Products made from wooden pallets. How to make furniture from pallets with your own hands? Video tutorial: making a sofa from pallets

Furniture made from pallets today has moved from objects of amateur hobby and design delights to the category of industrial products. But many home craftsmen and individual entrepreneurs continue to do it: it’s cheap, profitable and useful to everyone. Furniture, and not only furniture, made from cargo pallets (pallets) is a rare example these days of a heavily promoted trend, in which fashion trends are organically combined with practicality and benefit.

Why is pallet furniture so popular? Freight pallets are produced in the millions and are used mainly for transporting construction materials and piece goods. This is justified both economically and environmentally: without pallets, compensation for waste for waste, damage to packaging, etc. would require many times higher costs of raw materials, production capacity and Money. The materials (mainly wood, see below) used for cargo pallets are of high quality, but the service life of the pallets is limited: for example. when loaded with working bricks at the full rate of 1 t/sq. m – only 1 transportation cycle; although in reality pallets go up to 3-5 cycles.

As a result, wholesalers accumulate mountains of pallets (see figure) awaiting inspection or sending for processing, and in many self-built buildings or small contractors, excellent seasoned wood, the manufacture of useful things from which is available at home and virtually free, goes to the landfill. Pallets, conditionally still suitable for their intended purpose, but not trimmed, can be purchased at a price 2-3 times lower than the same cubic capacity of industrial pine. Wholesalers will be happy to sell pallets waiting in line for disposal for pick-up. As for small contractors, the typical answer to a request is that there are no pallets? - like: “Pallets? Come on, take everything to...! Just everything at once! Isn’t it necessary to break bricks and tiles?” Such generosity is understandable: used pallets are a flammable material, littering the area near buildings of any kind is prohibited, and warehouses/dumps for cargo pallets must be located and equipped in accordance with all the rules fire safety. The fire inspectorate, as you know, if they notice a violation, they won’t blame you. As a result, tinkerers can get great material literally for free and in any required quantity.

Raw material or material?

To make furniture from pallets with your own hands, you do not need any special skills or complex tools: each pallet itself is a ready-made, durable assembly unit of convenient sizes for everyday life (see below). But, unfortunately, many samples of homemade pallets serve clear examples, how good, strong structural modules turn out to be not very strong, or even downright bad things. The fact is that a cargo pallet is not just a set of pieces of wood, but a material in itself with certain properties that requires some specific technological techniques. They are not known not only by “paper experts” who write something like: “Pallets stacked on top of each other (of course, secured with screws) with a soft mattress can serve as a bed.” (the spelling of the quote is original), but what and how to do with pallets is not described in the manuals on carpentry and wood processing. There is no such officially recognized craft material as a used cargo pallet; there is also recycled wood raw material. That's why Substantial part This publication is devoted to rational techniques for working with pallets, described randomly in various sources and tested in practice by experienced furniture makers and, in part, by the author of this article personally.

What can be made from pallets?

There are so many ideas for furniture made from pallets on the RuNet that just listing them would require more space than is allowed for this article. Some of them are shown in the photo; eg home bicycle parking made from pallets is simply simple, convenient and not so trivial.

Useful things from pallets

For more on crafts made from pallets, we suggest watching the following video, and we will then move on to things the creation of which from pallets requires a more thoughtful technical approach.

In the garden and at the dacha

Most often, garden furniture is made from pallets: wood, even painted wood, harmonizes well with living greenery. Pallets are made from rot-resistant wood; after biocidal and hydrophobic impregnation Once painted/varnished, such furniture will last for years. outdoors. A cheap biocide and at the same time a water repellent for outdoor furniture from pallets - used motor oil. Oil-based, alkyd and nitro varnishes and paints adhere firmly to treated wood. If the product will be painted/varnished with acrylic compounds, then the wood must be impregnated with a water-polymer emulsion. It will cost a little more, but health care and ecology are ideal.

Country and garden furniture made from pallets

You can get a useful hanger-rack for your dacha by simply hanging a sanded painted pallet on the wall, pos. 1 in Fig. By the way, you also need to be able to sand “hairy” pallets, see below in the technological sections. If you add 2-3 100 mm card loops, a couple of hooks in the wall, 2 pieces of rope or chain and a window latch as a lock to the same solid pallet, you will get a folding work table instead of a tool hanger. It is very convenient to tinker with seedlings, soil mixtures and potted crops on this: the spilled material falls down and does not clog the work surface.

