PalletGate dreams…
PalletGate was my earliest use of pallet hard scrap and is still in use, even to this day. And even to this day, I haven’t got around to painting it purple.
I had to buy hinges and a couple of carriage bolts but everything else was scrap from the eclectic mix of rubbish that forms “my stuff”.
PalletGate today – tatty and a bit worse for wear but still soldiering on (like its creator)
One day, I want to add a new handle made from recycled milk cartons – I started the project to do this a long time ago, but that can be the subject of another ScrapHappy!
Happy Scrapping!

oOo
I enjoyed the Palletgate saga when it first came out! Still an excellent and exemplary use of scrap. It’s good to see some (if I may be a little sexist about this) boy-scrap in our rather textile-heavy line up 🙂

I love pallet recycles! We made a couple of items using pallets ( a kitchen work table and art works).

They have turned out to be so useful, for all sorts f things like furniture and gardening aids I suppose you could stack things on them too! 🙂

That’s a great idea, and furthermore, it works! I love the humor of your first picture and how the gate sees itself or dreams of being.

Thank you! And PalletGate has survived some storms too, much to my surprise. I think it deserves a coat of paint at some point! 🙂

Heehee! I’m glad I went back to enjoy the whole PalletGate saga from the beginning! An excellent piece of scrapping – and still standing strong against invading chickens, I see!

I am pleased you enjoyed it! I think the chickens are resigned to it now, but if we got new chickens, well, I think they might see PalletGate as a challenge to overcome!

Hahaha! Now I’m picturing something a little like “Chicken Run” happening in your back garden! 😂

That is pretty much that seems to happen sometimes!
