Perhaps try to find a local pallet factory. They sometimes have a pile of discarded pallets that they might let you take. Otherwise theres always the option of using more than one pallet.

Great work, the best and simplest way I've seen so far. I'm doing exactly the same right now, but before I start putting together the pieces I have one (maybe stupid) question: why don't you attach the side cuts to front and rear in order to maintain the equal lenght of those for the bottom? I have got just a multitool, so in my case the less cutting, less work and less error. Maybe it could affect the structure or something? Maybe it doesn't really matter? Anyways, thanks for the great video 👍

@nedimdza3811 3 ай бұрын

Also, in addition to your fantastic build I'm going to wrap the inside with plastic, add a thin layer of expanded clay and a drainage hose just below the clay level. That was an advice from a friend, supposedly it retains the moisture and all the excessive water goes down so the roots won't get soaked. Will see how it works...

Thank you for your design. You K.I.S.S.ed it! Other than the screws, this was a free build! Curious as to why you didn’t add drainage holes. Is that because the bottom boards weren't that tight/board imperfections? I'm keeping this video!😊😊😊

@ourkilkennyhomestead2006 4 ай бұрын

Thank you so much for your kind words. Yes you are spot on, there were small gaps in the wood that were just right for sufficient drainage without the compost washing out too. If the boards were a tight fit then drainage holes would definately have to be made.

@procs 2 ай бұрын

Hello possibly a stupid question but if the boxes have the short planks on the inside of the long planks, then surely when I put the 4 long planks on the bottom later on, they will be slightly too long... did you have to trim your 4 planks to make them fit? As the length of the sides internally is reduced, by the width of the short planks (maybe only a few centimetres). Hope this makes sense! Cheers for your video though, I still plan to try and follow this!

@ourkilkennyhomestead2006 2 ай бұрын

Yes if you're fitting them internally from a set of planks equal in length then you will have to shorten them by the width of each end wall which was 18mm per wall in the case of this build.

@procs 2 ай бұрын

@@ourkilkennyhomestead2006 OK cheers that makes sense. Do you reckon you could get away with just 3 on the bottom by the way, with spaces in between instead of 4 next to each other, or would the gaps be too big? (I intend to line mine with some kind of empty compost bag, or similar..)

@ourkilkennyhomestead2006 2 ай бұрын

@@procs no probs, don't think you'll get away with removing one bottom plank as the gaps would be around 2-3cm and the soil would fall through. It could be done however if you fitted a porous liner of some sort inside the box.
