Border your garden with cheap old wooden pallets in a chic style

Landscaping projects generally are expensive for the pocket. Simple projects also cost a bomb. However, if you wish to cut down on your cost then you can choose another alternative like old wooden pallets. Sometimes these pallets are available for free too. They can be used for a number of creative things. The pallets can either be used straight from the box to give a more rustic look, or can be polished for a better finishing. small-homes-with-plants-in-yard-made-from-wood-and-cement-Breathtaking-Garden-Ideas-Ravishing-garden-chair-Traditional-Style Be sure to check for damages while you are purchasing the pallets. The second step is to adjust the pallet to get horizontal slats. Thin boards that are used at the pallet’s surfaces are called slats and thick boards that are used on the middle and edges are called rails. Pallets that have slats on bottom and top provide more wood to work on. The third step is removing all the staples and marking the nail heads.

Also, take precautions to protect yourself using slat eyewear, dust mask and ear plugs. Carefully cut alongside the chalk line. Repeat the same process on the right hand side of the rail to the left. Cut across using the chainsaw stepwise, cutting each sequentially. After you have finished cutting it, thump the slat at the center rail. Use a rubber mallet to do so. If it gets difficult cutting it with a mallet then use pry bar. This process should give you perfectly cut slats of three feet each.

Placing the pallets as borders is an easy task. You just need to cut the slats as per the required size. Then, dig up a trench to get a perfect border. Line them up in such a manner that they get aligned in the same height. Then fill the remaining trench so that they hold up straight. Pallets used in this manner look attractive and beautiful. They give a unique border to your garden. Summary: Why spend on expensive garden border materials? Instead some cheaper options like the wooden pallets can work wonders. The above-mentioned process if followed accurately can help you design your garden beautifully.]]>
