5 Ways to Reuse our Delivery Pallets in Your Garden

When you receive a delivery from Mainland Aggregates, such as a bulk bag topsoil delivery, it often arrives on wooden pallets. Instead of throwing these pallets away, consider these innovative ways to repurpose them, enhancing your garden while helping the environment. 
  
1. Fence Repairs 

Use your wooden pallets to mend gaps or reinforce parts of your garden fence. The rustic look adds charm and character while ensuring privacy and security. Or, paint it to match your current garden aesthetic. 
  
2. Garden Tables 

Transform a pallet into a stylish garden table. Sand the wood, apply a coat of weather-resistant paint, and attach some legs to create a functional space for outdoor gatherings or a quiet coffee corner.  


  
3. Vertical Planters 

Pallets can be converted into vertical planters, an excellent way to maximise gardening space in small areas. Here’s how you can create one: 
  
A. Gather a pallet and clean it well. If desired, sand for a smoother finish.

B. Staple strong landscape fabric (weed barrier fabric) to the back, sides, and bottom to hold the soil and prevent it from falling out. 

C. Stand the pallet upright, fill it with soil, and plant herbs, succulents, or flowers. This setup is perfect for balconies or small patios, adding a lush, green touch without taking up much space. 
 
Here are some benefits:

First is space-saving, as it makes use of vertical space efficiently, allowing you to grow more plants in a limited area. Secondly is versatility because it is suitable for both indoor and outdoor settings. And the third main benefit is aesthetic appeal. It adds a unique and beautiful element to any space as well as giving you the freedom to tailor it to your preferences, whether you leave the wood the same, paint it, gloss it, sand it or wrap it in a material that fits your home’s aesthetic. 
 
4. Compost Bins 

Assemble pallets into a box structure to create a compost bin. This is a practical way to manage organic waste and produce nutrient-rich compost for your garden. 


  
5. Garden Path 

Create a garden path by breaking down the pallets into planks. Lay them across your garden to enhance its aesthetic. 
  
Reusing pallets from Mainland Aggregates not only reduces waste but also adds functionality and beauty to your garden. Explore these creative projects and transform your old pallets into valuable additions to your outdoor space.