Another option is to also place the solid pallet upside down and secure it with L-shaped pins. Pallets are designed for weights of many hundreds of kg, and 3-4 components of the tabletop concrete blocks, left over from paving the path, is not a burden for them. But we have a compact work table that can, without modification, turn into a bar counter on the street, pos. 2. Well, sometimes, out of the blue...

Country furniture made from pallets for gazebos and verandas, pos. 3 and 4, most likely, will require dismantling the pallets (see below) to obtain moldings: long materials - boards, beams, baseboards, moldings. Tables, chairs, stools are made quite like carpentry, because... furniture made from solid pallets or parts thereof is quite bulky. However, it’s not difficult to make a table or stool with your own hands, as long as the material is good, and you can get plenty of it from pallets. Something that is more technologically complex (a sofa, a bench) made using traditional methods is also cumbersome; in this case, pallets will allow an inexperienced beginner to obtain a high-quality product, similarly garden furniture.

A relaxation corner in the garden is the perfect place for furniture made from pallets. Its dimensions and weight are not as important here as the endurance of the pallet. Making furniture from pallets for the garden is technologically possible different ways(pos. 5-8), but in any case the problem of backrest tilt arises, which is discussed further in a separate section. If the back is straight, then comfort is achieved with pillows that need to be taken out/brought in and saved from the rain.

Note: pay attention to pos. 5, not everything is so simple there. Namely, the armrests of the sofa. Finding a vessel with a drink in such a niche is no more difficult than on the armrest, but accidentally knocking it down is almost impossible.

Finally, it’s worth taking the trouble to completely disassemble 2-3 pallets in order to make a picnic set: a table with benches. It can be located in a gazebo, pergola or outdoors. You can move the picnic corner together or even alone: ​​the weight of the finished structure will not exceed 25-30 kg. What a 4-seater picnic table with benches looks like is shown on the left in the figure; drawings of its supporting frames are given there on the right. The length of the tabletop and benches is standard for Euro pallets, 120 cm. By connecting a pair of pallets for the tabletop, as described below, it can be increased to 240 cm, and the capacity of the product up to 8 people, without adding support frames. Connections between legs and cross beams are made with M8 through bolts.

About tilting the backrest from the pallet

The backs of furniture made from pallets, such as those left and center in the top row in the figure, turn out to be fragile. In the first case, the steel screws in the fastening units work in shear and gradually tear the wood. In the second, this happens even faster, because The ratio of the lever arms when reclining is large. The same circumstance applies if the backrest angle is obtained by sawing off part of the seat tray with excess (orange arrow at the top right). The fastening unit (yellow arrow there) now works in tension, but the turning lever is still long and the screws are gradually creeping back.

Enough reliable design backrest shown below left. Here 2 thick trees (pieces of timber) rest against each other and work for compression, which the wood holds well. Using the same method (compression work), you can strengthen products that are more openwork (bottom center) or more loaded (bottom right) by placing spacers or support posts. For a chaise lounge made from pallets, it is better to make them adjustable by making the nodes shown by blue arrows, hinged on bolts and cutting holes in the lower supporting frame for the heels of the rotating posts.

Note: However, the required overall strength of furniture made from pallets can also be achieved using tensile stiffeners. See eg. Below is a master class on making a sofa from pallets. In this case, these are armrests.

Kitchen

Decorative hanger from a pallet in the kitchen

One varnished tray in the kitchen can serve only or primarily decorative element(see figure on the right), because natural wood fits perfectly into almost any kitchen interior. However, most often kitchen furniture made from pallets is made fully functional, here again the strength and durability of the material plays a role.

Technologically the most simple various kinds hangers, shelves and minibars, pos. 1-4, 6 and 7 in Fig. below. Not much more complicated, but much more beautiful and suitable for zoning a living space, a bar counter made of pallets, pos. 5. The main thing here is how to tint the boards of the tabletop; we’ll figure this out later.

Kitchen furniture made from pallets

Rack made of special pallets (item 8) carpentry will not require, but will be needed complete disassembly pallets How to simplify and facilitate it, also see below. The resulting high-quality material will be enough for an amateur carpenter to make, for example, kitchen cabinet with a wine cellar or kitchen unit. The “trick” here is that the material is waste: what if something doesn’t work out right away, pallets don’t furniture array 3500 or more rubles. per sq. m.

