- In this video I'll show you how to build a DIY pallet wood deck for cheap. This is a above ground deck but it can also be built under ground using the same method if you dig in a little bit. I used 6 pallets to get a final product of about a 12x12 deck. make sure to subscribe for more DIY builds!

Hey guys ive been reading all your comments. I should have been more clear in the video. Yes I am aware it's going to rot. I live in a rental and the deck was only meant to last a year before I rip it up. Also all of the wood except 4 boards came from free pallets. The only reason I'm commenting this is for the people who are loosing their minds about the rot.
The fasteners alone will cost $80 around here
Ignore the comments mate,everyone is an expert nowadays. Personally I enjoyed what you did,creative and cost next to nothing. Cheers
Good job, I like it. Are there pallets that won't rot and can you coat them to keep from rotting?
You did a good job 👍,you have to start from something, good job 👍
Love it. I’m here looking for a rental friendly deck ideas. Thanks for the video.
Great job! Looks Great and I agree with Gary Warren's comments: "It lasts as long as it lasts when it's free who cares. Made lots of things out of pallets and they're still around 10years later." Thanks for taking the time to do the video and share it with us. I enjoyed watching it.
Everyone is talking about how fast it will rot. I literally had a pallet couch sitting on a concrete patio for 7 years. I replaced it with another pallet couch that I made last summer, and it was still standing at the time. The only reason I replaced it is because we had a wedding in my yard, and I made a stage out of pallets. Instead of tossing those new pallets, I decided to rebuild the couch and make it bigger.
This is on dirt not concrete but hey nothing lasts forever anyways
Why are yall hating on this man. I'm pretty sure y'all can't do half the job he's doing. Props to you brother! I would of just thrown the pallets down and left it like that lol you went all out
Maybe because if someone got the bright idea to actually do this build then raise it off the ground like most decks it'd eventually get someone hurt.
@@danielsmit11 did this guy raise it off the ground? No so if they get the idea to raise it that's their own dumbass fault.
Nice work! Why are so many people leaving negative comments, what is it you expect for $100? He mentions it temporary and a rental, anyone else have any ideas to build a nice sturdy TEMPORARY deck for $100....would love to hear them....😂
Exactly 🤣
The dogs are double and triple checking the work...man's best friend indeed. lol
I noticed that too. Hahah
Your Boxer makes a great supervisor, and your Shepherd makes a great inspector ❤
My favorite part of any construction project is the family dogs wanting so badly to be part of the effort!
When my dad and I poured our concrete driveway in 1976, my beagle wanted to "help" and ended up imprinting two of her paw marks into the concrete.
My mom and I drove out to the old place last year and I looked for the paw prints.
Still there.
Gotta inspect the work!
My German Shepherd puppy ran across the wet driveway of the new house across the court from us. When the first owner moved in she told me she loved the paw prints and I told her it was from my dog lol
There will always be jerks out there being jerks. I commend you for your Ingenuity and hard work. Good for you!!
Finished deck looks good, serves your intended purpose. Entertaining video, will never understand why people can't just watch I video and enjoy a little diversion. Too many want to criticize everything.
Wow! A fantastic short term lasting build for temporary decking. Well done 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾 thank you for sharing 👍🏾
I'm about to do the same thing but on top of already laid 20mm gravel. Such a simple idea and if it rots in a year then fine! I'll just build another. Great job man.
it's beautiful! A labor of love and necessity. The people freaking out have never had to struggle for anything. Sometimes you do what you can with what you have. I love it and and going to do a similar pallet deck project very soon. Two thumbs up.
Free is always better.
I love how ur two doggos are cruising with u every step of this build. ♥️🐶🐶♥️
This looks great! Simple, easy for a beginner and budget friendly. Haters gonna hate. I really like it!
Great job….have made many temporary projects with pallets, it’s really fun & relaxing!!!! All the negative comments aren’t necessary if it’s not for you keep it moving 😊
Oh man, some people are awful. Thanks so much for sharing this, great inspiration for those of us who appreciate temporary DIY. 👍👍
Simple and cheap, but your pups stole the show. LOL 🐶🐕
I love how your dogs are there with you the whole time "supervising" 😄
I used 2 pallets and wood to build a deck for my she shed. 3 yrs later and it’s still in good condition. Great job!
