We did this last year but we used plastic pallets as our base vs wood. That way it will never rot away or break down. 60x12 completely changed our out door living space and makes a great conversation piece for friends and family.
Fantastic tutorial !!! And I have to agree , warped boards can definitely throw a wrench into things ... Sometimes you can water pop the lumber to assist in unwarping it ... Simply saturate til soaked , then place 1-2 cinder blocks on the warped end with the level end secured . (SpongeBob voice) " Several Hours Later" the warp should of diminished to a less noticable state ... Either way y'all did a jaw dropping job on this patio !!! Can't wait to see more crafty creations from y'all !!!
GREAT idea! The pallets save you a lot of money in timber. Love this!! You guys look great, a wonderful team effort, which is nice to see. I am looking forward to seeing your other videos. Thank you for the inspiration.
She was working hard. Great help. I want to build one of these. But I have no help. My husband passed away in 2020. I love to see couples working together. I enjoyed watching. Enjoy your deck.
This is so helpful! I’ve been wanting to build a pallet deck and haven’t been able to find a video that really walked me through how to do it…this is perfect!! Yous did great!
Thank you a million times thank you for the “ain’t nobody got time for that “! Ever freaking tutorial I saw was taking them apart I’m like why?!!?!?!? The whole point is to save time and money damnit! Y’all are hilarious too need a good sense of humour to get things done!!!!
Hello. First love the video, watched it like 20 times. I am looking to do the exact same but 3 times bigger. Following the same logic to use 12’ boards to minimize the cutting. How is the deck holding up after 8 months? You mention putting the boards together but not exactly show or talking about how you did it. And I believe in the beginning of the video there were stakes with your materials but you don’t mention using them. Did you use the same decking screws on the sides that you used for the top boards?
Deck is in same shape as built. I added more screws after video was posted. Same screws around the whole deck. If u want use longer screws. The stakes were use to frame the grass removal area as well as pin the pallets in the space I wanted while I screws them together and added the 1st few planks.
Your family is awesome and the deck looks great. That pool is beyond nice!!! Had you painted the pallets--the deck stays nice for 10 years and then starts to crumble (underneath) Since you didn't, the deck has less than 5 years before soft spots begin and then the crumble is rapid. It would of been nice to use 3" screws so that they penetrated the pallets vertical boards. Your planks may work loose and twist with 2" screws not really anchoring into much.
Good advice. N Yes if we stained the pallets if would've added years but that would've added more time and paint. But since the pallets are not flat on the ground I'm expecting a good amount of time.
@@sunnyvi3wz428 hey I have blue wood pallets in my yard 12 of them how hard is it to level out the dirt our yards isn’t really that bad how long did it take u to get everything done when we are finished we want to put a jacuzzi and gazebo on it
@@curtisnelson7765 The blue pallets are definitely heavier than the others along with the jacuzzi very heavy. With those I would recommend after you remove the grass and get down to the dirt, pound the dirt as much as you can for a firmer base. I used paver sand under 12"x12" pavers on each corners of the pallets to assist with the leveling and not have the pallets sit directly on the dirt to preserve the wood. If you have the time, paint the pallets with sealer to add some more years to it considering your jacuzzi will be a permanent fixture. Hope this info helps.
Yes it is feasible but ALOT more work. Not all pallets are in great condition to break down and use making me have to get even more pallets. I considered that as well but didn't want to spend the time as I would rather finish sooner and spend that time difference with my family.
This is freakin awesome!!!! Great job!!!! Major inspiration to my next project that will follow the example you have given! Thank you both so much for sharing!!! Best of luck!
Wanted to ask any issues with animals rodents? Just curious i saw in another channel kinda same idea gazebo but some one mentioned its a paradise for animals just wondering since im really contemplating doing this DIY. Thank you
Love it. Im doing the same in my yard but a bigger deck. Out of all the videos I've seen so far this was the best and very helpful. Cute couple. Even cuter kids. Great job on the project and in life. Stay blessed and positive. I'll be sure to share my project with you guys as will. Thank you!
