Recycling and upcycling are popular habits in the UK – waste not, want not is a more popular way of living life than at many other periods during the history of the country. If you are in the market for new garden furniture, you always have the option of building it yourself and making a much better job of it than the big companies, in many cases! You will be able to control the quality in full, and can ensure that you create a design that you will enjoy for many years to come. Making your own furniture will make it less fashion focused and more timeless.
You should choose pallets because they are cheap, often discarded and offer strong, quality wood – they have been used to lift and store heavy items, so they need to be high enough quality for this. You can find guides to building your own pallet furniture, such as chairs, if you haven’t ever done this before.
