Just built a tool storage unit for the garden using free pallets I picked up from our local Harbor Freight. Thought I would share some pictures of the project.
First picture is the unit without any tools in it. I used one full pallet for the backside. That will hold my long handled tools. The shorter cut pallet in the front has right side at about 3/4 pallet high and I removed a board on the left side front at about 1/2 pallet high. That should allow me to store my tools of different handle lengths. I tied the front pallet and the back pallet together with some 2X4's from a pallet. There is enough room between the front and back pallets to store 5 gallon buckets and stuff.
Second picture with some tools thrown into the pallets for storage. Better than leaving them on the ground.
Backside of the pallet tool storage unit. I think it looks pretty good out in the garden. Total cost, $0.00 in lumber and just a handful of screws to tie the pallets together. Unit is light enough to move if I want. Strong and heavy enough not to fall over in the wind.
Dear Wife wants me to build another one for her gardens. Any ideas or comments on possible improvements?
