- Kevin Bentley ( thepalletcabin) shares his "Pallet Cabin" with us- one he made from recycled and free pallet wood. This cabin, at 12' by 12', stands as a great little hunting, guest, or weekending cabin or cottage, or could potentially be used/converted into a tiny house for full time living. Kevin, based in Georgia, (and a tiny house fan) has many other projects in the works, so be sure to check out his Facebook page, and subscribe!
I love this guys resourcefulness using all these reclaimed wood products. It's amazing what some people can do when they put their mind to it. I'll bet this guy didn't even have $200 dollars in this project. Gotta love it.
I am fully impressed! It’s just a complete ruclips.net/user/postUgkxGqOCINHE0Z0E5gxzSdNi9NWGugRY5Hm2 plan with the best resources and step by step instructions . These shed plans are so satisfying as if the sheds build themselves on their own. Worthy work Ryan!
You can see the pride in how you constructed this as well as your skill set. Awesome job. ❤
This right here !!! I've been looking for some kind of way to set up my pottery studio outside...!!! I'VE FOUND IT!!! YOUR WAY!!!
All I can think of is that country song . Country boy can survive .. great job brother
This is great. Thank you for making this video. I know I watched it several times.
Sir you could sell those neat porch light..lol...so nifty... just love it! Great job on everything...
Wow you have so much creativity and talent! This is impressive.
Fantastic. Beautiful cabin, & your dogs are very lucky.
'Necessity is the mother of invention'
amazing work congrats
It might end up a she shed. I love it!
Ye its holding up. Yet for warmth during cold seasons it's not going to work. The heat from your stove/fireplace will got out between the cracks. Unless, you put in insulation with a inner wall.
Love it!!
It made me smile when I heard him say that there going to have a wedding on the front porch... Great little cabin!!!
Personally, I like this video... and his cabin. I think this video is very well done, and he is very skilled and creative... and I like the sweet touches of the planter for strawberry plants and the trellis for roses
love it reminds me of a barn my mother built. she wanted a barn ,had no money neither did i ,so i told her to get pallets and make it look like board and baton . then the next time i went to see her she had her beautiful little barn she was disabled but determend to live like she wanted .Carol Elizabeth Boggs. my mother
BRILLIANT, GOD BLESS MUMS, XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Nice work Kevin! May God bless you always Sir!
Back in the mid 90's I knew a man that had built a barn with pallets and shipping crates he received from a company that didn't reuse them. It turned out really nice.
+TryNsurviveN DO YOU HAVE ANY PHOTO'S OF THE BARN?. :)
MrSnowcatt1 Unfortunately no I do not however, it turned out a lot nicer than I thought it would have considering the type and size of the wood he was using.
Man, that's just magnificent. I really admire your ingenuity.
This man IS ...AWESOME.....!!! His wife is so lucky to have such a handy, creative man who enjoys...refurbishing ...unclaimed wood/windows etc to make such a sturdy cabin!! Like 'all' of his ideas...as he so carefully makes each item !!!
Thanks so much for sharing....!!!! God Bless.......
Awesome!! thank you for taking the time to show everyone!! Love it!!!
A wedding on the front porch. That's just awesome. Good job man, I have no doubt you will use your resourceful ingenuity to finish it up well.
Ain't nothing wrong with that, one man's waste is another man's treasure :-)!
yes regina
Absolutely Nothing wrong with it, I got enough Pallets for pallets for free from Grocery Stores and retail stores that they were just going to throw out to build a 21X24 (504 sq. feet) Cabin on my families land in Northern New Mexico on the Rio Grande River. I have friend who's husband owns a construction company and had him save enough 2x4's and 4x4's out of houses he's remodeled to build the entire thing, I've also been going around to garage sales and buying other stuff I need like my kitchen cabinets (sink included) which I paid $50 for, my bathroom sink which is one of those "mushroom looking" sinks that cost almost $300 that I paid $5 for, my bathtub and toilet I got for free from my neighbor for free when they remodeled there bath room and bought 2 quarts of the avacado green procelin paint off the internet to repaint the tub, toilet and the bathroom and kitchen sink, yes I know I'm weird but I kinda like the green because it's unique and noone does it anymore. I got my 2 solar electric system from an RV dealer that buys and redo's Old Rv's and campers for like $10 each and will be more than enough to run what little electric I will have. I'm not putting a a full size stove in the house, I made that decision about 6 months when I sat and realized that I don't really use a full size oven enough to justify buying/having one. I will have a Microwave, a pressure/slow cooker and counter top air fryer combo that does like 9 different types of cooking which I already have, between those 3 I can and do already cook everything. My only cost once I get down to New Mexico will be the cost of sheet rock, screws and the metal joiners. The only thing I'm still debating on is whether to use Insulation Board or spray in insulation. There's already an old pole barn on the property that I will use the side metal for the cabin roofing after cleaning and painting and then use as a gazaboo after. When all is said and done I'm figuring it's going to cost me somewhere around 6k to put it all together. %04 square feet doesn;t sound like alot to live in but I live in a 400ish square foot apartment over a garage now so it will be an upgrade for me, lol.