The situation is interesting with tables made of pallets, dining and cutting tables, pos. 10 and 11. Usually in tables the tabletop is heavily loaded, which is what causes special requirements to the quality of its manufacture. But the strong supporting structure made of pallets gives solid foundation for any overhead (glass, stone, etc.) or stacked countertop. The latter can be assembled with your own hands from boards and beams from disassembled pallets, see below.

To the house and apartment

Furniture made from pallets has a unique appearance, so when designed for a home, it must match the style of the interior design, which is not always possible. For example, a bed made of pallets will fit perfectly into the now fashionable loft style, but with rustic styles there will most likely be an aesthetic inconsistency, even though the bed is wooden.

Video: bed made of pallets in loft style

However, aesthetically universal options for making furniture made from pallets are possible if the product is relatively small, does not dominate the setting compositionally, and is equipped with some details that create visual transitions from the visually rough “core” of pallets to the overall decor. As an example, we can cite a work table that fits into an apartment of almost any design, except for frankly pretentious styles (empire, baroque, shabby chic, etc.), see figure:

Desk made from pallets

The connecting links in this case are the legs of a geometrically correct shape, but painted in a contrasting color to the tabletop and the surrounding color. The utilitarian advantage of this table is the spacious niches in the tabletop, where you can stuff all the necessary rubbish. This table is also well suited for the kitchen: the dimensions of its tabletop (from 60x80 to 100x120 cm) are optimal for a table in a small kitchen.

The legs in this product are ready-made, a set for kitchen tables with a postforming tabletop, but they are not attached in the standard way. The standard fastening of metal detachable legs for tables is 3 pairs of screw-threaded socket for each. However, threaded sockets for such legs fit firmly only in laminated chipboard or dense fine-grained wood, and are easily broken out of soft coniferous wood. Therefore, the frames of the legs of this table are fastened with 6x80 self-tapping screws at the attachment points located on the timber and through M6x (40-45) bolts to the boards. Washers with a diameter of 30 mm or more are placed under the nuts of the bolts. Standard fastening pairs will be useful to a craftsman for something else.

What types of pallets are there?

Let's first get acquainted with the types, structure and sizes of cargo pallets. This will be needed, firstly, to calculate the quantity required for this work. Secondly, to competently develop your own design from pallets. Among the latter (see also at the end) there are those that allow you to achieve 30-40 times savings in money (!) and a 3-7 times reduction in labor costs compared to standard analogues.

Types of cargo pallets

A single-deck, 2-way cargo pallet (items 1 and 6 in the figure) is the same age as the Egyptian pyramids. At least its first images are known from the time of their construction. Modern Euro pallets (items 2 and 7a) are made single-deck, 4-way. See below for more details, because... These are the ones you will most likely have to deal with.

Note:“two-way” and “four-way” in this case means the number of ways to supply slings under the pallet deck during rigging work.

2-layer, 2- and 4-way pallets (pos. 7b and 7c) are produced in limited quantities for heavy concentrated or especially critical loads and are rarely available, as well as reusable plastic (pos. 3 and 4) or metal pallets (pos. 5). Worn-out plastic pallets make a good “green” driveway to the garage (lawn road), which costs 2-4 times less than the same one made from a special mesh, and metal pallets, if you happen to have them, are best sold as scrap metal - they are mainly made made of aluminum.

Sides for Euro pallets for valuable piece goods, pos. 8, they are made from good plywood. But don't try to rip the corner pieces out of them; they are driven into place with a machine like a large, powerful furniture stapler. The whiskers of the bindings sit dead on the plywood, so it is better to simply saw off the strips with the bindings.

Drawings and standard sizes of Euro pallets

Euro pallets differ from traditional freight pallets in that they are covered with planks different widths. This simple technique made it possible to increase the turnover rate to 3-7 cycles under full load, subject to periodic revision. There are several standard sizes of Euro pallets (on the right in the figure), in contrast to the statements in most popular sources. You will most likely come across the most popular pallets 1200x800. Drawings of such a pallet are given on the left in the figure; from them you can calculate how many boards and pieces of timber will come out of one pallet.

