I would check the pallets, before hand, for a stamp. Some are treated with harmful pesticides. Look for HT (for heat treated), and you should be fine

I’m gonna take my half finished one and also do this

Great garden bed and great video, I typed it out to make it easier for myself. Hopefully this helps someone else: First you will need enough pallets to make a 4 x 8 foot bed. That would be enough to make around 56 boards to cut to 16 inches. You need a circular saw to cut them evenly and efficiently. When cutting the pallets, leave the boards on each end to use as bracing later Use a measuring tape, drop saw, and square to cut the boards square. Once you make one side square bump it up against something flat to make the other side square to make them 16 inches. Once you have the 56, 16 inch boards (or whichever length works). Cut the end boards off the pallet in half longways so you can use them to brace the borders you'll be making. A straight edge and some clamps on a couple of cement block raised 2x4's is what he used to align the boards to make the walls evenly. Put the wider boards at the end. You will now need a power driver to predrill holes in the braces and to drive the wood screws. Place the bracing on the back, predrill, and reinforce with 10 or more screws. Make six sections. Take two sections cut them exactly to four feet and combined them together with another bracing piece to create a 8ft wall. Do this twice. Take some lint seed oil and brush every side of each section liberally to protect the wood. Figure out where you want to put and be sure to clear it out and make it level before you start assembling. He uses corner clamps to hold the corners of the sections together so that he can attach a small block of wood behind the corners to hold them together. To do this he pre-drills and then puts a couple of screws to hold them in. Repeat for all corners. Get two 8ft 2x4's, linseed oil them, pre-drill and attach them to the top of the borders for railing. Be sure to put screws where needed to make it flush with the wall. Take the last 2x4 board and cut it to length and attach to the last two edges. Once you're done fill it with organic material. Exactly what you will need to do it like the video: 3 or 4 pallets Circular saw Drop saw Measuring tape Square Straight edge Two clamps Power drill Screws Linseed oil Brush Level Corner clamps four small wood blocks Three 8ft long 2x4s Did I get everything?

Hi, just watched this vid and it is totally cool-have a patio that has cracked concrete beyond use and repair. Just figured out my project for the summer! Also, I might suggest that at each corner, even with the top of the pallet boards, you might want to add maybe a 3" waste piece of 2x4 for added support...the connections there would be much stronger with the top rail. Just a suggestion-with my luck, the entire raised bed would fail once the soil is added if I did not line up the screws perfectly through the top rail and thin pallet boards! Thanks for the info!!

Love this !!! The passion for growing and the positive upbeat delivery... Not overdoing the cautionary tales and "don't do's"... It's clear that you just want to get growing and the beds are just a means to an end... exactly as it should be !!

Suggestion: Use a Sawzall to cut apart the pallets, just slip a 12" metal cutting/demolition blade between the plates and stringers and cut the nails. it will be easier than the circular saw and you get to use the already square cut ends. When you assemble the panels into the box, put your corner block flush with the top, so you can screw the top plate into the nice thick block, instead of the thin side board, and do the same with 2 middle blocks on the long walls and 1 middle block on the short walls. If you do the previous suggestion then the stringers can be cut to make these blocks.

Just what I was looking for. Something cheap or free and a simple design that is not over engineered! Not too deep. Also nothing touching the soil that you don't want absorbed by the plants. It's very zero waste and eco friendly. And it looks great too. Love it.

Brilliant presentation and design! I really like the vertical board positioning. I live on an acre, and just as you said in the video, I plan to fill it as much as possible with your pallet beds. Love the linseed. Here in Riverside, Ca., the climate dries out the wood. Now I know how to preserve it. Thank you so much, so glad I discovered you!

Your enthusiasm is totally inspiring , going to start raised garden build this season for sure! Keep the videos coming.

I made one of these 4 years ago and it is still in great shape. Watching this again today because I am going to make another one. Thanks!

It turned out so pretty! Brilliant time saver to cut them rather than pulling a million nails. This is for sure on my agenda.

Thank goodness y’all are back! We need Tuck’s pawsative garden personality (Good seeing you too James)!

James and Tuck, This is an awesome project! Thank you so much for everything you bring to us.

