I want to learn the ideas.
Fiona: The “EPAL” pallets (European) are debarked and heat-treated and safe to use. Do NOT use the ones marked “EUR”. They have been chemically treated. When picking pallets look for those marked “EPAL”, “DB”, or “HT”.
i have quite a few ‘european’ pallets – its a pale wood – i just want to know if anyone else knows, would these pallets be ‘treated’ and if so, are they safe to use?
i want to make 2 single beds on wheels [coasters] that can be pushed together to make a double in need but can also be pushed outside onto the patio to sleep outdoors on a gorgeous evening …
This is fantastic. I need to know where I can find some information how to fabricate pallet furniture.
