Create An Affordable Backyard Table using Wood Pallets
By Kristy Bowen
Wood pallets are an excellent source of durable and inexpensive lumber that allows you to build a great outdoor coffee table on a budget.
Pallets are meant to hold heavy weight loads without breaking. They can be found in abundance in manufacturing and often re-sold inexpensively.
You can simply stack two or three pallets on top of each other. The wide square surface will be perfect for propping up your feet or setting a drink on.
Wood pallets are also a great source of inexpensive lumber if you want to design an outdoor coffee table from scratch that doesn't look like upcycled material.
For a casual boho or rustic look, leave the pallets in their natural wood tone and add a few coats of polyurethane to help keep the surface sealed against the weather.
Use your pallet table alone, or combine it with other affordable DIY wood furniture, like sofas, daybeds, and chaise lounges.