Note: As a source of ornamental moldings, wood craftsmen are most suitable for Euro-sized pallets and designs domestic production, see fig. on right. Their advantage in this quality is boards of the same section 100x25 and all pieces of timber measuring 100x100x80. It is much more convenient to work with these than with different-sized ones.

How to make furniture from pallets?

Making furniture from pallets is almost never enough just by sawing the pallet into pieces. Already in the simplest kitchen shelf you need to attach boards to the bottom that form the actual shelves. There are enough boards on the same or the next pallet, but they need to be removed from there. Further, used pallets are not smoothly planed; they need to be refined externally, then firmly connected as needed and the finished item finished. In general, making furniture from pallets comes down to the following operations:

  • Complete (for working material) or partial (for it and assembly modules) dismantling of pallets, including sawing. As for sawing, there is only one piece of advice: lay a film on the floor and carefully collect the sawdust. They will later make an excellent putty, see below;
  • Upon request and design - tinting of blanks, including emphasizing the texture of the wood.
  • Sanding (sanding) and rough putty.
  • Assembling blanks into a product and final putty.
  • Finishing – painting, varnishing. We will not dwell on it, because... it is no different from that for all other wooden products.

Disassembly

If you have already worked with wood, then it is better for you to consider pallets as a source of molded materials: from the same number of pallets, in this way you can get much more and more valuable things. Inquire at online auctions or special resources for prices on stacked countertops, collars or boards (serving, chessboard, etc.) made from boards or end cuts, see fig. Find out the prices yourself, because... a person familiar with carpentry and wood processing does not take their word for it.

Stacked countertops and chessboard made from pallets

However, first the pallets need to be disassembled, which is not easy: they are knocked together very tightly and the nails are most often corrugated. The caps are recessed into the wood, and just picking at it with a nail puller will ruin more boards and kill you than you will get the material. That's right, quite easily and quickly, disassembling cargo pallets is done using carpenter's ax and sledgehammers 1.5-2 kg:

  • The ax blade is slipped slightly under the board being removed from the end, under the timber - perpendicular to the wood fibers;
  • Once or twice, not very hard, but sharply, hit the ax butt with a sledgehammer so that its blade goes under the board/beam at least 1/4 of its height;
  • Press down on the ax handle with your hand so that the part being removed rises by at least 8-10 mm;
  • Press down the part to be removed with the butt of an ax (do not hit too hard so that the wood does not wrinkle!);
  • If necessary, operations 1-3 are repeated until the nail heads come out enough to pry them off with a nail puller.

Foreign-made pallets are sometimes found fastened with self-tapping screws. It is not possible to unscrew them with a regular screwdriver; it is weak for this. The way out is simple: suitable for of this type bits of hardware (cross, hexagon, etc.) are inserted into a drill from 250 W and unscrewed, turning the tool on in reverse rotation. You cannot use a drill instead of a screwdriver to tighten hardware: the impact at the end may break the gearbox or chuck jaws (screwdrivers use collet chucks with elastic petals). But when turning, shock loads are excluded and there is nothing to fear for the tool.

Toning

Wood tinting (tinting), as is known, is done with special compounds - stains. Staining wood is a rather complicated process and requires precautions: working solutions and their components are toxic. However, straight-layer porous wood of pallets can be tinted with colored varnishes, diluted two or three times. Nitro varnishes are best; the appropriate thinner for them must be taken, for example. 646 or 647. Tones of almost the same quality are produced acrylic varnishes on water based, they are diluted with distilled (required!) water. Oil, bitumen and oil-resin varnishes are not suitable for tinting wood. Toning wood with varnishes is carried out step by step as follows:

  • Initial operations are carried out on “hairy” wood, before sanding;
  • You need to work in the shade or in a shaded room at a moderate (up to 25 degrees) temperature;
  • If it is necessary to emphasize the fibrous texture of wood, then before impregnation the part is passed along the fibers with a steel brush;
  • The diluted varnish is applied in 1-5 layers, each subsequent one after 5-10 minutes after the previous one has been completely absorbed. The brightness and saturation of the tone depends on the amount of impregnation;
  • The part is dried for at least 3-5 times until the varnish is completely dry, indicated on its packaging, so that the varnish dries in the surface layer of the solid wood;
  • The part is rough sanded with sandpaper No. 120-140 manually or with a grinder in one pass to remove splinters, burrs and rough irregularities;
  • Continue sanding with sandpaper No. 240-260 or finer. After each pass, the sawdust is blown off, removed with a barely damp rag, and the resulting texture and tone are evaluated. When the desired surface type is achieved, grinding is stopped.