You guys are awesome thank you for doing this video so naturally my mom passed away and dad didn't care about the house and get remarried left me the house and was planning to do a deck with palettes and you idea was so simple and more natural yeah no breaking up to seal . Thank you less trouble and more elegant. Where can I find part two?
The base would be stronger if u alternated the directions of each pallet. Hopefully u screwed each pallet together too. Hopefully u left an 8th inch or 16th inch gap between the boards for drainage.
Alternating the pallets would've changed the measurements as they are not squared. All of the pallets are screwed together to form 1 big square. Yes a small space was left between each board not just for drainage but for expanding during different weather.
so today i bought nine pallets the same size and wondered how big my deck will be thanks now i know!. how did you attach the pallets together? this looks wonderful!!
Y’all did that!!!! One thing. Maybe put some hardware cloth or something around the sides so that rodents don’t make a condo under that cool as ground deck!!! I’m doing this!!!! Lol 😂
Hey bud thank you for sharing. Is what I was looking for. I just have a big question for you, do you think pallets will last long in winter time, specially in snowy states ? Thank you man!!!
I honestly do not know about cold climates but they sure as hell hold up through tropical weather. High heat and lots of rain with no issues. My rule of thumb is if you see pallets that sit outside of stores during this type of weather than they should be OK. Otherwise build it with pressure treated wood from scratch. Hope this helps.
Thank you for the video, I noticed you built the deck 3 years ago and I was wondering how is holding on? I want to build a deck and AI suggest me to use joists but I want to use pavers instead. Thanks
Thank you! As I have seen pallets left outside for long periods of time fully exposed for long periods of time. Mine are wrapped around with pressure treated boards as well as a gazebo to help with shade. The pallets also sit on a weed barrier and sit on pavers so the pallets to not sit on the ground and only exposed between the cracks of the boards. With that being said I DO NOT have any concerns of the pallets rotting. At least for my particular build and setup.
Very, very, very respectfully, I just wanted to say: DAYUM!!!!!!
💀
Lmfao
This has to be the fastest & easiest pallet deck I've ever seen. It's a great job
I love when you guys stop-- and smile into the camera. Sooooo Cute 😁😁 Oh....... and GREAT job on the deck. 👍
Solid. This is the best one I've seen. Picked up our palettes today, gonna be using this as my reference. Y'all did that!! 🙌🏼
My father in law and I just put together a 6 pallet deck and these instructions were super helpful! Appreciate the video 👍🏼
What size boards deck boards did you use? I'm using 6 pallets as well
That smile at the end of each segment is funny! Great job!!!!
One of THE BEST pallet deck builds I've seen thus far. Might I day that using the same type of pallet makes for a better fit.
Agreed.
My husband and I are redoing our backyard. I love this idea of a pallet patio deck! Awesome job!
We did this last year but we used plastic pallets as our base vs wood. That way it will never rot away or break down. 60x12 completely changed our out door living space and makes a great conversation piece for friends and family.
Agreed. Slap a nice patio set on it and enjoy that yard!
Did you put wood on top of your plastic pallets? I’m going to use plastic pallets as well, but can find a video on plastic pallets everybody use wood!
Replying so I can look, too!
That is some of the best sanding I’ve ever seen ❤😉
Love to see girls also can do it !!!!good job guys 🥰🥰🥰🥰
You guys are a fantastic team !! Great job , it turned out amazing.
You two are so cute! Love ur smiles 🤩
I loved the smiles on your faces 😊and the deck looks very good!
Fantastic tutorial !!!

My husband and I plan on building a deck like this really soon
Her spraying set me off! LOL super cute! Love the patio deck. Thanks for video
GREAT idea! The pallets save you a lot of money in timber. Love this!! You guys look great, a wonderful team effort, which is nice to see. I am looking forward to seeing your other videos. Thank you for the inspiration.
Thank you for the kind words and support.
It's never been so much fun watching someone use a sander.
She was working hard. Great help. I want to build one of these. But I have no help. My husband passed away in 2020. I love to see couples working together. I enjoyed watching. Enjoy your deck.
Thank you for the compliment and sorry to hear of your loss. Stay positive and push thru, I'm sure he would want you to be happy in any venture.
