great price. They usually run $15 a pop around here. You’ll like em. Rotten pallets are such a PIA.
    Some of the plastic are quite slippery tho. I worry about the wood pushing the cribbing off the end.

    I’m fortunate to work at a plant where I can get as many plastic pallets as I want. They are all slightly damaged but nothing major. Definitely better than using wood pallets.

    You could probably use some deck screws and attach some 2x4 “toe boards” to stop the sliding