Grinding

A device for recessing nail heads - a hammer

Before sanding, especially with a grinder, you need to additionally recess the nail heads. In addition, in order for the putty (see below) to hold firmly, the holes above the fastener heads should be no smaller than 4-5 mm. Recess the caps using special tool– doboynik, see fig. on right. It can be made using sandpaper from a steel rod with a diameter of 8 mm or more or by grinding off the tip of a bench punch. The diameter of the hammer pad should be slightly smaller than the diameter of the nail head.

putty

Furniture made from pallets is rarely puttied, but in vain. In Fig. it is clear that rough, but well-plastered furniture made from pallets looks great both on the street and in the apartment, left and center. But the holes and holes in the top of the table on the right, which clearly took a lot of work, are also clearly useless. Maybe this was the designer's intention, but it definitely failed here. If only because design art is purely functional, and dirt readily and happily collects in the holes and crevices of the countertop.

Shackled and unputted furniture from pallets

Homemade wood putty is made from sawdust mixed with PVA or acrylic glue. Proportion – 1-3 volumes of sawdust per 1 volume of binder. Thick putty (sawdust: glue = 3: 1) is putty roughly a day or two before sanding. Without rough putty, the surface of the part will go into waves after sanding due to the same holes and cracks. Liquid putty is rubbed until the surface of the assembled product is even before final finishing.

Assembling modules

Pallets and their parts are usually assembled into furniture on straight steel plates, see fig. below. But this is only due to ignorance of the basics of mechanics and strength of materials: to solid and rigid, actually point attachment points for less solid foundation Mechanical stress accumulates and the table or bed soon becomes loose, although nothing of the sort seems to have happened to them.

Assembling furniture from pallets on steel plates

Schemes for the correct assembly of furniture connecting parts from pallets are given on the following. rice. Pos. 1 – vertical angle, e.g. at the bar or garden chair. The base is a steel corner 50x50x2 or 60x60x2 with a width of 60-70 mm for diagonal pairs of nails or self-tapping screws with a diameter of 4-6 mm; from its edges to the edges of the beam there should be 15-20 mm. An important role is also played by pairs of hardware, driven obliquely, with a distance of 30 mm from the edges of the beam: it is they who “take” the focus of mechanical stress to the strongest place - to the center of the piece of timber (the connecting boss of the pallet).

Connecting furniture assemblies from pallets

At pos. 2 shows the connection of pallets in a horizontal angle, for example. for the table; The bottom boards (of which there are 3 in pallets) of the pallet-sidewalls are shortened to the thickness of the pallet-tabletop. It works on the same principle, which makes it clear that it is impossible to remove the upper bosses of the sidewalls (marked in red!), as is often done, they need to be rearranged.

The load-bearing base of the bed from pallets (item 3) is assembled using linings cut from the removed underside boards. In addition to high strength and rigidity (the bed base of 8 pallets measuring 240x200 cm does not require additional reinforcement), this creates voluminous niches for linen boxes. Using the same principle, the base of the coffee table is made from a pair of pallets (item 4), but for the sake of beauty, the bottom pallet is cut around the perimeter to the thickness of the board (25 mm). The remains of the lower bosses with a thickness of 75 mm are sufficient to ensure overall strength with a large margin.

Middle of the underframe large table always highly stressed and under its own weight, so the supporting structures described above are not suitable in this case. The underframe of a large, 200x120 cm dining table from pallets is assembled according to the principle of a spinal frame (diagram on the right in the figure), and such a table in real life does not look heavy at all, on the left there. If niches for drawers are not required, but much greater strength is needed (banquet table made from pallets), then the side linings can be made the same length as the middle ones and secured in the same way. It won’t be possible to make it even longer and stronger, covering the entire length of the underframe; there are no such long boards in the pallets.

Arranging a table base from pallets

Tabletops

Wooden countertops are traditionally made from planks. The process is complex, requiring production experience and special equipment. The purpose of joining a plank panel for a tabletop is not only to obtain a continuous surface, but also to ensure strength. In a table made from pallets, all the loads are taken on by the under-table (remember, you can load up to a ton on a pallet). The next thing that is important in this case is that the boards for pallets are cut very accurately.

