Rustic Pallet Bars Get Parties Started

I built each one of these Rustic Pallet Bars using three to four pallets. I make many different styles, based on a basic frame & design.

Grab three pallets and build a version of these Rustic Pallet Bars for your backyard!

Tools & supplies used on my projects:

• 18-gauge nail gun
• Router
• Circular saw
• Hammer
• 3″ finish nails
• Carpenter’s wood glue between the wood joints
• 3″ screws (on the 2×6″ trim boards)
• Safety glasses
• Leather work gloves
• Paint (on some bars)
• Stain (on some bars)
• Jig saw, or band saw
• LED lighting (on some bars)

I use reclaimed 2″×6″ wood cut to 42″ inches. Additionally, I use 2″×12″ boards cut to 5′ Long for the bar tops and. I cut more 2″ x 12″ boards to 27″ for the sides. Then I pressed all the wood before painting. Allow the wood to dry thoroughly before sanding down to bare wood.  I cleaned the boards off with mineral spirits before applying several coats of semi-gloss polyurethane.

Add a Vertical Pallet Planter – even on the front of the bar!  Create a Porch Swing Hanger for Mason Jar Lighting.
