Crazy Affordable: DIY Shipping Pallet Couch
DIY + How To
Another pallet project! We can’t help ourselves. We think modern is reusing materials you already have to make new, awesome things, and shipping pallets are something this earth has in abundance. And, if you play your cards right (i.e. drive around until you find some) they are usually free to you! Using some foam, fabric and paint, some folks transformed six shipping pallets into a pretty luxurious corner couch. And, we love that the pallets become storage for board games and books! You’ll definitely need some sewing and painting skills for this project, and we regret the link we have is more inspiration than instruction. Still cool, though!
What do you think of this latest shipping pallet project we’ve found? Cool? Or you’re still not into shipping pallets?

Where can you buy cushions to match the size without making them yourself?

Well, unfortunately I think you have to make them yourself :/ But if anyone knows a resource for good-sized, ready-made cushions like this, let us know!

Twin sized mattresses are the perfect fit on shipping pallets :)

how was the backboard done? how is it supported? Can you give a more detailed view? I love this!

The back board looks like it’s just resting opportunistically on a wall…

I love this idea… I plan on using this model to make an “outdoor seating area” on my back porch. A much cheaper alternative to purchasing an l outdoor sectional sofa! I plan to find the cushions first and then retrofit the pallets to fit the cushions :-)