As a result, you can make a good table top from pallets, which is smooth and not cracked, with your own hands without experience or special tools, by assembling it along the flooring of the under-table as if using a lathing. Simple: the first board is nailed tightly. The next one is first nailed obliquely with small nails into the edge opposite the first board, and when the gap closes, it is firmly fixed into the face near the first board. The next boards are fastened in the same way, the surface is puttied roughly, sanded and puttied clean, covering the cracks until they are completely invisible. Which are already a hair thick.

What not to do

Nothing is perfect, and there are things that should not be made from pallets. The first of them is the staircase, on the left in Fig. No, no, it will turn out strong, even if it were a herd of elephants. But for people, the height of the steps should be 17-20 cm, and from pallets it turns out to be 14 or 28. It’s inconvenient to the point of bruising the nose and abrasions on the knees.

Examples of unsuccessful use of pallets

The second is a bench like the one in the center. Perhaps its manufacturer's warehouses are filled with chains and turnbuckles, but what kind of armrests are these? And the back wobbles if you lean on your elbow. And the third is the headboard of the bed made of pallets. This is against sanitation and hygiene: a dust collector forms in the heads, which is difficult to clean.

Is it just furniture?

No, not only. From pallets you can simply, quickly, inexpensively, without complex tools and experience, make many more useful things with your own hands, especially for a dacha or at home with personal plot, see figure below:

Useful structures made from pallets

  • Vertical flower beds are the most different types, pos. 1-4. About flower beds, incl. vertical, as written in other sources, but this is almost furniture, at least garden furniture. The flower shelf is also furniture.
  • Gazebo, pos. 5. In this case, the absolutely correct technical solution: The outer boards of the pallets are arranged vertically. The result is a finished sheathing for external cladding siding or boards covered (herringbone), and inside there are cells for insulation. That is, you can build a house from pallets this way.
  • Pos. 6 – can you see who is lying down there at the entrance? That's right, it's a pallet dog house. But you wouldn’t guess it right away by looking at it. The material is waste, experiment with the decor as you like, you don’t need money for it.
  • Pos. 7 and 8 – the endurance of the pallets comes into play here. From them you can build both a simple compost heap and a real bioreactor that supplies the area with humus. By also using humate fertilizers, you can obtain soil on very thin sandy loam or loam that is comparable in fertility to chernozem soil.

Well, will it be useful on the farm? Find out the cost of the volumes of industrial wood needed for these buildings yourself. And consider the savings.

The times when making your own furniture was considered a sign of poverty are a thing of the past. Now everything “craft”, made by hand and with soul, is in fashion. A sofa made of pallets will add a special charm to a country house, cottage, hallway or even living room.

Features and Benefits

Wooden pallets or pallets are boxes designed for storing and transporting various goods, building materials or products. Such boxes can often be seen near grocery stores and warehouses. However, in in capable hands these unpolished and rough objects can take on a completely different face.

Furniture and other interior items made from pallets fit perfectly into eco-style, loft and scandi styles, and are well suited to the mood of country houses and cottages. It's all about the wood, which is not hidden by upholstery and pillows. The texture of the material gives the interior natural warmth, cleanliness and freshness. Light easily passes through the cracks in the pallet boards - such furniture does not clutter up the space. In addition, such a sofa is very light, it can be moved anywhere, which cannot be said about its massive “comrade” made of chipboard and foam rubber.

But the most important advantage of pallet furniture is its low cost. This design solution Even a student in a hostel can afford it.

The decor of such sofas can also be different. You can leave the wood clean by simply sanding it smooth. Varnish coating will add strength and shine.

You can cover the wood with stain - it will give a deeper and darker shade.

Fits well on pallets water-based paint. A sofa created using wood aging techniques will look great. You can complement the furniture by cutting, burning or applying decoupage.

Varieties

A sofa made from pallets can be designed for different rooms and goals. Suitable for a cottage or house outside the city:

  • A small sofa bench with a backrest.
  • Ottoman for relaxation.

For home interior You can consider options:

  • Ottoman or bed with headboard.
  • Bed on a base made from pallets.
  • Sofa with armrests.
  • Corner sofa.
  • Children's sofa bed.

