Garden lounger made of pallets - inexpensive alternative
Are garden loungers from the garden market too expensive or do you love something special? Then opt for a garden lounger made of pallets. Euro pallets are inexpensive and can be transformed into great garden lounges and lounges with little effort.
Build a garden lounger out of pallets
To build a garden lounger from pallets, you need only a little manual skill. Also, the cost of materials is limited. You need:
Where do you get europallets from?
Euro pallets can be found on commercial premises. There they are given for little money. Just ask. Also in the local classifieds you will find.
Pre-treat pallets
Before screwing together, carefully sand down the pallets with sandpaper. If you want to paint them, first treat them with primer and apply the paint when the pallets are completely dry.
Assemble garden lounger out of pallets
Screw two pallets at a time. Then two elements are put together. They make up the lying area.
If you wish, screw one edge of the pallet to one side of the new lounger. They form the back wall for the garden lounger. If this wall is too high for you, shorten the Euro pallet accordingly.
Since pallets are quite heavy, you should install rollers below. Then the garden lounger can be moved more easily.
Sew upholstery for the garden lounger
In order to be able to lie comfortably on the garden bed, you get foam in the trade. You need two pieces in the size of a pallet and a half size piece as an extra pillow. Make sure the foam is as thick as possible. Cut it so that it completely covers the lying surface of the garden lounger.
As a coating material is awning fabric. It is particularly tear-resistant and breathable. This moisture can be better dissipated.
Cut the fabric so that you can sew covers for the upholstery. As a closure you should incorporate zippers. Then the covers can be easily removed later for washing.
Tips
If you do not screw the Euro pallets together lengthways, but crosswise connect, you get a wider deck area. You will then have a garden lounger where two people can comfortably sit.