I really wish they taught us all how to do this stuff in high school. People should be taught to make the things you need to live and thrive. I think basic mechanics, building a simple shelter and growing food. He obviously is highly skilled. Definitely a blessing. Janice
What a neat little cabin. With a bit of water sealant, it would last someone a lifetime. With insulation, one could live out his/her life in it.
Very impressive. Love the creativity.
THAT IS A FINE PALLET CABIN! Close the air gaps and move in!! Great to meet this gentleman!
Great job Kevin. Its beautiful.
Very cool. I would love to build one! I would like mine to be partially underground, and envision it as permanent, although the ability to move it would be nice too. There's got to be a lot of satisfaction in just gathering some scrap wood and pallets and building something you can LIVE and function in. I love that you have a rain barrel! There was once a time when a LOT more living and working was done outside our homes.
YW, I hope it's fun for ya!
+kittensugars Would have to be heavily treated to be underground because of the moisture. When it rains the ground holds water days to weeks after it rains. Also flooding is a major issue.
thanks for uploading tbis. i enjoyed watching
I LOVE to hear you commentate....when asked if you want a particular treasure headed for the dump, you hear, "I SURE DEW!" LOL.... Great job!
Can you imagine the housing we could build with all of the GOOD materials we throw away in the USA? Housing for homeless - for one. Or just housing for people that aren't into the McMansion lifestyle (self included).
The JemmaGrl exactly. I am planning a tiny habitat like this myself. I loathe mcmansions. does not suit my green hippie granola lifestyle!
I'm not even granola at all - although I'm sure I have green hippie tendencies...I just love the idea of putting more emphasis on my experience than my possessions - and being much kinder to the Earth than I am now. You know? Why use coal/nuclear energy when I can EASILY use solar? Why have to turn the faucet on each time I need water - when it's in my power to get water from the sky? You know...it just makes sense.
Dominique Goyeau Yes I 'totally' agree... I'm always wondering 'where' these can be parked...other than your 'own' land...which of course is the 'ultimate' :).....!!
The JemmaGrl I agree
YES INDEED. There should be no homeless in the USA!!! We see a massive theft scam to cause harm to nations all over the world by psycopathic SABBATEAN FRANKIST Satanic occult new world order scum. Our nation should be doing very well but it is their massive criminal activity that things are as they are. We need to end their debt based currency and declare housing to be exclusively for the purpose of housing people. We must stop evil in power. EVERYONE GET TOGETHER TO BUILD VIABLE HOUSING FOR THE HOMELESS!! Help them create supportive and self-sufficient communities using super food producing technology like aquaponics which creates a vast amount of 100% organic vegetable produce, as well as fish with very little water. Stand together against evil in power. The people are what makes this country great!
I think it's great! A lil dab of motor oil isn't going to hurt anyone. Creosote used to be in cough syrup...we survived. Kerosene & turpentine with sugar added was once used as medicine...not so long ago & we survived. This guy is making his own way, his way. An admirable endeavor!
Built both of my woodsheds out of reclaimed pallets! Also did my 120' long picket fence out of pallets/reclaimed...my flower boxes, and 4) 12'x3'x2.6' planters! A generator house, and finished an 200 sf entire room in pallet wood! I'm addicted!
Great job pal! Lots of work!!
This is more than a mancave.... YOUR teaching people about a future without a mortgage. Many people spend a lifetime in a self imposed work/debt cycle just to pay for a place to store your things and spend a few waking hours in while your not out living your life. Many are paying for more square feet than they use....this includes extra money they work to pay for heating, cooling, taxes, decorating, cleaning, maintaining and insurance....You are inspirational and I thank you for sharing. With a little time and creativity you have created a home that many people would LOVE to live in. The little oil you used to protect the wood is better than all of the plastics and carpeting that many have in their homes that is off gassing daily. 8 hours per day we sleep....many work 8 hours a day...to spend your life paying for a large home that you actually only use less than a 1/3rd of your time seems to be a wasted existence.
He is a sweetheart. Great work
I like your cabin!! Thanks for sharing your ideas with us!!
Wow! What a wonderful talent you have! Your manorisims remind me of my granddad, he was a talented carpenter too. Bless you and your new wife!
