Rustic Pallet Potting Bench

Pallets and potting benches pair particularly, perfectly well together.  A little alliteration for you--but it is true!  This pallet wood was weathered, a lovely grey so I chose to work with that and make a more rustic looking bench.  
Although each potting bench I make is a little different, I always like to include a few of the same elements:  a bottom shelf,
hooks or places for gloves, tools,
something extra on the top/back such as a shelf or chalkboard. Here are a few of the recent signs I have painted on pallet pieces.
I did slap on a little paint and stain, but let the natural wood shine through.
The cross piece in the back helps make it a little more sturdy.
A great place to get all of those spring pots planted.

  5. I know you use pallets for a lot of projects, are they hard to disassemble?
