RE: The World's Ugliest Fence?! Perhaps... but it was FREE!! ♥ Making a Pallet Fence:
Not the world's ugliest fence, that honour goes to one built, like yours, from scrounged pallets. The builder lacked your artistic talent.
You have to pro-rate the cost of the leftover screws to determine the true cost. A few bucks, even if you have to buy a new box of screws, is a small price indeed for a long fence as long as it keeps the sheep in or does whatever might be required of a similar project.
For those of you who might be considering a similar project, don't give up just because you don't have a husband with access to pallets in bulk. Look for piles of pallets behind stores and warehouses or a couple of pallets where a roof is being replaced. Make sure you ask, you can go to jail for taking pallets without permission, even if they were going to be thrown away.
Trust me, I'm a doctor.
Haha!
Yes... I suppose I DO need to factor in the cost of leftover materials... I was just excited that we didnt have to spend any money. Although the nails pulled from the porch WERE free since we did not build that porch, haha.
Yes, like I told someone else, if you want pallets, most likely you can find free ones. You can make an ad offering to haul them away, or just ask. Many stores have stacks of pallets out back that are doing nothing. There are tons of things you can do with pallet wood!