Great video and an AWESOME project - thanks for sharing it with us! Hope the wedding turned out nice, too.
I truly love this video. Who sez all americans are wasteful? The repurposed use of (so called) throw away materials is GENIUS. keep up the great work you do & keep posting them here on YT 🇺🇸🤘
Just wanna say, i know its off topic but love your avatar, maximum overdrive was my fave movie as a kid,smokey n the bandit second,growing up in a trucking family, even drove em myself for a bit, lol
Wow, exactly what I had designed for my "no permit" cabin up in the hills of Alabama. Thank you for the inspiration

We could all use a lesson from this guy in humility, nicely done sir!
This is so very creative and resourceful. I love the simple style and variety of recycled materials.
This man is very resourceful and clever. Props to him.
My kids roll their eyes every time I tell them that I am going to make something out of pallet wood! Never anything as ambitious as a cabin, though it has got me thinking. We live a mile from an industrial estate and there are always piles of pallets left out for the taking. The little planter looks amazing too and the lean-too at the side is awesome. Great work fella.
Wow! That is incredible!!! What an excellent way to save these materials from going to waste.I admire your imagination and skill!!!!
I relate with this guy in so many ways.Stuttering and craftsmanship.
Very ingenious Kevin, and impressive to see someone totally build with reclaimed materials. Truly inspiring, you have given me and Idea and incentive to save a bundle on a replacement tool storage shed I need. Thanks and keep up the great work.
I love it. Start a company with EVERYTHiNG made out of PALLETS.
Maybe call it PALLET WORLD ...that's right, come on down to PALLET WORLD this weekend , we got big pallets and short pallets . lol
Pali Aha that's a good bussiness idea.
GOOD LUCK
Love it. The recycling lumber is ideal. Copying the porch. Thanks for posting.
What a wonderful cabin! Please make another video when it's finished. You are so smart and very talented! God bless'
Love it, I'm retiring in a couple years, and moving to the country, and intend to build something very much like your design, great work!
yes INDEED, I'm doing the same thing this spring!

Simply great. Looks like its been there for years
thanks for sharing
This is the best idea I have seen lately. I believe I will start something like this myself and get the grandkids to help
Great looking cabin you can tell it was made with love and care... My you and family enjoy the cabin for many years to come...
I am very impressed with your resourcefulness! I see those free pallets all the time, and it seems such a waste not to use them for something. I'd love to have something like this for a little guest house or even an art studio. Thank you for sharing!
Wow, the colors are perfect. I love this cabin.
Gosh! It brings back memories of my childhood. My grandfather lived with the bears and he cleaned up his chicken coop. For years it was a hunter's cabin. I arrived when I was 8. He lived in the 200 + log cabin part...quite small...and my uncle & aunt lived in the house attached to it...larger but small. I lived in the chickencoop/turned hunter's cabin. My father and brother would show up every 3 to 6 months for an overnight visit. I had bunk beds in the coop. You could see outside through the cracks, just like yours. It was in this coop that I started to write stories. I just love your chicken coop turned man's cave.
That is a neat story. However the sad part is today some busy body would call CPS on your family and you would be taken away. Because the state thinks they know what is best for other people family's , things where so much simpler back when America was still a free country
I SAW SOME REALLY GOOD IDEAS HERE !THANKS A BUNCH AND GOD BLESS YOU BROTHER!
I love these kind of builds. It goes to show you that you don't really need a 3000 square foot house to be happy or call it home.. I plan on doing something like this but definitely insulate it and make it more of a house than a camp. I refuse to get a mortgage and be under anyone's thumb financially. Thanks for sharing this with us and you did a great job sir!. Enjoy this little jem for all it's worth.🙏🙏🍻
I love it. You are so talented. Thank you for sharing your little home.
we had neighbors in rural northern Maine and they would go to the cedar mill and get all the rejected short lengths of cedar logs cut in half that were made for log homes to side their homes with. Well they also had to put something to coat and protect the wood. While they were siding the house they would solicit everyone for used motor oil from when people got their oil changed. They would also solicit gas stations for 55 gallon drums of used motor oil. You guessed it, they too used the motor oil to coat and protect the cedar. You have to admit that was very ingenious of the folks, as the only cost was for gas in their vehicles to pick up their free siding materials. It was a win win for both donors and recipients of the materials.
love it! all the wood grains make it look rustic and cozy, nicely put together doesn't look like a shack put together drunkenly like something on Alaska railroad
Looks fantastic. Such a great way to build structures with repurposed materials. Kevin you're a talented guy!