Both in the country and in a city apartment upholstered furniture made from wooden pallets will perfectly complement the “cabinet” made from the same materials. Coffee tables, dining tables, breakfast trays in bed, racks for magazines and books, hanging shelves - all this can be made from pallets in the same style as the main piece of furniture.

The sofa can have a back (then it will be used for sitting) or a small headboard (then it will become a place to sleep). You can easily complement such a sofa with armrests, drawers at the bottom, and make it completely closed on three sides.

You can turn pallets into a trestle bed - a sofa into oriental style, on which you can lie and eat/smoke a hookah at the same time.

Most often, the design is simple: a base is made from pallets, on which a mattress is placed on top. You can specially order a comfortable mattress of the appropriate size and cover it beautiful fabric. For rustic options, a retro mattress taken from the mezzanine is perfect. The role of the backrest and armrests is most often performed by pillows. They can be ordinary, but best of all - furniture ones, made of foam rubber. As an option, leave the pillows from the old sofa and cover them with a fabric that suits the style.

The simplest base option is pallets standing on the floor. No legs needed! You can add wheels to the base - then the sofa can be very easily moved from place to place.

How to do it yourself?

Pallets are not just boxes knocked together anyhow. This is an auxiliary equipment officially accepted in the field of logistics and cargo transportation, which is produced according to standards. A certain number of pallets enter a container, and the containers are unloaded into transport. This is why pallets are so easy to work with - they come out of production the same size, board to board.

  • Europallet has dimensions of 80 cm by 120 cm. The distinctive sign is a brand burned into the legs with EUR beeches in an oval.
  • Finnish pallet slightly wider - its size is 100 cm by 120 cm. In the form of a distinctive sign - the FIN brand.

Euro and Finnish pallets are certified. They have the same height - 14.5 cm.

Thus, if you want to use these types of pallets for furniture without legs, you can immediately expect that the height of the base of the sofa will be just over 14 cm from the floor.

There may also be uncertified samples on sale (these are also used on the domestic market) - cargo pallets that are equal in size to Finnish and European ones, but they do not have a mark. Moreover, they can be made from boards different thicknesses and width.

Pallets differ in grades - first, second and third. Premium pallets are held together with screws. Moreover, they are clean, bright and undamaged. Low-grade pallets may be dirty, darkened, and inside they may be knocked down with ordinary nails.

All this is important to consider if you plan to make furniture not from new pallets. Knowing that there are nails inside, it is worth carefully inspecting the pallets and strengthening the connections so that the sharp fasteners do not inadvertently fall out.

Ideally, it is better to purchase new or very slightly used first-class Euro pallets. It's inexpensive, but much safer. They look eco-friendly, and the brand adds style.

After choosing the pallets themselves (the size of the pallet will allow you to understand how many pieces you need for a sofa of a certain size), you must treat them with an antiseptic. This is especially true for used pallets, but new ones won’t hurt either. This is done not only to kill bacteria, but also to extend the life of the tree. Special formulations:

  • Prevents rotting.
  • Prevents the formation of mold and mildew.
  • Reduces "flammability".

Antiseptics can be water-based, oil-based or combined - which one is right for you, it is better to consult a specialist at a building materials store. Before processing pallets, clean them and degrease them. Then, using a brush or roller, you need to apply the composition to the pallets, according to the instructions. Usually the wood is literally impregnated with an antiseptic, applying 4-5 layers. After this, the tree dries out for 2-3 days (ideally if it is on the street or on the balcony).

Now the pallets are ready for “assembly”. The simplest type of sofa is a bench. Such option will do for a summer house or garden plot, as outdoor furniture.

One or two Euro pallets and several wooden blocks 5-6 cm thick will be enough for it. A hammer drill, a screwdriver, bolts, screws, washers and metal corners will be useful for the work.

To make the base for the bench, you need to do the following step by step:

  • Cut the pallet into 2 unequal parts. A standard pallet is assembled from 7 boards; you need to divide it so that one part has 4 boards and the other 3. The wide part will be the seat, and the narrower part will be the back.
  • Fold the backrest and seat together at an angle of 90° and tighten tightly with screws or self-tapping screws.
  • Strengthen the fastening wooden blocks , which should be attached diagonally from top corner backrest to the bottom corner of the seat. You will get something like diagonal armrests.
  • If desired, you can make legs from the remaining boards so that the pallet does not lie on the ground. It is best to make them low and thick enough and fasten them, reinforcing them with metal corners.
  • Throw a mattress and pillows on the sofa.