Just found your channel. Cool planters. 1500+ comments too many to search through but just wanted to give a warning. Be careful when choosing pallets to use for gardening as lots can have chemicals that were shipped and spilled on them. Also lots of pallets are heat treated to allow them to be used in air transport. If they are marked with HT(heat treated) or DB(de-barked) they are fine for use. Avoid anything marked MB as those were treated with methyl-bromide which could be hazardous for gardening. It will be marked somewhere on the upright outer sideboards not the flat cross boards and looks like a square with large letters stamped on the wood. Safe gardening!

James, I love watching your channel, it's very informative. I have a small side garden in California, so I've really tried to maximize my space, thank you for all your great ideas and planting tips.

James!!! I'm so happy to see you! Springtime - YAY! Another great resource is the local mattress recycling place. In my town they give away free the box-spring bases, which are way easier to take apart than pallets and great for trellises. Also the springs make amazing scaffolding for beans, peas and tomatoes...or any vines.

Multiple coats of oil on all 6 sides of boards before you assemble for better protection. Also space boars slightly using a couple of small nails as spacers between boards when assembling - this allows the wood to swell a bit without buckling as well as dry out between boards a little better.

We made a raised bed out of pallets this past weekend. Thanks for the excellent instructions!

Just a little tip from woodworking: When you wipe off the excess linseed oil with a rag be careful where you leave that rag afterwards - because it might spontaneously start a fire. When linseed oil is exposed to the air a chemical reaction starts that emits a lot of extra heat. This can cause rags soaked in linseed oil to sometimes, just out of nowhere, catch on a fire totally spontaneously. So NEVER throw away the rag in the garbage, it might burn your house down. Always keep used rags in a metal bucket or bury them to naturally decompose, or dispose of them somewhere else safe.

I think this is a great idea, but I would have lined it with landscaping fabric before putting in the compost. That way your raised frame will last longer. Another couple of ideas that I have used for the base of my beds is first I put in a layer of gravel for good drainage (we get a LOT of rain) and the I put in hardware cloth to keep out the moles and gophers. Next the landscape cloth, and finally the compost and potting soil.

Hi thx for your videos. I like the enthusiasm you put in it and the fact they are very explained. I'm from Normandy, north west France. I like to watch gardening videos from other regions of the world because it brings brand news ideas.

We bought part of a mtn here in WA state. In order to get flat areas for gardening, we had to build retaining walls into the mtn . Basically they are 3 sided “raised” planter beds. They make it so much easier to garden in.

The raised bed was great. Your step by step instructions are very practical and doable. You make it look easy. Thanks for the video. They're not just informative, They are inspirational. Hey, What kinda dog is Tuck? He is so chill. Give him a 'WAZZZZUP' scratch for us.

Just saw this. So much quicker and more efficient than the way I've been building them! Thank you!!

Hi James I hope your going to continue doing you tube videos. We are just on cutting down pallets to make some of these. Its a fantastic way of making a taller raised bed which I need with my back without breaking the bank with the cost of the wood. Thanks

Loved the smile on your face when you brought in the seeds. Awesome job on the bed.

I’ve just bought a house and wanted to grow my own food, so this is a great introduction to growing. I will definitely subscribe and in hope find a video about composting and dirt for growing but please post if you don’t have any! Thanks 👍🏽

Awesome! We want to try this ourselves. I think we may put the screws in from the outside so that vertical boards that start to go bad can be easily replaced without digging out any soil. Also, the narrow support for the top plate looks a little weak to us, so we'll probably add a furring strip or something to spread the load more when sitting on the edge of the beds. Overall, this looks like a great system for creating raised beds quickly & cheaply. Question: does anyone know how long these beds will last before the weather takes its toll?

Thank you for this. I'm watching multiple different pallet raised bed videos, yours is really pretty. I'm excited to start my garden with my kids this year.