You are truly Bless and I admire your craftsmanship. Great video
You do nice work, going from pallet wood to a cabin that looks square and straight is not as easy as it sounds, well thought out , it would make a nice backyard workshop also.
You've invented the "Man Coop". I'll bet a guitar sounds good in there too. Really great idea for the fire pit. The creek belched out so much ice the past winter, that it wiped out my 20+year old fire pit. It was made out of large stones when I was much younger. Your brick and rebar idea is just what I needed. I could put that up in an afternoon, and won't have to get another hernia. Thanks . Great video.
The Porch Light Is Too Cute.......................I Love It.
Relax shacks should give a multi tool to this guy for having the best episode. I love this guy I want to be more like him.
What a great project you have made :) Great job. Keep going. And for those that are talking about not using motor oil because it will ignite,...... that's such nonsense. People have been using used oil to treat lumber for ages and I have done it myself. It preserves wood very well and for a long time
KateInTheCity
I love this! We built a 16X16 storage shed out of pallets at 13 years ago, people laughed and mocked us. They all asked who the heck makes anything out of pallets. We are laughing in the end!
one mans silver is another mans gold.
great job nice work for sure.
Lord bless!
dennis
I like your cabin, so very nice and your planter and other details were great. Mostly I just liked you.
Very well constructed. I like the green building too!
You have a natural talent for saving and building. Amazing project!
Wow ! You rock ! this is awesome ! I lived in Lafayette, Louisiana for a time and there was a house there...made of beer cans !!! It is said that he drank it all by himself...true dat !
I love creative and resourceful people! Great JOB!!
That was really great! So many super ideas, I can't wait to use some of them. Thanks for the inspiration! Be Well, K🎪 Yurt Grrl
Living the dream. Awesome job and thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Staining your wood with used motor oil, BRILLIANT! I wonder how it will hold up. Just don't get any open flames near it lol
motor oil actually is pretty hard to ignite. it needs some pretty big temperatures for it to ignite. dropping a match into motor oil will not make it ignite. its hard to ignite for a reason.
smallenginedude71
True but what about when soaked up into a fuel source like wood? I know stumps that we have poured oil onto burn super hot.
95TurboSol yes. That is correct. However simply running a match over that wood or even putting a blow torch on it, will not make it light up immediately. However putting an ignition source on it long enough would make it ignite
You all know used motor oil is carcinogenic, and really has a bad smell.
clean new motor oil is a whole different animal and would work.
This shows what you can do with some smarts and know how. And this is what people
from the country are all about.
Nice looking cabin buddy Good job!
That's a great little man-cave ya got there, Kevin! It could easily be made into a very livable & "cozy" cabin. Good Job !!
Resourcefully ingenious!! God bless you my friend!
That is awesome. Very inspiring.
You did a fantastic job!!! Looks really nice!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Many years in factory. Did some pallet stuff my own shop. Someone brought up the unknown history of pallet being used. Hazard spill from wicked chemicals, not auto oil or common use. If kids are around; scratching their names, pulling large or small splinters etc. Well done carpenter and design work....
Very nice, I could be happy living in that cabin. Well done!
Thank you so much. Very interesring, You are very creative.
Cool Man cave! Very creative! you have given me lots of inspiration! Thanks for posting this nice video!
My godparents lived in a repurposed chicken coop...I loved it !!!
It was long and narrow....and the floor was topsy turvy...but so much fun !
That is so stinking cool! I couldn't put chickens in there either! I love these projects. We need to create many of these found/salvaged cabins. Can you imagine what this could do for homeless vets? 🤗
Awesome Ingenuity at it finest !
You did a fabulous job - I loved the tiny cabin!
You're a very talented carpenter congrats! well done!
the motor oil gives the wood a beautiful color, great idea!
Looks great, no one needs more than that. Good job. You're a nice sounding bloke.
You did a great job! Very cool!
Wow!! Good job brother! I have been building a cabin/house using pallet lumber on my walls! Its 1000 square ft. 2 bed room 2 bath. Its about 85% complete and as it stands I only have $4600 invested! Using pallet and rough cut lumber. I am gonna do a walk through video when I'm done. I posted a video of the living room walls already. Thanks for sharing! Atb. Tony
robo hiker would love to see a video when its done! keep up the great work
yes indeed Amber, I had to temporarily stop working on it. I fell off the roof and broke 8 ribs, and bruises all over my body!! when I healed from that then I had surgery on my neck. I had several herniated discs C3 through C7 so its taking me some time to recover. but i should be ready in another couple of months! I hope!! atb Tony
robo hiker update us
robo hiker 3477944124Where are you located. I am looking for people to connect with.
I like ur lil' fire pit ...That was a lot of hard work on the house...u got skills!