It is best to place such a sofa against the wall, because over time the back may become a little loose.

To make an ottoman for a sleeping area, you will need 6-8 standard pallets.

To get a beautiful base, you will need to use a Euro pallet that has an EUR stamp on the legs.

  • For each pallet, measure 20 cm from one edge and saw off this part completely (along with the “legs”).
  • The board that has been sawn off and the legs must be separated by removing the fasteners from the inside. These parts will become the fastening in the place where you will connect two pallets to each other.
  • Take two pallets with sawn edges, fold them with the cut facing each other.
  • Place the “legs” under the boards, and place a board on top that was sawn off. Secure with screws.
  • This way you won't just knock two pallets together, but you will make a “seam” that will hide the place of the cut and the base of the bed will look like a single large pallet.
  • Using the same principle, connect other pallets. It will be very beautiful and convenient if the base of the ottoman is two pallets high, that is, you will need to make two bases and place them on top of each other, connecting them with fasteners. There is no need to be afraid that the structure will collapse - pallets are initially designed to carry large loads and to stand on top of each other.

  • The base is additionally sanded and sanded. You can stain the pallets with stain, varnish or paint if you want.
  • After this, you can put the mattress on the ottoman(any, depending on your wishes for comfort), and also decorate with blankets, bedspreads and decorative pillows. Advice from experienced designers– to prevent the mattress and pillows from “riding” on the bed, you can sew strong ties along the edges and pass them between the pallet boards. This way the mattress will remain in place even after a stormy night.

A corner sofa can decorate your living room, and in the country - a veranda or gazebo. You can make a low sofa from one layer of pallets - then it will be oriental-style furniture.

Ideal if you complement it with the same low table. For the living room, taller furniture made from pallets stacked on top of each other is suitable.

The instructions are as follows:

  • For one row of base you will need 3 pallets. We connect two of them to each other in length. This will be the longer part of the seat. You can simply knock them down end-to-end, or you can do it by sawing and placing the legs, as described above.
  • We connect the third pallet at right angles to the long part of the seat– you will get a shorter part and an angle will be formed.
  • Next, if necessary, make a second row similar in height.
  • The back of such a sofa is made from other pallets. To do this, you need to remove the legs and bottom boards from them. You will get wooden gratings. They need to be placed vertically, attached to the very bottom of the base. This way the back will be quite strong and high. Place as many “lattices” as needed along the length of the sofa.
  • Next comes sanding., tinting, decorating with paints and textiles.

With armrests

At master classes from designers on the loft style, they often show a sofa with armrests made from the side parts of a pallet. This universal material, from which you can assemble furniture like a construction set. The side parts can serve as shelves, table legs, and storage shelves.

If you need a sofa with armrests, then you will need 2 additional pallets for them. Saw off the side parts along with the legs without separating the parts. The result will be parallelepipeds, empty inside with small blocks of legs along the edges. They will be the armrests. Simply lay them on the sides of the sofa and attach them with screws. From one pallet you will get 2 armrests - left and right. To make them taller and more functional, duplicate them on top with the same parts from the second pallet.

Design ideas

Depending on the style and purpose, you can make a variety of sofas from pallets. The most important rule for successful interior design is support. That is, there should not be only one such craft sofa. It must be supplemented with a table, shelves or some other parts from the same pallets.

A lot depends on the textile - its color scheme and fabric texture will help achieve an impressive effect.

The same tone is repeated by large pillows folded at the back. Pillows in purple and lilac shades are in harmony with the mattresses. And striped pillows connect the table (on which there is a towel made of the same fabric) and the sofa into a single ensemble.

Another example of a bright corner of a country house is a small sofa-chaise lounge on which you can drink cocktails and sunbathe. The wood is painted with bright paint - this once again emphasizes how good the pallet looks with or without painting. Stylish bright blue pillow bases are made to order. Red pillows make the ensemble even brighter and tie the sofa and the rolling table together.

How to choose the right pallets

The pallets, of course, must be intact, without damage, cracks, or rotten boards. But these are not all the requirements. Pay attention to the labeling of pallets. If there is an IPPC mark, this means that the wood of the pallet was processed in compliance with international safety requirements.