Thank you so much for this very informative video. I just wish I was a few years younger and didn't have mobility issues so I could build this for myself. I already use raised beds (22 of them) but as they are several years old and some of them showing signs of aging (like me !) I have repaired them just about as far as they will stand so am probably looking to rebuild some of them for next year. I like the fact that you can make them as tall as your wood will allow and I can see that being an asset to me as I do have to sit down a lot. I probably would have to tweak the width as I am apt to fall into my beds if they are too wide. I am not very tall so my reach isn't as long as yours. Three feet wide would probably be my limit but that is doable. I have a pretty good workshop so this might be a good project for the winter. To build the sides, ends and top pieces ready for assembly in the Spring. Thank you again, I love your videos, very informative and realistic. I like that you promote using free stuff also, I have always been a big believer in recycling whatever is available. Take care and stay safe.. Sandie from Ontario Canada. PS. I have a cordless drill but am going to get a second one, I hate having to keep changing from drilling holes to putting in screws, having a second drill like you is such a great idea.

If i were doing that I would build a ramp for the wheel barrow fill to dump into the bed.

Thank you for your precisely innovative and inspiring videos! Let's get growing America!

Lord! This is amazing! Thank you

I take apart pallets all the time, from my job and build all kinds of things, including raised garden beds. If you want to save time cutting things more than once and creating waste, stand your pallet up, lean it on some work surface, use a reciprocating saw, cut down between the boards and 2x4 of the pallet, thru the ends of the planks, right thru the nails. You end up with full boards in a few minutes. Then you can make your cuts however long you need the pieces. The circular saw method takes too much time and cuts useful wood up needlessly.

I’m glad I watched. I have a stack of old pallets that were here when I bought the house & land. Mine may not end up as nice looking, but should serve the purpose. I love the idea of using boiled linseed oil. I use it for treating wood handled for tools, but never thought of using it in place of a water sealer. Thanks for your tips. I will put them to good use.

Hi. Do you need the boiled linseed oil? Is the one that is not boiled not good? The boiled one here in Nova Scotia, Canada, is $13 per 1 Litre bottle (about 4.5 Litres = 1 gallon), so it is very expensive. A large can of the unboiled kind (around a gallon) is around $43 + taxes (Canadian). They do not sell the boiled linseed oil in a 1 gallon can.

@@mikecomeau2561 I honestly don’t know that much about it, but I haven’t researched it. I’m on the cheap side, so I used some old stuff I’ve had for years. If it was me, I would try the less expensive stuff by doing a test on a small piece of wood. If it wasn’t as good, I would put in in an old pot & boil it outside. I don’t know if that would work, but it’s just an idea.

Love this thank you ! You saved me so much time and trouble not having to try and pull out all those rusty old nails, I was given some pallets and now I'm making a large planter for a rose up against my house and I have enough left to do 3 more 90cm x 60cm planter boxes, brilliant thanks again for the tutorial it's the best I've seen.

I love it❤️ I am on it. Thank you for sharing. No nonsense, simple instructions, this gal will get er 👍 done.😊

Had a few pallet ones in Northern Ontario.. 6 years now.

I would have added the cross bars connecting the pallets at the top and bottom, this would give something to screw into when adding the 2x4 on top. This would probably increase the number of pallets needed but would result in a more secure end result. I also would have added a full 12 inch 2x4 in each corner to give more strength in the corners. Also lining it is a good idea that others have suggested if that is in the budget.

Yeah, I was thinking the same -- a cleat at the top would help with installing the cap

Thanks James! Awesome! Learnt so much again. Thanks for breaking the building of the raised bed down in a very systematic and clear way. Keep up the good work, bro!

Brilliant use of recycled wood. Organic food grow at home. I love your work.

My 6 years old daughter loves to see you saying (let's go). She watched this over 30 times. We love your dog

I used this technique this weekend. The bed from an aesthetics view is sharp. A ton of drilling and screws but nothing beats being outside!

I am in love with your puppy, Tuck!!!❤️ He looks so much like my Bo (Bocephus) it's amazing...same size, same coloring. My BFF, for life, for sure. Enjoyed your video too. You do have infectious enthusiasm.

Great way to recycle, repurpose and get a great raised bed with little cost. I made one of my raised beds using old roofing panels, and lumber I had. The metal was rustic red, stained the lumber, and it matched the shutters on the house. Didn't have to buy anything. After watching this, my next one will be out of old pallets. Thanks

That raised bed was gorgeous. Very ingenious!