Just looking how to do decking cheap and easy thanks I will be doing it like this
This is so helpful! I’ve been wanting to build a pallet deck and haven’t been able to find a video that really walked me through how to do it…this is perfect!! Yous did great!
Awesome job!
Probably going to use this for a deck outside of my backyard shed and work it around my firepit!
Glad to hear. A square fire pit will make for a easier build with minimal cuts.
Love this team work
Thanks guys ❤️
Wish I had someone to work together doing things to my house!
You will find your handy helper. Stay positive and look on the Sunnyside of life :)
I feel ya!
Thanks for this video. I have rottweiler pups and I was going concrete for floor in the kennels. I like this idea better.
Glad we can help. Thanks for the view!
Love the team work and the use of pallets. And love the girl power too! Beautiful family! Well done! ❤️👵🏻
Thank you so much!!
2 years later. How's it holding up?
Some boards have a little warp on the ends but still very solid. Thanks for the followup 🙂
OUTSTANDING, thanks for sharing
2:12 🤣😂😅
Awesome deck I need one of those good project to build. Thank you for sharing.
wanted to see how you attached the pallets together
No particular order, atleast 5 of the same deck screws on all sides that touched to form 1 big piece. Hold the form and balance of the full deck.
I am so so happy i found your video 😂! This is great!!! What a money saver! Bless you both!
Best vid ive seen. You actually explain what your doing
Nice work, in the process of doing a patio deck out of pallets and composite boards as my layover
Great job 👍 you inspired me to build my own.
Super happy to hear that. It will be well worth it!
Great Job!!! Its great how you always smile at the end of each cut.
WOW 😯 GREAT TEAM WORK AMAZING results 😉👍🏼👍🏼
Wow!!!
What a great job you both did!!!
Thank you for sharing!!
Thanks for the support
I love it. Me and my honey used your video exactly….. my deck is beautiful!!! Thank you so much for your help!!
How is your deck doing? Has it rotted at all or is it still holding up? I'm looking to build a temporary deck and I might do this.
Look at his smile 😃
Leveling out my yard will be the issue 😣😣
Move dirt around from other areas of the yard and use long pies of wood to drag along the area while damp to assist with leveling.
WOW perfect kids, perfect wife and perfect life. Congrats 👍
I like the energy
Good thing I watched till the end. Miss Parker
What a beautiful patio guys! Very, very nice!
Thank you very much!
......And 3 kids later.....finish deck lol 😂 nice job looks great my guy
🤣🤣her with the sprayer.. I wasn't expecting that..
THANK YOU! Guys as this is what I want to do to save money. How is it holding up? Yall r cute too and love that I ground pool!
Thank you a million times thank you for the “ain’t nobody got time for that “! Ever freaking tutorial I saw was taking them apart I’m like why?!!?!?!? The whole point is to save time and money damnit! Y’all are hilarious too need a good sense of humour to get things done!!!!

@@sunnyvi3wz428 I’m doing the inflatable jacuzzi the intec brand I live in Las Vegas it’s dry here most of the year not that much rain
Very cool..thanks for pointers..good job now gotta go build mines...
I thought the stain looked a little too dark at first, but it really turned out beautiful. My new favorite stain color!
And, two...question...what about removing wood from other pallets, using that instead of buying new wood. Tight budget. Is this feasible?
Yes it is feasible but ALOT more work. Not all pallets are in great condition to break down and use making me have to get even more pallets. I considered that as well but didn't want to spend the time as I would rather finish sooner and spend that time difference with my family.
This was exactly the vid I needed! Great job guys !! Thanks for posting this very easy to follow guide 👍👍👊👊
This is freakin awesome!!!! Great job!!!! Major inspiration to my next project that will follow the example you have given! Thank you both so much for sharing!!! Best of luck!
nice job. this is something we are looking to do, I just know with the price of wood will cost a bit
Its hit or miss on the varying price of lumber and location. But its cheaper than it was a year ago.
what a great job and very inspiring! I wanna see the whole thing put together with gazebo!!!! lol
Definitely enjoyed this build 💯👊🏽 Came out great, and really inexpensive. Keep up the good work and videos 👏🏽👍🏽
Appreciate the support
That was awesome I just got my pallets and will follow your lead. Ty
Wow looks so nice! I'm looking to do this at our rental. We live in Arizona and our backyard is all rocks 😕 but this looks so good! 😀
No grass makes the 1st half of the project that much easier. :) Hope yours comes out beautiful!