So many haters. F$&k em. Nice job 👍 who cares if it rots. They are pallets you can find them anywhere. This video is a great inspiration if your worried about rot use this as a base idea and then take the extra steps to make it more permanent. I’m tired of seeing all the hate on vids.
The Termites thank you.
I love it the supervision of the 🐕
This is exactly what I'm looking for... Don't want a major investment of time or money. Thank you!
I just say this a few days ago. Got my pallets from my grandson. Working on getting other material i need for the top. I'm a renter too and just need a temporary fix for my bare backyard. Thank you again. If it rots oh well trolls can sit somewhere else lol. Thanks.
If all this people cant sleep because the rotten pallets,
Sit them in small cinder blocks , and problem solve ,
DECK FOR AT LEST 6 or 8 or10 years, depend, if you live in Arizona ,or Seattle ,
YOU GET THIS, OR NEED MORE SHAKEN YOUR HEAD ....
Hi Lucky Bourbon, Ignore those people.
I too live in a Rental, but, would like some Outdoor Space that is Cheap and Portable.
Great idea for an Inexpensive Base. If someone is that worried about Rot, put a Sealer on it and Raise it with strategically placed Cinder Blocks.
I Loved the Deck.
Nice Job.
First I'd like to say, the deck came out pretty cool.
Also, beautiful dogs. Especially the boxer, I have 2 girls.
The pallets could last if you get the ones with the stamp on them meaning they're heat and termite treated. I'm a truck driver and deliver freight to the Airport and all pallets need that incase of a fire or if they go into a different country.
And like you mention on the description, it's a $100 deck. Can't expect it to last forever lol
You had a need, made a functional version with recycled material and best off did it yourself for practically nothing. This is what DIY is all about.
Thank you for posting this clip, this is exactly the type of projects that got me into woodworking years ago.
I build custom pieces with all the saws, clamps, jigs, etc you'd expect in any woodworking shop catering to high end customers and have created things I could never afford...
Having said that, I still enjoy doing diy stuff with beat to hell pallet wood just like this.
It's not gonna age well at all compared to a $18k custom tree bench sure... But it's also not taking a master carpenter 200hrs in a fully loaded shop and a financing company to bring it to life.
You killed it man. It really pisses me off to hear these negative ass Scrooge people in the comments attempting to diminish your work-> Fuck em.
IDK whether or not it's an abundance of wealth or a lack of creativity and motivation these trolls have to not comprehend the practicality of building a cheap temporary item until time allows for other options, but I certainly do.
Keep being handy and keep feeding your creative side... I'd like to see you build some cheap yard art in the same style just to keep em bitching.
Hope you have a good one.
I totally agree!! You gotta start somewhere. This a a good option for a renter.
It lasts as long as it lasts, when its free whi cares. Made lots of things out of pallets and they're still around 10years later .
I like the way you put the boards on the pallets. As for the comments about rot, people buy tires for vehicles but they wear out and rot.
Love this idea! For apartment living? Hell yeah dude! You can absolutely lift it up if they have a problem with it being there. Some owners are weird. This reminds me of a floating deck. It's awesome as hell
I’ve been looking at ideas for a temporary wooden platform to use for an outdoor party, and wow is this perfect!
I'm impressed you sanded it by hand.👏
I love it, I also live in a rental. This would be a great way to have a little patio and not worry about the cost. Thank you for sharing, great video.
Wow. This is beautiful. My sister rents and now has some ideas of what to do in her backyard. Lots of free pallets on craigslist.
Nice job …Lol the dogs having fun too
So, you could put a waterproof sheet between the grass and pallets, and have it under a gazbo/ awning, so still a rad idea. Someone disposed of a pallet by the garages where I live years ago…. and I dragged it into my garden the other day to make a window flower box out of it, and it’s still in great condition after being in all weathers for years.
It looks great and will serve it's purpose. Even on a project this small, most people are too lazy nowadays to just get in there and do it. Hand sanding and all. You did a good job bud.
this looks great! i am going to do this with pallets i have, if i get 3 years out of it i will be happy, going to set mine on a gravel bed
Really appreciate you showing the steps for this deck I will be attempting this with a completion goal of 1 week.
