If it can't be fastened with a Tek screw, you need a larger assortment of them. :thumbsup:

Ah, the humble pallet, they have 101 uses them things, I made some planter boxes to grow some veggies out of them a few years back and they're still going strong and producing fresh produce. Was thinking of putting a few up in a tree for a hide on a property I hunt on. I use them to pin targets to also......now it looks like I need to make a shooting bench as well.....love ya work... :thumbsup: :drinks:

Edit : great for firewood also, specially for getting it started.

Lets not forget the farmers fixall of all problems,,,,,,,,

Binder twine (hay bale string)

Plaited belts, hog ties, hold up hydraulic hoses, tie down stuff in the ute, hold the ladder, gate hinges,

The list is endless :lol:

Baling twine
Fencing wire
Cable ties
Duct tape
Tech screws

And if all that fails, whack a few bugles in for good measure. The perfect tool box of fixings! :lol:

The missus manages a banana farm so we pick up a heap that would just be burnt otherwise. Started a foaling paddock for my mares with them. Soaked in a bit of used motor oil from the loader to stop termites and moisture getting into them. :thumbsup:

Good use for pallets, I like the fold up ladders with a top put on top for portable shooting bench, they go great especially those with adjust legs.