That came out really nice...thank you for sharing..
Wanted to ask any issues with animals rodents? Just curious i saw in another channel kinda same idea gazebo but some one mentioned its a paradise for animals just wondering since im really contemplating doing this DIY. Thank you
No issues asides the usual ants and lizards. I used more paver sand to fill in the spaces around the gaps.
Nice job. Your helper is very pretty. Wish mine would help me like that.
Love it. Im doing the same in my yard but a bigger deck. Out of all the videos I've seen so far this was the best and very helpful. Cute couple. Even cuter kids. Great job on the project and in life. Stay blessed and positive. I'll be sure to share my project with you guys as will. Thank you!
Much respect and many thanks. Hope your project comes out awesome!
What is the thing you guys have going around the gate......what's the name...and where do you get something like that
Its Privacy screen for fence. I comes on a roll with grommet holes to zip tie to fence. Comes in different length and colors on amazon.
Nice work going to start on something for my lady
Just do it!
Great job on the deck you guys! 👍🏼
Good choice with the cedar natural!
Very classy look!
I really liked video have watched it a few times… the gravel on the one side is that for structure or decoration
The white rocks are for decoration. The gravel sand is to weigh the weed barrier on the edges.
You guys are awesome thank you for doing this video so naturally my mom passed away and dad didn't care about the house and get remarried left me the house and was planning to do a deck with palettes and you idea was so simple and more natural yeah no breaking up to seal . Thank you less trouble and more elegant. Where can I find part two?
No Part 2 deck builds but we did put together our gazebo and refinished our wood dining table.
That deck came out badass 👍🏼
The base would be stronger if u alternated the directions of each pallet. Hopefully u screwed each pallet together too. Hopefully u left an 8th inch or 16th inch gap between the boards for drainage.

Nice teamwork! I am inspired!
Indeed
love this video working on my this weekend
😂 cute couple.. the smiling couple 😂
Great video thanks for the inspiration!
Still had to buy timber. Defeats the purpose of doing a pallet build
so today i bought nine pallets the same size and wondered how big my deck will be thanks now i know!. how did you attach the pallets together? this looks wonderful!!
Y’all did that!!!! One thing. Maybe put some hardware cloth or something around the sides so that rodents don’t make a condo under that cool as ground deck!!! I’m doing this!!!! Lol 😂
Agreed! Added more rocks around the side to fill the gaps but due to rain it has to be touched up again.
That came out so good! Makes me want to build one but my land isn’t so flat and it shifts a lot :(
Make a deck on the highest point and use steps for the evenness.
How many decking boards did you use
About 25 pieces give or take, including the pieces for the sides
lo hicieron muy bien y creo a bajo costo.!!! lo mejor trabajo en equipo
Awesome! me and the wife have a mission lol
Great video!!!
Oh yeah good job looks great
Very very very very respectfully you’re a lucky man.

U guys are funny! Great job!!
Good outcome c
awesome video but i would have sealed and stained the pallets before putting them together for better weather treatment protection all around.
Great job guys!
Wow that looks amazing
Great idea using pallets to cut cost. How has the deck held up after a year? Also, any thoughts on what you may have done differently since then?
Holding up great! Have had a couple boards bow due to me not screwing on the ends and just in the middle. No issues all in all
What do you mean by you not screwing on ends
How much do you think this cost and how much do you think you saved using pallets instead of a footing type deck?
Cost was approx. 250-300 for deck board, sealer, under deck prep, etc. And cost of using free pallets.... well....
Great job! Do you have any concerns of the pallets rotting quickly? I don’t think you’re treated in any way.
Thank you! As I have seen pallets left outside for long periods of time fully exposed for long periods of time.