I appreciate this video. Thanks for showing YOUR steps in leveling and laying out the boards for cost effective project. Great job!
Holy shit balls, you sanded that by hand dude! SUPER impressed!
Please come cover my cracked cement patio with one just like it! I will sand and stain it!
Awesome I need to do this for my wife this our last year renting and she begging me for a patio this summer this is the way to go for sure thanks a ton
Lol. Let them lose it! Great job, I knew you knew! Lmao. You can't please everyone. Thanks for sharing.
I especially like the trip hazard boarder applied at the last minute
I love it and like you I am also renting and don't want anything permanent, this is perfect!!
I do quite a bit of wood working projects with pallets and have actually have left them outside in the weather for long periods. Yes they rot down, but it can take a few years before that happens.
Well, I'm glad you found the time to do it. In my area (city), its so hard to find decent pallets. If you do find the free ones, people already grabbed them before I see the post. Lol.
Its worth it to buy wood sealer or even boiled linseed oil as once a few coats of that then let bake in the sun the wood hardens and has pretty good moisture barrier. If ysing free pallets you save a ton and whats a lil blood sweat n tears for your own enjoyment. My biggest issue is finding a bunch of pallets that match. I dont have a wood planer either. So basically I disassemble the pallets treat each piece with preservative then assemble. You would be surprised how many seasons you can get out of it.
Its a great deck,thanks for the video, i also loved your dogs!!
Free wood , alil cool project 👍 ( pple always have somthing to say !! .. 1 year deck $100 !! 😊Tnx for sharing ✌️
I will be attempting this come spring this is perfect for renters fuck everyone else
This is a great deck for people that need an inexpensive solution for a rental or that just don’t have the money for an expensive one. It’s not going to rot that quickly and people need to stop being so judgmental about it.
I get you. No worries from a South Texas renter. Perfect
!!!
Thank you for this video and for making simple .We appreciate your hard work .May God bless you 🙏
The critics usually read books on how to do
They become experts on every thing
Good job for a temporary rental
Creative way to build a deck fast and inexpensive. ❤
This is a nice idea for my outdoor karaoke stage and the building at the corner of my street throw out really good pallets every week for the public to grab
Your work is SPECTACULAR...!!!
Loved your helpers, or should I say supervisors ! Woof woof lol
I love this concept. Thank you for the idea!
This will be great for our seasonal camp!
Hey my friend. Don't listen to the naysayers. You did a super job.
not on the foundation........which is one hundred percent of the criticism.......
Old scaffolding planks are superb too...
Smart temporary way to have a patio thanks for sharing brother
Awesome idea! I had to watch it twice because i kept watching the dogs run around! 😂
All the experts loosing their mind cause their prices start at 10k.
You're forgetting the "temporary " term.
@@triciasuglian4507 lots of people get decking done professionally and don’t keep it forever so if you think you’d like to just try it out before going all in - then this is a great method to follow 😁
losing*
Man you are a true stud ! I wish I could move half that fast.
Love this! I think it’s a great idea. I’m going to look for pallets.
Wow, great job 👏 thanks SO MUCH for sharing!
Perfect video! Love the dogs!!!

Good God man, get a sander. Lol. Neat little build. Will likely be doing this for the coming summer for my new grill.
I like how the dogs were helping the entire time
Awesome job and as for it being temporary a great idea!!! It is a wonderful thing to do something you want and will enjoy. There is nothing bad for doing something good for yourself... Enjoy enjoy enjoy!!?
Thank you this is great easy and budget friendly
Beautiful 🤩 good job 👏
Brilliant! 👏👏👏
Great ..do it yourself project. Plenty of places to get pallets and I just might try it out. Keep it up. 💯
Great job, man! Thanks for sharing. God bless. 🙏🏻
Brilliant idea 💡
Sweet temp deck man, looks great!
If you get the pallets from a distribution company for free then I see no problem with a temporary deck. It's exactly that temporary.
Do the burn on the wood with a torch, will last longer, nice idea. We made one out of pallets and it lasted a few years
Desde Colombia 🇨🇴, Gracias,es una muy buena idea profesional, fácil y económica.
Great job man looks really nice
Very cool idea!
Well Done!Thanks!
Thx u this is a great idea & not expensive at all
Looks amazing man👍🏼
