If you love great DIY projects and saving money on material, this is a tutorial you will love. It is easier to build an awesome deck out of pallets than you might think. First, look at these pictures of finished projects and then get your own pallets ready for this project!
Are you looking for a unique deck that costs next to nothing and can be built in less than a weekend? Wouldn’t it be great to have a beautiful space that’s easy to maintain and belongs only to you? This project was originally inspired by HGTV.com when they featured a similar project that was made from concrete tiles… Ouch! Instead of concrete, I wanted something more eco-friendly and cost effective like a pool deck made from pallets since I also have a pool on my property. I also appreciate the rustic, yet modern look and feel of a recycled wood deck for my outdoor living space.
How to build a pool deck out of pallets
Build a deck on top of your pool with pallets. This is a great idea if you want to build a deck for your above ground pool.
Use pallets to build a deck around your above ground pool. This is an easy way to make your yard look more attractive and save money!
Build a deck out of pallets around your above ground swimming pool or on top of it. This is an easy and inexpensive way to add some extra space for entertaining or relaxing in the sun.
Pallet Pool Bar
Let’s face it, a swimming pool is better when there are drinks nearby. Why not build a bar out of pallets around the edge of your pool? It will be easy to access and guests will love it!

Pallets are the perfect material for building a deck because they’re inexpensive and readily available. You can also get creative with your pallet pool deck by adding a bar or other features.
You can use this DIY pallet pool deck as inspiration for your own backyard project. Follow these steps:
1. Cut the pallets into long planks, leaving about 5 inches on the bottom of each plank for stability. You’ll need 8 planks per 4-foot section of deck, so plan accordingly. (You’ll also need some extra planks if you want to add extra features like a bar.)
2. Build up the sides of each plank with more wood or string them together with rope or wire so they don’t fall over when wet or weighed down with water from your pool filter system.
3. Lay down plastic sheeting underneath your pallet decking so that it’s easier to clean up when it gets dirty over time (or if you spill anything).
Pallet pools are a great way to save money and make your own pool. You can make one yourself with some pallets and some ingenuity.
The first thing you’ll need is a pallet pool kit. These kits come with everything you need to build a complete pool from scratch including the filter and pump. If you don’t want to make your own, you can buy an assembled one online or at your local home improvement store.
Once you have your kit, follow the instructions carefully and make sure everything fits together properly before filling up with water. When all is said and done, sit back and enjoy your new swimming pool!
Building a deck out of pallets is an easy project that you can do yourself and save some money at the same time. The best part about using pallets for your pool deck is that it will be one of the most unique decks in your neighborhood.
How to build a pool deck out of pallets:
1. Lay down your first row of pallets and mark off where you want your joist to be placed. Use 2x4s for this step, but you can use 2x6s as well if you’d like more support under your decking boards.
2. Using a hammer drill or similar tool, predrill holes through each pallet so that when you screw them together with 2″ screws (or 3″ if you’re using 2×6’s), they won’t split or crack the wood over time due to shrinkage and expansion caused by changes in temperature and humidity levels over time (which happens with wood).
3. Once all the boards are screwed together, measure from one end of the row to the other end and cut another piece of 2×4 (or 2×6) long enough so that when it’s placed on top of the first row of pallets, its ends line up with those
How to Build a Pool Deck Out of Pallets
Building a pool deck out of pallets is an easy and inexpensive way to get your hands on some free wood. The easiest way to do this is to use pressure treated lumber and follow the guidelines set by your local building code. This project is also a great way to repurpose old pallets into something useful.
Materials Needed:
– Pressure Treated Lumber
– Wood Glue
Step 1: Measure and Cut Lumber – Before you begin this project, you’ll need to measure and cut all of the pieces of lumber that you’ll need for your deck. Use 1x4s for everything except for the support posts, which should be 2x4s. There are two options for how you can cut your lumber: using a circular saw or using a skill saw with an angle adapter (this will allow you to make straight cuts on the top and bottom of each piece). If you choose option 2, be sure that you don’t round off any edges when cutting because it will make fitting pieces together much more difficult later on in the project.
